So, I guess, if El Salvador decides to comply with the SCOTUS decision, the US has to provide a plane. Or maybe a bus. Seems like due process is purely voluntary at this point.
I just can't imagine being the guy who decides to litigate this as long as possible knowing they renditioned an innocent father.
