The deportation of Jordin Alexander Melgar-Salmeron, despite a federal appeals court order permitting him to stay, has raised concerns over U.S. immigration enforcement practices. The DOJ lawyer attributed Melgar-Salmeron's deportation to "a confluence of administrative errors," noting that he was removed just 28 minutes after the court's order. This incident is not isolated, as it follows other deportations that flouted court rulings. Immigration attorney Matthew Borowski criticized the lack of accountability for officials, warning that without consequences, such violations will persist, undermining judicial authority in immigration matters.
"Until these guys start facing real consequences for their actions they're going to continue to snub court orders and violate law," said attorney Matthew Borowski, emphasizing the pattern of ignored court orders.
DOJ lawyer Kitty M. Lees detailed that a 'confluence of administrative errors' resulted in the deportation, highlighting the lack of accountability for the officials involved.
The case of Melgar-Salmeron reflects systemic failures, as he was deported only 28 minutes after a court order allowed him to remain in the U.S. for litigation.
Previous instances of similar deportations, including those of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia and others, demonstrate a disturbing trend of violating court orders by immigration authorities.
