Supreme Court says Trump must ‘facilitate’ return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

By John Fritze, CNN

(CNN) — The Supreme Court on Thursday required President Donald Trump’s administration to “facilitate” the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador but stopped short of requiring the government to return him to the United States.

The high court said that the administration must try to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who was deported on March 15. It said part of the lower court’s order requiring the government to“effectuate” his return was unclear and needed further review.

The court did not give the administration a deadline for when Abrego Garcia should be returned.
