Beyond vital political stakes, it also looks like admin misread the narrative, too. They tried to pitch “MS-13 illegal” and assumed story would end there.
Instead it’s become a daily, episodic, human-interest and court drama about a wrongfully deported loving husband, union-member and caregiver.

The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

This is a First Amendment question combined with a practical question. The answer is as follows.
