The question isn’t whether a federal court can order the Salvadoran government to release Garcia; it can’t.
It’s whether the U.S. government has the ability to secure Garcia’s release. If so, then it can be ordered to do so, because then Garcia is in the “constructive” custody of the United States.

It sure looks like they’re going all in on the “the executive branch can ignore court orders if it thinks the court lacks jurisdiction” thing

Abu Ali claimed that the Saudi government was only holding him because we had asked it to do so. Bates held that he had jurisdiction to find out if that was true—and to order Abu Ali’s release if so:

The court needs a way to “encourage” the admin to follow through on orders. Jail time for contempt is one thing. When homeboy comes back, Ms Bondi, #barbieofthebar, you shall be released.

That means they have some way of extracting them.
That is our Salvadorian prison.
We need that prisoner released.
#Garcia
SO HOLD ALL FUNDS - until they release him
Obviously that requires someone with a spine - a challenge these days
At least I'd be interested in seeing what the admin does in the face of that.
So much money that they can literally buy their own release from El Salvador's authorities, which I imagine as being 'not insensitive' to this kind of argument😎💰💰💰
This administration is so full of themselves... for absolutely NO REASON!
She couldn't do this job without a script written for her daily - Bobblehead #1!
There’s no reason this man is treated as less than that.
Demand Action!
also trump: 🥺
Of course they can

Trump gov has no interest in helping in this. Surprised they even admitted it was a mistake.
Good times...
I’d sure like to see the paperwork relevant to the gov’t cutting a $6m check to El Salvador.
All they have to do is call them tell them they made a mistake and let them know when he will be picked up.
Though, in reality, no one should be in that prison. I still can't figure out on that authority it's happening.
A simple Head of State to Head of State phone call and he's out.
"El Salvador’s justice minister has stated that prisoners at CECOT will never be reintegrated into society."
This is not American.
and it must stop illegally deporting people without due process to prison camps
But now that it's a legal order, it becomes a matter of pride, and they will just dig in.
That poor man is gonna die in prison.
If so, I cannot think of a single colorable argument that we don't have the right to bring them back as this is an ongoing transaction.

The only question average Americans have is
'where is the enforcement!?'
What we're lacking – or at least Trump is lacking – is the impetus. Maybe a few more days of global financial chaos will help?
The power that doesn't '... come out of the end of a gun' (Hitler) comes out of a wallet!
The federal government's @PressSec is telling us that America is now officially impotent
They are known criminals.
Best thing to do is remain calm.
Contact your lawyer.
Then put bullets in all those gestopo motherfuckers heads.
Geez.
Send Marco Rubio’s pathetic ass over there to get him and the rest of them back. Simple.
sorry, my hands are tied, you did the crime, now you either reverse it, or do the time
Can’t legislate morality. We have an AMORAL administration.
Nothing short of physical force or for the greedy, the “loss of their situation” to paraphrase Dickens, will make them obey the law.
The House is AWOL so don’t look to them for help. Easy to break, hard to mend
JFC WHY can’t ONE PERSON in this administration do the right thing just because it’s the the right and moral thing to do?!?!
