The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected on Thursday an effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to halt next steps in an ongoing legal saga involving the erroneous deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador.
In the 7-page ruling, Judge Harvie Wilkinson, a Republican who was appointed by former President Ronald Reagan, warned the administration’s actions appear lawless. The ruling was unanimous from a three judge panel.
“The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply,” Wilkinson wrote. “The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.”
