Comment on Man deported to El Salvador will never live back in US, says White House
Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com 2 days agoThey will have to get a fresh order specifying the new country (which they can’t get because it’s a human rights violation).
That is false. If you’d read the court ruling you’d know that’s false. The only issue is that he was sent to El Salvador. As of yet, nobody else has agreed to take him and nobody has asked.
Most likely they’ll return him to the United States and he will stay in prison here or they’ll ship him to gitmo.

The court did not rule on that issue. You’re not getting that from the court. You’re getting that from the Trump administration. Specifically, from Trump’s Chief of Staff, misrepresenting the issue to the press.

Yes, under U.S. immigration law, Kilmar Abrego Garcia could legally be deported to a country other than El Salvador, provided that country agrees to accept him. This is because his “withholding of removal” status specifically prohibits deportation to El Salvador due to the risk of persecution there, but it does not prevent removal to other nations.
However, in Garcia’s case, the U.S. government has not identified any third country willing to accept him, nor has it pursued such an option. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March 2025, despite the legal prohibition against doing so. This action was later acknowledged by the U.S. government as an “administrative error.” 
Following his deportation, Garcia has been detained in El Salvador’s Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), a maximum-security prison. Despite a U.S. Supreme Court order directing the government to facilitate his return, both U.S. and Salvadoran authorities have yet to act on this directive. 
In summary, while it’s legally permissible to deport Garcia to a third country other than El Salvador, such an action would require that country’s agreement to accept him, which has not occurred in this case
