(Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court has denied the U.S. Justice Department's request to prevent a lower court from probing whether the Trump administration complied with an order to return a man wrongly deported to El Salvador, court records showed on Thursday.

The appeals court also denied the Justice Department's request to halt an order requiring it to "facilitate" the man's return.
