There was no deportation order. There was a withholding order: and order prohibiting his deportation.

He could be sent anywhere else if they agreed to take him.

It is a human rights violation, as well as a violation of US and international law, to “deport” someone to a third party nation. What you are describing is completely unlawful for both the US and the hypothetical third-party nation.

There was no deportation order. Deportation is a criminal justice matter and can only be ordered by a judge. Trump invoked the alien enemies act specifically so he could repatriate (not deport) “enemy” aliens without involving the courts. He wants to treat immigrants as enemy combatants; invaders that can be dealt with by the military as combatants or POWs rather than as criminal defendants in court. Here, he fucked up because this person already had a withholding order permitting his presence.
