'Trump, Bukele Condemn Abrego Garcia to Prison On Live TV'
"The government has admitted that Abrego Garcia was wrongly removed. It's now flouting SCOTUS to keep him imprisoned."
"It defies a Supreme Court ruling, flouts a lower court ruling, and undermines the basic principle that the government must provide due process before depriving someone of their freedom. Yet the man wrongly deported to a Salvadoran prison will remain there indefinitely, President Donald Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele said during a Monday Oval Office meeting."
"The pair of strongmen told reporters they would not seek the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen deported from the U.S. last month during a hastily executed operation that also removed more than 100 Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act."
"Bukele and senior Trump officials indicated they felt no obligation to comply with court orders. Bukele suggested at one point he had received no U.S. request to release Abrego Garcia, saying that doing so would be to 'smuggle' him into the country. Trump advisor Stephen Miller argued the courts had no authority to compel the government to act in matters of foreign relations."
