The Trump administration insisted on Sunday that it is not required to work with officials in El Salvador to secure the return of a man mistakenly deported to the country, days after the Supreme Court endorsed a federal judge’s directive that US officials must “facilitate” bringing him back stateside.

In a filing on Saturday, the U.S. State Department, however, did not address a judge's demands that the Trump administration detail what steps it is taking to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
