President Donald Trump said on April 11 he will honor a Supreme Court order requiring the government to extract a Salvadoran citizen from his home country after the United States mistakenly deported him there.

When asked about the court ruling, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that.”
