'A lot of loopholes' in Supreme Court Trump smack-down: legal expert

Reacting to the Supreme Court's stunning ruling that Donald Trump's administration must "facilitate" the return of a Maryland father who was mistakenly shipped off to a prison in El Salvador, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos stated the devil is in the details.

Speaking with "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough, the attorney admitted he was just as surprised as anyone that the conservative-leaning court ruled unanimously in favor of the family of 29-year-old Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, but also pointed out that the ruling left some "wiggle room" for the anti-immigrant Trump DOJ.

'What is this, group therapy?' MSNBC's Maddow mocks Supreme Court's 'squishy' ruling

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow tore into the Supreme Court on her show late Thursday over its confusing — and tepid — order that the Trump administration try to "facilitate" a wrongfully deported migrant's return to the United States.

'That's nuts': Ex-Bush official smacks down Trump DOJ's wild response to Supreme Court

A former official in George W. Bush's administration knocked the Justice Department over its response to a Supreme Court ruling that ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return of a migrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador.

The conservative-leaning high court ruled that a lower court correctly ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release from custody from a notoriously brutal Salvadoran megaprison and to "ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador."

Trump poised for another court blow in new mass deportation scheme

A federal judge in Boston has signaled she is likely to block President Donald Trump's plan to deport thousands of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants granted protected status in the United States, reported the Miami Herald on Thursday.

Per the report, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, stated "that her decision will allow the paroled migrants to stay in the United States as they pursue immigration benefits. In effect, it will prevent the Department of Homeland Security from revoking their parole status as part of an administration plan to end the humanitarian program on April 24."
