Trapped Abroad: The Man at the Center of a Constitutional Standoff


Listen Later

When President Trump met with El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, at the White House, the fate of one man was hanging in the balance.

Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court, discusses the Maryland man who was mistakenly sent to a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador, and what his case means for the limits of presidential power and the rule of law.

Guest: Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court and writes Sidebar, a column on legal developments, for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

  • The Supreme Court sided with the wrongly deported man.
  • El Salvador’s leader said on Monday that he would not return the man.
