The Trump administration openly defied a unanimous Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador, to the U.S. Despite the court mandating the administration “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release and ensure his case proceeds as if he hadn’t been improperly deported, Trump and Bukele refused compliance. The administration misrepresented the ruling, claiming it only required providing transportation if Bukele chose to release Abrego Garcia, while falsely alleging Abrego Garcia’s MS-13 affiliation despite a judge finding his testimony credible. This defiance, enabled by ambiguous Supreme Court wording, has led to a judge ordering daily updates and considering contempt charges against the administration.
