The government has said Mr Garcia was deported on 15 March due to an “administrative error”, although they also maintain he is a member of the MS-13 gang, which his family denies.
In their emergency appeal to America’s highest court, the administration argued the Maryland judge lacked authority to issue the order and that US officials cannot compel El Salvador to return Mr Garcia.
If the supreme court doesn’t force the executive to try and get him returned things are going to get even worse too.
