As the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on the application of the Alien Enemies Act, insights reveal complexities behind the U.S.-El Salvador cooperation, including President Bukele's reservations about accepting non-convicted migrants. This situation represents a significant legal and humanitarian challenge in immigration policy.
