Jonathan Turley Says SCOTUS Must Provide Trump Admin With Two Critical Concepts To Resolve Deportation Cases

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday evening on “The Ingraham Angle” that the Supreme Court needs to provide “finality and clarity” for the Trump administration regarding their deportation cases.

The Supreme Court in April ruled on a handful of cases from the Trump administration, with some addressing their push on deportations of illegal migrants. While discussing the possibility of illegal migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia being brought back to the U.S., Fox’s Laura Ingraham asked if there was a risk for the Trump administration with the Supreme Court’s recent rulings.

“Well, there is a risk. Early on, I joined many saying that Garcia should have been brought back under that order,” Turley said. “He would have been deported again. I mean, he could have been deported back to El Salvador, and this has drawn out that case.”

“The administration wants to fight on this hill. That’s very obvious. The risk is always that you’re going to alienate judges,” Turley added. “Just this weekend, a very respected judge, a conservative judge in the Fourth Circuit, really cautioned the administration to de-escalate. I think that those words should be heeded.”

In March, Abrego Garcia was deported from the U.S. to a mega-prison in El Salvador, leading an Obama-appointed judge to demand the administration bring the illegal migrant back. The Department of Justice brought the case before the Supreme Court, arguing that Abrego Garcia’s alleged MS-13 gang connections should justify his remaining in El Salvador, despite the error in deporting him.
