June 2020- new judge ruled deportation cannot be to El Salvador
February 2025 US declares MS-13 a terrorist organization
March 2025 - deported to El Salvador (US claims El Salvador was a mistake due to unawareness of June 2020 order)
April 4, 2025 - Federal Dist Ct orders US to “facilitate” and “effectuate” return to US
April 10, 2025 SCOTUS (9–0) orders US must “facilitate” Garcia’s return AND Judge must clarify effectuate with “due regard” to POTUS power over foreign affairs.
