Justices uphold judge's order and say Trump officials must facilitate' return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to United States

The US supreme court upheld on Thursday a judge's order requiring Donald Trump's administration to facilitate the return to the United States of a Salvadoran man who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to El Salvador.

US district judge Paula Xinis last week issued an order that the administration facilitate and effectuate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, in response to a lawsuit filed by the man and his family challenging the legality of his deportation.
