The Trump administration suffered a setback in a closely watched immigration case Thursday, as the US Supreme Court ordered it to “facilitate” the return of a wrongly deported Salvadoran migrant.

The move by the Social Security Administration essentially cancels an immigrant’s Social Security number and classifies them as dead.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s story begins in El Salvador. But it’s become increasingly unclear where it will end.

The Trump administration aims to convince some immigrants without legal status to self-deport by adding them to a database of dead people, thus rendering their Social Security numbers inoperable, an administration official told Reuters.

An executive from Spain, his wife and three children died in the crash, along with the helicopter’s pilot, officials said.
