The White House had been resisting a US Supreme Court order from April to "facilitate" his return after he was sent to a mega-jail in El Salvador alongside more than 250 other deportees.

We can all keep wondering unless the Trump administration offers such deportees due process so that the legal system can vet their identities and the reasons for seizing and imprisoning them.

Earlier, a lawyer for the Justice Department confirmed the aircraft carrying the deportees had landed but did not say where, citing "very serious operational and safety concerns", as reported by Reuters.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has repeatedly hinted at stripping all would-be deportees of due process and the ability to challenge their detentions.

Bukele, a close ally of President Trump, who this year sent hundreds of U.S. deportees to be housed in a Salvadoran prison, has ramped up his attacks on critics in recent weeks.
