Challenges in Deportation Cases Arise Under the Trump Administration | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia highlights another issue defining the early days of the second Trump administration. Garcia, a man who lived in Maryland, was deported to El Salvador, where he is now being held among violent gang members. After a ruling by the Supreme Court, Garcia must be returned to the U.S. due to his mistaken deportation. However, the Trump administration says it is up to El Salvador to deport him. Meanwhile, in Vermont, a Palestinian student at Columbia University was arrested by U.S. agents during a scheduled citizenship interview. Mohsen Mahdawi is a permanent U.S. resident and has been active in campus protests supporting Palestinian rights. His case echoes that of Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder facing deportation for protesting the war in the Middle East. Andrew Arthur, a resident fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, joins to discuss the legal implications of these cases, including whether a U.S. court could compel the president to act on the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He also shares whether a judge can hold the president in contempt of court over an issue like this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
