Statement from Chair Edward Burroughs and Vice Chair Krystal Oriadha after Supreme Court delays return of Beltsville man who was mistakenly deported:
We strongly condemn the Supreme Court ruling delaying the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to his home in Prince George’s County. It’s deeply troubling that Chief Justice Roberts would prioritize the Trump administration's request over the well-being and rights of someone wrongfully removed from this country. The Trump administration has admitted it made a mistake when it deported Kilmar and a federal judge has ordered that he be returned home by today. There is absolutely no reason to prolong the nightmare he and his family are experiencing at the hands of the federal government, and we call on the Supreme Court to bring Kilmar home to his wife and children. The Council will continue to fight for his family and stand strong with our immigrant community against these illegal tactics.
