The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Welp they're doing the Roosevelt Reservation crazy strategy, giving the military "jurisdiction" over a 60-foot-wide stretch of land from CA to AZ, authorizing troops to detain migrants for "trespassing on military property," thus trying to bypass the Posse Commitatus Act. It's bad and dumb, folks.
