Alrighty, so the Trump administration is in the middle of a very hot fight with regards to this deported Salvadoran migrant. The deported Salvadoran migrant, whose name is...
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, you'll recall, had a deportation order on him. He was an illegal immigrant. And then there was a withholding order that suggested that he could not be sent back to El Salvador because he claimed that he had fear for his life, that he'd be killed in El Salvador because he's a Salvadoran migrant. And maybe he had gang ties and maybe he didn't.
The court said that the executive branch of the United States government had good cause to believe that he might in fact be a gang member, a member of MS-13. President Trump then declared MS-13 a terrorist organization. And so the idea now is that sort of retroactively, he becomes a terrorist because he was suspected of being a member of MS-13. Well, he was sort of accidentally deported.
He was not supposed to be on the plane because of that withholding order that said he was not supposed to be sent back to El Salvador. He was sent back to El Salvador. A district court found that the government had to facilitate his return from El Salvador back to the United States so he could have due process before we deported him again. That case ended up going to the Supreme Court.
And in a 9-0 order, the Supreme Court stated that the district court had the power to say that the United States government, the White House, ought to facilitate his return to the United States, but they didn't define the term facilitate. So here is what the actual court order said. It said, quote, the application is granted in part and denied in part subject to the direction of this order.
Due to the administrative state issued by the chief justice, the deadline imposed by the district court has now passed. To that extent, the government's emergency application is effectively granted in part and the deadline in the challenged order is no longer effective.
The order properly requires the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been properly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term effectuate in the district court's order is, however, unclear and may exceed the district court's authority.
The district court should clarify its directive with any due regard for the deference owed to the executive branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the government should be prepared to share what it has, what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps. If that sounds vague to you, that's because it's incredibly vague.
