The Trump administration, in a filing posted to the docket several minutes after a 5 p.m. Saturday deadline, said Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and remains detained in El Salvador.

The Supreme Court intervened this week in a number of cases involving President Donald Trump's efforts to dramatically transform the government, maintaining legal guardrails for deportations while also allowing the administration to continue with mass firings of federal workers.

A federal appeals court Wednesday paused a lower court's ruling ordering the government to rehire around 24,000 probationary workers.

A Texas judge blocked deportations of anyone held in a South Texas detention facility who may be removed under the wartime law and a New York judge planned a similar order in part of that state.

The AP sued in February when it was excluded from events and travel for refusing to change references to the “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Gulf of America” in its coverage.

The Supreme Court at least temporarily blocked a federal judge's ruling that requires six federal agencies to fully reinstate around 16,000 federal works the Trump administration wants to fire.

The United States does not have to return a Maryland man who was accidentally deported to a high-security prison in El Salvador to U.S. soil by midnight, the Supreme Court ruled Monday in an administrative stay that temporarily pauses a judge's previous order.

The ruling said a judge can't block Trump’s plan nationwide but made clear that people swept up must have a chance to challenge their seizures before they can be deported.

A federal judge on Sunday insisted the Trump administration bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man accidentally deported to a high-security prison in El Salvador, rejecting efforts to delay a Monday deadline for his return to the United States.

A Justice Department attorney who struggled in court Friday to explain the Trump administration's deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on administrative leave, a department official said.

Judges showed some frustration this week with how the Trump administration has been defending itself in court, with one saying it appeared to have used "bad faith" tactics, another accusing it of using "disingenuous" arguments and a third saying it was making "inaccurate" claims.
