SCOTUS to POTUS: Bring Me the Head of Abrego Garcia

 

Not to be confused with the object of that 1974 second-tier Sam Peckinpah movie, but the coincidence of names is worth noting. 

As it was with Alfredo, so it is with Abrego - some powerful people want him returned, only in this case with his head still attached to his body. Read the SCOTUS decision here

The current Garcia is, of course, a Salvadoran citizen who is in the custody of the Salvadoran government. That'll make him very easy to find but very hard to return. 

In any case, all SCOTUS asked of the Trump administration was that it "facilitate and effectuate" his return. So, short of ordering SEAL Team 6 to rescue him from Salvador's Center for Terrorism Confinement, I'd guess the administration will be unable to deliver.

SCOTUS should brace itself for disappointment.
