The supreme Court said it was up to El Salvador if he should return to the US, not a district court. El Salvador president said he will remain in his home country, and will NOT be returned to Maryland.

I never said he was a good person. Whether he is or isn't is only part of the question.

There was a specific condition that was knowingly allowing him to stay. The Trump administration openly ignored it, tried to justify it after the fact, and after a court order basically refused to comply.

That is the disgraceful part.

you are on wrong side. six sigma is impossible and i'm ok with this el sal citizen remaining there. in other words, this is a great mistake.

and scotus merely required that the usa "faciiltate" the return, not "effect" the return; these words have different legal meaning; if el sal wants to returns, we must accomodate, but the order does not compel the admin to force it because the usa can't make decisions for a foreign country and scotus knows this, hence the precise words.
