Supreme Court Unanimously Orders Return of Wrongfully Deported Salvadoran Migrant

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant wrongfully deported to El Salvador. The case highlights the administration's disregard for due process in deportation proceedings and the court's determination to check executive overreach. While the Court's opinion was cautiously worded, the justices broadly condemned the administration's actions, setting a precedent for future cases. The case also reveals a secretive agreement between the US and El Salvadoran governments involving the deportation of gang members, the details of which remain unclear. The ultimate outcome hinges on the lower court's enforcement of the Supreme Court's ruling and whether the administration complies with the order to return Abrego Garcia.
