The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland has implemented a standing order that halts the Trump administration’s attempts at expedited deportations of noncitizens who have filed for habeas corpus relief within the state’s federal court system. This legal initiative, signed by U.S. District Chief Judge George L. Russell III, comes in response to the erroneous deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. The decision also reflects Maryland’s ongoing high volume of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention cases.
