Supreme Court orders US to act on Abrego Garcia's illegal deportation

The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously criticized the Trump administration for the unlawful deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, ordering the government to take steps toward his release from a Salvadoran prison where he has been held since March. The Court highlighted that Garcia was deported despite a judge's order preventing his removal, and emphasized the lack of legal justification for his arrest and deportation. While the ruling mandates the government to facilitate his return, it did not provide a clear pathway for ensuring this outcome, leaving questions about enforcement and compliance. Garcia's situation raises concerns about the precedents set for future deportations without proper legal grounding, as his legal team argues he poses no threat. The Justice Department acknowledges the ruling but stresses the complexities involved in foreign policy and deportee management. This case has prompted a U.S. district judge to demand clarification on how the government will comply with the Supreme Court's decision.
