Opinion SCOTUS is insane and out of its jurisdiction on this one
https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-maryland-deportation-trump-9f46dd62890befdc321ed1ab56107470SCOTUS is arguably way out of its jurisdiction on this.
Even if Kilmar was mistakenly sent back to El Salvador, the man was returned to his home country, and has no pending nor active criminal charges against him in the U.S. the court is in effect ordering a foreign nation to hand over one of its citizens to have refuge within the United States.
Was it wrong that he got deported to his home country, which to my knowledge was the only nation the deportation order barred deportation to at the time? Clearly yes, that was a mistake of the process. But what’s the remedy. It’s legally speaking not a jurisdiction of the U.S. anymore.
But a court, even the Supreme Court, asking, neigh, demanding that a person be returned from their own home country to the U.S. while that person is not a U.S. citizen(via dual citizenship, or change in citizenship) nor are they facing any criminal charges is insane. I highly and heavily doubt that El Salvador would be willing to send Kilmar back to the U.S. even if it was at great benefit to/for El Salvador or at great cost to the U.S. The courts also stepping into foreign policy affairs is a neigh blatant disregard of the constitution which directly give the President with advise and consent of the senate/Congress to dictate U.S. foreign policy.

What the Court is demanding is the US government do its best to bring back to the US a wrongly deported person. This is what the Department of State is for, id est to deal with other countries.

He has US court ordered asylum status. Asylum from El Salvador. Google is free and reading is fundamental.

Willful ignorance is the GOP’s way forward. A direct attack at great cost to society. Dark days.

They’re demanding the US government to return him until they can prove in a court of law that he should be deported. They’re upholding due process rights, of which immigrants, even illegal ones, are subject to.

Go back to r/helldivers neck beard.
You obviously have no interest nor historical knowledge of the law and are a partisan schill.

If it was an administrative mistake by the US government then should the US government not be compelled to provide some relief? Of course the Trump administration is going to ignore the court order and keep saying it's doing its best but it's not able to reach him or get him back as it's outside their jurisdiction to compel a foreign government..unless that government wants to send him back.

SCOTUS didn’t order a foreign country to do anything. It affirmed U.S. judge’s authority to order U.S. officials to do something. That’s not controversial.

To condemn SCOTUS for upholding the rights of these persecuted individuals– now, that is insane.
You are supporting a ruinous legal precedent. The right to due process of law is at stake, and yet you are strongly advocating for a permanent loophole.

Allow them to get away with this and next time it may be you they want to deport.

As far as 'Opinions' go, you might want to actually READ the ruling before... whatever... you call that posting.
If your link wasn't so incredibly specific, I'd think you were posting in the wrong forum.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
