• He still faces U.S. charges including human smuggling, with a trial scheduled for January 27, 2026.
• He was wrongly flown to El Salvador in March and held in the CECOT prison, an episode the government called an administrative error that heightened scrutiny of the administration’s deportation practices and contested claims about MS‑13 ties.
