U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to "facilitate" his return to the United States.

Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court's order to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should "remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien's ability to return here," not help extract him from El Salvador.

The SC was complicit when they chose the word “facilitate” instead of giving measurable tasks.

make (an action or process) easy or easier.

That’s so fucking little a requirement, it’s effectively not one. How no one saw this I don’t know.

And yet the Trump admin still failed to follow it

All they had to do (as an example) is tell someone, somewhere, that only one form of ID is enough to let him back into the country—if he happens to show up there—to be compliant.

Anything along these lines is “following the court order” to facilitate his return.

That's the problem, SCOTUS saw it and specifically reduced it from effectuate down to facilitate.

Well, in the end they can't force another country to return someone, even if they wrote it in plain English. There is only so much that can actually be done. I'd be surprised if The World's Coolest Dictator^TM was that opposed to returning the person, if alive, though.
