U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the United States.

Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should “remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here,” not help extract him from El Salvador.

    If you kidnap Trump, JD Vanice becomes president and declares war on ElSelvador for abducting Trump.

    Or perhaps does nothing and enjoy presidency who knows

      Then kidnap both. It’s not deportation, it’s sending them to exotic country for free.

      Nah, they’d just donate one of their fantastic sofa’s to the White House and JD would get in line.
