John Roberts could've said the govt must get Garcia out of the Salvadoran principle they sent him to while SCOTUS determines if the govt violated his rights, as the district court ruled.
Or Roberts could block that court order and leave Garcia there while SCOTUS adjudicates.
He picked the latter.

Here I think it's more likely he thinks the Trump Admin will simply ignore the order so it's better politics to wait for the full SCOTUS ruling.
The Supreme Court deciding to permit lawbreaking because they guess the politics of ruling that the government has to follow the law would be difficult, that is a very serious problem, not a defense.
Allowing trump to deport you with no judicial review or adjudication to a life in prison in a foreign country is slave trading.
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
I'd say being shipped to a foreign gulag is pretty fucking cruel and unusual. Remember: if immigrants don't have rights, no one does.
Which way those votes go is the question.

John Roberts ignores kidnapping,
To delay Trump’s El Salvador reckoning.
If Garcia is killed while his ruling stands,
They’ll all have blood on their hands.
Soon he will wine about how no one trusts the court. HERE IS WHY, Moron! Clearly, justice is not being served here.
Next up, the insurrection act on April 20, and Donald will be able to send even citizens into a gulag just for dissenting.
Alito, supporting insurrection.
We are in the hands of far right court.
Thats the BEST case.
It's a choice.
Given Roberts’s judicial history, either is perfectly plausible.
As @gregdoucette.bsky.social predicts, when the choices are issue an order Trump will likely defy, or twist the law until it allows his lawbreaking, this Supreme Court will pick the latter.
The only harm ruling with the lower courts would have been to Trump’s ego.
Clearly, they should have ruled to get him back from ES.
