Jonathan Turley on Abrego Garcia’s Case: The Supreme Court Said ‘You Have to Facilitate’ But They Didn’t Define What that Means

‘At the same time the deference that the judge has shown to the executive branch has not been robust’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

TURLEY: "The Trump administration is adopting a pretty artificially narrow interpretation. They're saying that if they bring him to our doorstep, we have to open the door. The District Court clearly disagrees and basically said, 'I feel un-facilitated.' Well, this is the problem with what the Supreme Court did. You can get a unanimous decision if no one can agree what you said, and they said, 'You have to facilitate,' but they didn’t define what that means. At the same time, the deference that the judge has shown to the executive branch has not been robust, and the Trump Administration is saying, 'Look, they clearly said that we have a foreign policy prerogative here, and you cannot force us to bring an El Salvadoran who's in El Salvadoran prison back to the United States unless El Salvador agrees, and they don’t.'"
