| This order just says Trump has to facilitate getting him out of jail in El Salvador as if he had been regularly deported. It does not in any way require him to be returned to the US nor will he be. People need to read the words the court used. |

There is nothing in the order that requires him to be brought back to the US. |

From Yahoo News: In 2019, an Immigration Judge (under the first Trump administration) determined that the deported man was, in fact, a member of the MS-13 gang. He also apparently had multiple traffic violations for which he failed to appear in court," Vance said. (His initial post said the "Biden administration," not the "Trump administration," which Vance later corrected and clarified in another post.) Court documents filed by Abrego Garcia's attorneys said he has no criminal charges or convictions in the United States, El Salvador or any other country; a search for Abrego Garcia's name in Maryland's judiciary court case system returned no results. ADVERTISEMENT The court filing from ICE did say that in an April 2019 hearing, an immigration judge denied Abrego Garcia bond "because 'the evidence show[ed] that he is a verified member of [Mara Salvatrucha] ('MS-13')]" and therefore posed a danger to the community" (Page 2). However, again, an immigration judge's determination is not the same as a conviction. Merriam-Webster defines "conviction" as "the act or process of finding a person guilty of a crime especially in a court of law." But in this case, Abrego Garcia was at a bond hearing, meaning the judge's ruling determined whether Abrego Garcia would stay in ICE custody. The immigration detention system in the United States is legally classified as civil, not criminal, meaning this hearing was not over a criminal conviction in the first place. |

Quote please. What I have read is that "he did not prove that he was not a danger to society." Nothing about MS-13. And in reality, not necessarily anything either |

| So if a judge determines him to be a MS 13 gang member, it’s good enough for me to get his ass out of the US, conviction or not… |

No he wasn’t. Why are you repeating a known lie? |

Both a judge and the appeals board accepted that he was MS 13. He had judicial review and was ordered deported. Later a judge protected him from deportation to El Salvador. He was NOT protected from all deportation (“thus the administrative error”). “In 2019, immigration officials began efforts to deport Abrego Garcia. When he sought to be released from immigration custody with a bond, the government contended that he was a member of MS-13, an international criminal gang. An immigration judge denied Abrego Garcia’s request for release, finding that “the evidence shows he is a verified member of MS-13.” Although the judge acknowledged that she was “reluctant to give evidentiary weight” to Abrego Garcia’s “clothing as an indication of gang affiliation,” she concluded that it was enough that a “past, proven, and reliable source of information” had verified Abrego Garcia’s “gang membership, gang rank, and gang name.” The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed that ruling.” https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/04/justices-direct-government-to-facilitate-return-of-maryland-man-mistakenly-deported-to-el-salvador/ |

A judge did as did the appeals board. |

You do not need a conviction to be deported. |

Wrong. A judge deemed allegations sufficiently credible to deny him bond. That is not a determination of affiliation in anything. |

The order asks the lower court to clarify what it means by 'effectuate'. |
