How about the men already mentioned who have been shipped off to El Salvador? Action taken, people imprisoned in a foreign country where they conveniently no longer have access to the rights (until recently) afforded to them by virtue of being in the US, no evidence of any crimes committed has come out, yet the punishment is already locked in.
It is still being litigated and I am confident the evidence will come out. And if there isn't any, there are procedures for dealing with that too.
What procedures? Both the administration and Judge Boasberg assert that the court has no jurisdiction over the prisoners in El Salvador. Now that they have been remanded to El Salvador the US doesn't have jurisdiction at all.
What evidence? The administration has lready said in court that they have no evidence some of the men committed any crimes.
What's still being litigated is if the administration will be able to send any more flights to El Salvador.
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?

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.
And right on que we have someone who the administration admits they wrongly sent, but also say the courts don't have the authority to bring him back:
Thanks for sharing, I actually just returned to share the same news. No one saw this coming huh?
