He had an active deportation order, that only prevented him from being deported to El Salvador.

Had they just dropped him in a village in some Al-Shabab controlled hell-hole in Somalia we'd never even be hearing this story. The whole thing was an exercise in hubris for no apparent reason.

They had to make up reasons to bring him back because they messed up by sending him to the one place he wasn't allowed to go.

But now they can do what they always could have, send him anywhere else.

By bringing him back, his asylum claim timer is reset though. Last time he applied too late and was denied on that basis. I believe he will claim it again, this time less than 1 year from entry.
