The Supreme Court told the Trump administration to bring back a man wrongly deported to El Salvador. But legal experts say the ruling is a mess. The Court’s order didn’t make clear how the government should handle foreign prisons or force another country to act. This vagueness leaves America’s hands tied and shows why judges shouldn’t meddle in immigration enforcement.
The administration admits a paperwork error sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran prison. But they stand firm that he’s a suspected MS-13 member. Keeping dangerous gang members out is a top priority. Letting courts dictate deportation fixes would open the door to endless lawsuits from illegal immigrants.
Conservative lawyers Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing blasted the Supreme Court’s decision. They called it poorly written and reckless. Letting judges micromanage border security undermines the President’s authority. The ruling could let anyone kicked out of the country sue to come back, creating chaos.
El Salvador’s leader says he can’t release Garcia. The U.S. can’t strongarm allies just because a judge says so. President Trump rightly told El Salvador’s president that Garcia’s return isn’t America’s call. Respecting other nations’ laws keeps international partnerships strong.
Garcia’s family claims he’s innocent and needed here. But immigration rules exist for a reason. The administration says he’s tied to a terrorist group, and safety comes first. Letting one case slide risks more illegal crossings by those pretending to be victims.
The government refuses to bow to a contempt order over Garcia. Courts shouldn’t punish officials for following immigration laws. Every minute spent on this case is time stolen from stopping real border crises.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent. Activist judges could soon order the return of every deported criminal. That would wreck border security and overload the system. The Supreme Court must stop overstepping its role.
America’s focus should be stopping illegal entries, not rewriting rules for those already removed. The Trump administration is right to push back. Strong borders need leaders willing to stand up to judicial interference.
