Attorney General Bondi says Supreme Court's ruling on wrongly deported man was win for the administration
From CNN's Piper Hudspeth Blackburn
Attorney General Pam Bondi said tonight that
the Supreme Court’s ruling ordering the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, was “a win.”
“What the court also said was that these district judges do not have the right to interfere with the executive branch’s ability to conduct foreign affairs,” she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters. “What they also said is just ‘facilitate.’ Meaning, if he wanted a plane flight, we could give him a plane flight, but we cannot effectuate it, meaning making it happen, which is what the district court had originally ruled it was. It was a win.”
In its ruling, the Supreme Court said that a lower court judge had properly instructed the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return but said the earlier directive was unclear and needed clarification. The clarification, the high court said, needed to be made with “due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.”
Bondi added that “but for an extra step in paperwork,” Abrego Garcia would “go right back” to El Salvador, his “home country.”
“And President (Nayib) Bukele does not want to give him back to the United States, nor do we want him back,” she continued.
