I really hope this story doesn't get ganged up on and flagged into oblivion.

A few key things to note in the decision

* The decision is unanimous with no dissents.

* This case is pretty atypical of the other cases involving people deported to Cecot(the El Salvadorian prison) in that the govt straight up admitted that they had deported this person in error

This case is almost certainly not indicative of the supreme court's thinking on the broader issue as the facts involved were very clear, and there are no real broad implications (regardless of what the govt asserted)

The case regarding the applicability of the Alien Enemies Act without the exigent circumstances of a war or genuine existential threat to the nation is the key case to watch.
