SCOTUS never ruled he must be returned. So the premise of the video is wrong from the get go.

The AP got a hold of our agreement with El Salvador. It says the imprisonments are pending based on our determination of how long each detainee should stay.
So we totally can get him back. Dear Leader is lying straight to your face again.
Like enforcing immigration laws, obeying court rulings is tiresome.

This seems like it might become kinda tiresome for the administration too, though:
On the other hand, someone pointed out to me that that if the judge escalates to holding contempt hearings, Trump can just pardon his entire administration and carry on. Sooo … this should be interesting.
Due process still matters to me—even for this El Salvadoran migrant. Somehow, Trump’s actions in this case remind me of Chiang Kai-shek’s infamous line: “宁可错杀一百，不可放过一个” — “Better to wrongfully kill a hundred than let a single one go free.”
This quote became closely associated with Chiang’s suppression campaigns, especially during the White Terror period, when mass arrests and purges targeted suspected people. It reflects an extremely harsh and uncompromising authoritarian mindset, where the fear of subversion justified the sacrifice of justice and human rights. You could also argue that Taiwan became what it is today because of how much people disliked 老蒋’s old ways. The transition to democracy wasn’t just a natural evolution—it was a direct response to the authoritarian legacy he left behind. In a way, the deep public resentment toward that harsh, top-down rule helped push Taiwan toward a freer, more open society. It’s ironic, really. The U.S. was once seen as the global symbol of freedom, rule of law, and democratic evolution. Now, you’ve got segments of the country flirting with authoritarian rhetoric, selectively applying justice, and undermining institutions—all while waving the Constitution like a prop.
Undermining rule of law is a bipartisan effort. What’s odd is this widespread notion that flouting the law only undermines rule of law if the other side does it.

Yeah they ruled he should “facilitate”. Don’t see any facilitation. They’re in the room with Bukele and are like “we can’t do it it’s up to him and he doesn’t wanna do it either. Right? Right?” Doesn’t look like trying to me. If anything they’re trying not to do it. Twist it however you want. People aren’t stupid. Well not that stupid at least.

So “facilitate” in this ruling only means to make it easier for the individual to return to the U.S. Doesn’t order an enforcement of “shall return.”
FWIW.

You’re just ignoring my post at this point lol. Show me any facilitation. Anywhere. I’ve only seen Trump and bootlickers trying to prevent his return but asking Bukele to be the scapegoat.

I’d also suggest that continuing to pay El Salvador money to keep him in jail is the opposite of facilitation.

That was my point? Facilitation is only as enforceable as an “ask” in this case. I don’t believe any official request other has been put out, but in any case the president of El Salvador has already stated that he “will not” return this individual to the U.S. So it becomes an unenforceable order and a moot point.
This looks like a job for… the United Federation of Terrorist Defenders!
Marching proudly to free and release both MS-13 members and Hamas fanboys, because in their world, lawbreakers are heroes… and the borders, the law and order are violent oppression. Israel bad, Hamas good.
If only he were slapping tariffs on friendly countries to twist their arm, then that woukd stand out as an obvious and easy solution

Facilitation only means they would allow him travel to the USA. They do not need to provide that transportation. Anyway the President of El Salvador says he cannot be released and returned to America.
Also SCOTUS warned the Federal Judge that Trump has executive authority on foreign matters the federal court cannot interefere with.
Well well well, it looks like Marco Rubio wrote in his biography that his grandfather was here illegally, was ordered deported, then obtained legal status.
Just like Abrego Garcia.
So, little Marco’s daddy wad an anchor baby?

No, and neither was Abrego Garcia. No one has show a shred of evidence otherwise. His fellow workers stand behind him.
