SCOTUS ordered the government to remove him from El Salvador and
ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
That requires his return.
No it doesn’t. It just means they can send him elsewhere. The courts have already said this is true.
The courts haven't even issued a deportation order. The only court order relevant to Garcia is the withholding order in 2019, which should habe kept him in the US. There is no deportation order. He was not deported. He was sent to El Salvador under an illegal use of the Alien Enemies act, not a deportation order.
The courts have not said that he could be sent anywhere else. Attempting to send him anywhere else violates US and International law, as well as human rights. The only place the US can send him is Maryland.
Every day he is not in Maryland, the US government is going to be paying him damages. A lot of damages. He and his family are going to get rich off of this. How much are you going to pay him?
Deportation order was already issued. You keep thinking the order prevented deportation. It doesn’t. It prevents deportation to El Salvador.
There was no deportation order.
Not in 2019. Not in 2025. This is factually untrue.
ICE initiated proceedings in 2019, but no deportation order ever arose from those proceedings. The conclusion of those proceedings was the withholding order, not a deportation order.
lol. Yes it did. Many you don’t know the laws at all. You can’t have a withholding order without a deportation order. The two are intertwined.
If they want to deport him to somewhere other than El Salvador, they will have to restart the 2019 proceedings again. They will have to get a fresh order specifying the new country. Which they can't get because it's a human rights violation, and a violation of the 8th Amendment.
There is no order that allows what you are talking about. There is no valid order allowing for him to be taken anywhere but Maryland.
If they want to start proceedings to deport him to some other nation (assuming there is a third nation to which he has some sort of legal ties), they have to start over as if he had never been sent to El Salvador.
That is false. If you’d read the court ruling you’d know that’s false. The only issue is that he was sent to El Salvador. As of yet, nobody else has agreed to take him and nobody has asked.
Most likely they’ll return him to the United States and he will stay in prison here or they’ll ship him to gitmo.
The court did not rule on that issue. You're not getting that from the court. You're getting that from the Trump administration. Specifically, from Trump's Chief of Staff, misrepresenting the issue to the press.

Yes, under U.S. immigration law, Kilmar Abrego Garcia could legally be deported to a country other than El Salvador, provided that country agrees to accept him. This is because his “withholding of removal” status specifically prohibits deportation to El Salvador due to the risk of persecution there, but it does not prevent removal to other nations.
However, in Garcia’s case, the U.S. government has not identified any third country willing to accept him, nor has it pursued such an option. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March 2025, despite the legal prohibition against doing so. This action was later acknowledged by the U.S. government as an “administrative error.” 
Following his deportation, Garcia has been detained in El Salvador’s Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), a maximum-security prison. Despite a U.S. Supreme Court order directing the government to facilitate his return, both U.S. and Salvadoran authorities have yet to act on this directive. 
In summary, while it’s legally permissible to deport Garcia to a third country other than El Salvador, such an action would require that country’s agreement to accept him, which has not occurred in this case
