Donald Trump’s administration must facilitate the return of a second man wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador, a federal judge has ruled, deepening a standoff between the courts and White House over the president’s radical immigration policies.
District Judge Stephanie Gallagher said Wednesday the 20-year-old Venezuelan, along with multiple other migrants, was protected by a 2024 class action settlement prohibiting the deportation of migrants who arrived as unaccompanied minors until their asylum claims are fully adjudicated.
His case comes amid a mounting political row over the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran returned to his native country and still imprisoned there, despite the US Supreme Court ordering the government to facilitate his return.
The United States has paid El Salvador millions of dollars to lock up scores of migrants it says are criminals and gang members, in a maximum security prison with a history of alleged human rights violations.
Abrego Garcia, who has not been charged with any crime, was detained in Maryland last month and expelled to El Salvador along with 238 Venezuelans and 22 fellow Salvadorans who were deported shortly after Trump invoked a rarely used wartime authority.
The Trump administration has claimed that it doesn’t have the power to bring him back, raising fears that its defiance of the Supreme Court was placing the country on the cusp of a constitutional crisis.
Gallagher, a Maryland-based Trump appointee, said she concurred with the ruling in Abrego Garcia’s case that “facilitation” meant taking concrete steps to bring wrongly deported migrants back to the United States.

Exactly, N-O!
Does El Salvador know that a US district judge is in charge of their country?
"[Chief Justice John] Marshall has made his decision. Now, let him enforce it."--President Andrew Jackson

What happened to Trumps plan to ignore these foolish rulings until the Supremes rule on limiting the scope of federal judges power?

He’s 20 years old. There is no need to conceal his identity….convenient in that there is no way to check his background like was done with Garcia.
Could it be that’s because he’s a tatted-up, wife beating, human trafficking, etc…. member of Tren de Aragua?
This makes 3 lawfare attacks… today. Trump really is at a crossroad now. He can go Andrew Jackson and know impeachment will come if we lose the House or accept a hobbled Presidency that cannot deliver a number of his promises.
It is way past time for this sh*t to end...Trump and team MUST do something....
