Court cancels hearing in Abrego Garcia deportation case as government seeks new destination

A federal court canceled a scheduled hearing regarding the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national previously sent to a prison in El Salvador despite a court order. The Trump administration is seeking to deport him to a third country, with potential destinations including Liberia, Eswatini, or Uganda. Abrego Garcia’s legal team argues that Costa Rica is the appropriate destination, as it has offered him refugee status and residency. The case remains active as the government pursues alternative removal options following the dismissal of criminal charges against him.

D.C. Circuit signals support for Boasberg's contempt probe into El Salvador deportations

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals appears poised to allow U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to continue his contempt investigation into Trump administration officials who deported hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador despite a federal court order. During a three-hour hearing, most judges expressed skepticism toward the Justice Department's attempt to shut down the probe by focusing solely on former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The court is expected to rule soon, potentially sending the case back to the district court or to the Supreme Court.

White House Halts DHS Plan to End TPS for 200,000 Salvadorans

The White House intervened to stop the Department of Homeland Security from publishing a notice that would have ended Temporary Protected Status for approximately 200,000 Salvadoran residents. This move occurred three weeks after the program was originally scheduled to expire, effectively delaying the decision. The intervention highlights internal administration tensions between immigration hardliners and business interests, occurring five weeks before a critical election. While the administration has not yet announced a final decision on the program's future, the abrupt halt surprised officials within DHS and underscores the complex political calculations surrounding Hispanic voters and base loyalty.

Judge orders return of asylum-seeker twice deported to El Salvador in contempt ruling

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher found the Department of Homeland Security in contempt for deporting an asylum-seeker, identified as E.L.A., to El Salvador twice in violation of three court orders. The judge ordered the government to return the man to the U.S. and halt further removal attempts until his asylum case is fully processed. E.L.A. is part of a 2019 class-action settlement protecting unaccompanied minors, and court documents indicate at least 107 protected individuals were removed before their claims were decided. The man refuses to return without assurances that his asylum claim will not be terminated, a guarantee the Justice Department is unwilling to provide. This ruling follows an August finding of civil contempt by the same judge regarding the removal of young asylum seekers.

M7.3 Offshore Mexico Quake Triggers Tsunami Warning; No Major Damage Reported

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off southern Mexico near Puerto Madero, triggering a tsunami warning for parts of the Pacific; no deaths or major damage were reported in Mexico or Guatemala, though tremors were felt in El Salvador. Observed waves about 0.3 m were recorded along some Mexican coasts before the threat was downgraded. USGS put the depth at 15.2 km; aftershocks followed, and authorities urged residents to stay away from beaches and monitor guidance from NOAA and local officials.
