Supreme Court's Unanimous Decision
The Supreme Court recently delivered a unanimous decision regarding Kilmer Obrego Garcia's wrongful removal to El Salvador, demanding that the administration facilitate his return to the U.S. The ruling highlighted the administration's earlier claims of jurisdiction over Garcia's deportation, which were undermined by judicial findings that he faced threats if returned to El Salvador.
