Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driving home with his young son in Maryland when he was deported to El Salvador .

A Maryland court ordered Mr Garcia be returned to the US , but the Trump administration says it has no authority to do so.

The Supreme Court put a temporary hold on lower court orders while they consider the matter.

Experts say the case has potential to upend due process for immigrants.

Chief Justice John Roberts issued an administrative stay on Monday night , pausing lower court rulings while the US Supreme Court considers the government's appeal.

Immigration lawyers are watching the case closely, considering it a test for how much power the White House can exert over immigration.

President Trump touted the stay as a victory, writing on Truth Social that the ruling allowed the president "to secure our Borders ".
