The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, said Monday that he does not have the ability to return a Maryland man deported to the Central American country back to the United States despite a ruling of the supreme courtesy that directs the Trump administration to recover “his return.
“I hope they are not suggestions to smuggled terrorists to the United States,” Bukele told journalists while sitting next to President Trump in the Oval office. “Or of course, I’m not going to do it.
“The question is absurd,” Bukele added. “I don’t have the power to return it to the United States.”
Kilmar Abrego García was sent last month to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) notoriously brutal and overcrowd along with some 260 gang members suspended under the alien alien enemy law of the 18th century.
The Trump administration states that Abrego García illegally entered the country in 2011, something that two courts have also previously affirmed.
But a previous court order of 2019 of an immigration judge restricted the government to deport Abrego García to El Salvador due to the concerns that he could face the persecution of groups such as the Barrio 18 gang.
The lawyers of the Department of Justice admitted in judicial documents that the deportation of Abrego García was due to “administrative error” and a “clerical error”.
Since then, the White House Cabinet Deputy Director Stephen Miller blamed the DOJ lawyers for making such admission to the court.
“That is a great fact that all of you, most of you, are wrong,” Miller told reporters before Bukele’s meeting on Monday. “No one was sent by mistake anywhere.”
“The only mistake that was made is a [Justice Department] The lawyer put an incorrect line in a legal presentation [and has] Since he was relieved, “he said.”[Abrego Garcia] It is an illegal foreigner. He was deported to El Salvador. “
Last week, the Supreme Court determined in a 9-0 ruling that said an order of the lower court that gave the Trump administration a deadline last Monday to return Abrego García to the United States.
In that order, the Superior Court ordered the Administration to “facilitate” the liberation of Abrego García de la Custody in El Salvador and ensure that his case is handled, since he would have bone, he does not lose incorrectly to El Salvador. “
The Supreme Court also ruled that the lower courts must show “degence oed to the Executive Branch in foreign affairs conduct.”
On Sunday, in judicial documents, the Trump administration argued that the Supreme Court ruling does not mean that the United States is Bond El Salvador for the release of Abrego García.
“Take” all the notable steps to facilitate “the return of Abrego García reads, better to take all the steps of Av Byrile to eliminate any domestic obstacle that others are to prevent the ability of abroad to return here,” write the lawyers of the DOJ.
“In fact, no other” facilitating “reading is a constitutional, hey.”
Trump said previously: “If the Supreme Court said to bring someone back, he would” and respect the Superior Court. On Sunday, he clarified that the 260 deported people “are now under the exclusive custody of El Salvador.”
Bukele is the first Latin American leader to score a visit from the White House with Durable Trump in his second term.
Trump and Bukele showed a duration of a friendly relationship relationship at the meeting, and the president’s team defended the Salvadoran leader of the Paula Xinis district judge for the return of Abrego García.
“First of all, he was illegally in our country,” said United States Attorney, Pam Bondi, journalists about Abrego García on Monday. “That depends on El Salvador. If you want to return it. That doesn’t depend on us.”
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, reiterated in a similar way that “the foreign policy of the United States is carried out by the president of the United States, not by a court.”
“That’s where I sports people, back to their country of origin,” Hey argued.
