The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 7-2 to further enjoin the government from summarily deporting alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. The government didn’t give enough notice and the 5th Circuit erred in refusing to provide relief, the justices concluded.
