Now that they have been remanded to El Salvador the US doesn't have jurisdiction at all.
The latest is because the US government is paying El Salvador $6 million dollars to keep these men incarcerated, the US essentially has jurisdiction over them.
Also, because some women were included by mistake, they had to be flown back to the US… so we know the US government could have them returned to the US if they wanted to.

What's the basis for how this works legally? Would the US no longer have commitments if the deal was done for free? > Also, because some women were included by mistake, they had to be flown back to the US… so we know the US government could have them returned to the US if they wanted to. Were they returned by request of the US? And does that mean that the US has to follow certain procedures as if those people were still under their jurisdiction? It seems more likely that El Salvador rejected them because their prison is only for men.
