Supreme Court says Trump administration must facilitate return of deported Maryland man
U.S. District Judge had ordered Abrego Garcia, now being held in a notorious Salvadoran prison, returned to the United States by midnight Monday.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, rejecting the administration’s emergency appeal.

This is the one to watch. All of the cases are important, of course, but this one has come to a head. The top layer of the judicial branch has issued an order at odds with the wishes of the Trump administration, and it's the executive branch's constitutional responsibility to see that the order is carried out.
This is where we find out if our fascist leader has any guardrails left to protect our democracy or if we truly live in a fascist state where people can be disappeared with complete public awareness at the whim and pleasure of ICE.
No, el Salvador will save trump by losing the prisoner
That's not a win for Trump that's a loss.
It's a win if he says it's a win. Even if he doesn't, his remaining supporters will find a way to spin it as a win
Crazy assholes gunna crazy asshole, luckily in this case we didn't need to give a shit about their perception.
Would you consider that result to be an administration that has deferred to the rule of law? Would that make you feel safer?
Unless it is demonstrated that our legal system still has the power to correct wrongs being done by the administration it doesn't much matter. "You might be unlawfully abducted and lost before the judiciary can return you" is not a message that resolves this as a demonstration of where the regime's limits are. They want to strike fear, and "a judge said to bring them back but that didn't happen" does that just fine.
