The Supreme Court of the United States ruled 9-0 last week that the Trump administration must “facilitate” the return of a Maryland man it says was wrongly deported to El Salvador. That man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deported on March 15 and sent to what’s been described as a notorious gang prison in the Central American nation.
The Supreme Court granted in part — and denied in part — a petition to have Abrego Garcia returned, noting that a district court’s deadline to return him had passed. But the unsigned opinion did note that the government “should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.” Has the administration defied the high court order, as some have suggested? What are the next steps?
