CNN Legal Expert Shuts Down Media’s Latest Trump Hoax: ‘They Didn’t Do That’

Even CNN is pushing back on claims that President Trump is defying a Supreme Court ruling in the high-profile deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

On Tuesday, CNN’s Chief Legal Correspondent Paula Reid appeared on air with Jake Tapper to clarify the court’s position, following mounting media accusations that the Trump administration is openly ignoring a Supreme Court order. But according to Reid, that narrative doesn’t hold up.

“They did not order the administration to return him to the United States,” Reid stated bluntly. “They said that they need to facilitate this return. They could have said, ‘We order him returned,’ but they didn’t do that.”

The segment quickly gained traction online, as Reid appeared to dismantle the media’s latest hoax—the suggestion that the administration is in violation of a Supreme Court ruling. “They’re working within the ambiguity that the Supreme Court justices gave them,” she added, calling the court’s language “mushy.”

Tapper pressed the issue, noting the Court had ruled in favor of Abrego Garcia and used language suggesting the administration must assist in his return. But Reid was clear: the administration is not out of bounds legally.

The US Supreme Court has absolutely no jurisdiction over the El Salvadoran government.

Which is good for El Salvador.

Trump can say hey we asked Bukele nicely, but he said he declined to acquiesce to our request.
