Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said the case of a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador is a \u201cconstitutional crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy, seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, argued that Kilmar Abrego Garcia should not have been deported because he had been given protected status by a U.S. court, which determined he could be endangered if sent back to El Salvador.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump ignored that court order and deported him,\u201d Murphy said in a video posted<\/a> Tuesday to the social platform X. Murphy noted that Abrego Garcia has a wife who is a U.S. citizen and children born in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such a brazen violation of the law that the Supreme Court weighed in. In a rare 9-0 ruling, the Supreme Court said that Trump had to bring this individual back to the United States, but he still didn\u2019t do it. This is the constitutional crisis,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The Supreme Court in its ruling on the case<\/a> upheld a lower court’s requirement for the government to \u201cfacilitate\u201d Abrego Garcia\u2019s release, but they also cautioned that the lower court judge’s authority only goes so far and that she may not be able to \u201ceffectuate\u201d the man\u2019s return.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s left both sides in the legal battle arguing points they say back their views of the case.<\/p>\n

In his video posted to X, Murphy said, \u201cIf the president has the power to jail … to deport anyone, even if they have a legal right to be here as a citizen or through protected status given by the courts, then none of us are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
