Bringing him back, so that ICE could follow the correct process to re-deport him would be embarrassing to ICE
Seems more embarrassing to your faction. "Look at this pointless waste of time and resources that we had to do because Other Team only cares about abusing the rules to help illegal alien gang members."
Do you really think this would generally serve to increase respect for norms around due process?

Even the government concedes Abrego Garcia's deportation was entirely unlawful.
Do they? AIUI, there was a hold on deporting him to El Salvador specifically, and for specific reasons, and that the law granting that authority had a clause allowing it to be waived for a significant change in circumstances. And his specific pitch was "You can't send me back there because this specific gang will torture me to apply pressure to my mother's business", and his mother no longer owns the business and Bukele deleted the gang.
It seemed more like "There was a paperwork mixup, but we can justify it if we have to".

I was very good friends with a girl who was a die hard, life-long Democrat. Like, door-to-door campaigning in middle school, joking about how much she'd like to be Bill Clinton's intern in the mid-00s, etc. I went to college with her and she spent her days preparing to be Leslie Knope and tangling with [famous conservative firebrand]. Her first real job in politics was somehow as an intern for a red state Republican senator, and she came back absolutely gushing about him. They had fun chats and he gave her a cute pet name and everything!
I was just flabbergasted. "Senator [recognizable name]? Neocon, evangelical fundamentalist, anti-gay, anti-abortion, Iraq War-supporting Senator [recognizable name]? I'm not mixing him up with some other Senator [recognizable name]?"
And she'd just cheerfully go "Yeah, him! Great guy."
Voice of Saurman is a solid analogy.

Medicare fraud is extremely common. There are entire companies that just ship wildly expensive, random "medical equipment" (which is usually some kind of actual equipment, like a back brace or something) to old people and charge it to Medicare on their behalf, and then just see if the octogenarians can figure out how to file a return through their Byzantine phone trees or website.
Until he makes any kind of effort at doing so, this seems much more likely to be a cruel taunt. Trump is much more understandable once you grasp that he's essentially a right-wing John Oliver type, but less stupid.
