This Garcia case is interesting. It seems that Garcia is an illegal alien, and in 2019 two immigration courts ruled that he is eligible for deportation because he is an MS-13 gang member. But, he can't be deported back to El Salvador because there is a chance that rival gangs may inflict great bodily harm. So, he was allowed to stay inthe United States.
Recently, Garcia was caught up in an ICE dragnet and deported to El Salvador to that prison that the Trump administration is using to house alien miscreants. Garcia's lawyers got involved and sued for his return. The Trump administration admits that it was a mistake to deport Garcia to El Salvador, but they had no power to have him returned.
The case got fast-tracked to SCOTUS, who upheld a lower court ruling ordering that Garcia be returned.
El Salvador's president said that Garcia is a citizen of his country and the country has cleaned up its gang problem and the president of El Salvador has no authority to take a citizen and smuggle him into the US. Basically, El Salvador has told SCOTUS to go kick rocks.
The Supreme Court does not always get its way.

Nor should it, that’s called a dictatorship, not a democracy.

I'm struck by 2 things:
This is that 4-D chess stuff in action. Trump wins. He tells the SC he tried to get the guy back, Buekeleley said 'no'. My hands are tied. I tried though, I really tried, it was beautiful, you would have loved it.
Second:
We can't keep him here, because (as a gang member), he's a threat to all the people here.
He can't go back there, the people there are a threat to him. He MUST be brough here, where he will be a threat to all of these people!
