At a meeting of an oval office with President Trump on Monday, President Nayb Bokil from El Salvador said that he would not return a man from Maryland’s state that was wrongly deported from the United States and sent to the notorious Salvadori prison.
Mr. Bukele, who placed himself as a major ally of Mr. Trump, sat partially by opening his country’s prisons to the president, next to the president and a group of cabinet officials who struck a combat tone on the case, which reached the Supreme Court.
When he asked the reporters if he was ready to help return the man, Kilmar Armando Abergu Garcia, a 29 -year -old father for three years, was deported last month: “Of course I will not do it,” said Mr. Boucley, when he asked the reporters if he was ready to help return the man, Kilmar Armando Abergo Garcia, a 29 -year -old father for three years. The Trump administration approved that his deportation was the result of an “administrative error”.
The message from the meeting was clear: Mr. Trump nor Mr. Bokil had no intention to return Mr. Abro Garcia, although the Supreme Court ruled that he should return to the United States. The case has become a symbol of Mr. Trump’s challenge to the courts and his willingness to deport people without due legal procedures.
Mr. Trump also thought about the possibility of sending two American citizens who were convicted of violent crimes to prison in El Salvador, although he said that the Prosecutor Pam Bondi was still studying the legitimacy of the proposal.
Mr. Trump said: “If he is a local criminal, I have no problem, no.” “I am talking about violent people. I am talking about really bad people.”
Before allowing the full group of correspondents to enter the Oval Office for the meeting, TV cameras captured Mr. Trump, telling Mr. Bokley to build more prisons.
Mr. Trump invited some of the senior officials to the Monday meeting, many of which were held in front of the news cameras. Mrs. Bondi and Stephen Miller, an engineer of immigration agenda for Mr. Trump, accused Mr. Alago Garcia as a member of the MS-13 gang.
Mr. Abrego Garcia has not been accused or convicted of a gang. In 2011, the lawyers of Mr. Abo Garcia say he fled the threats and violence in El Salvador and illegally came to the United States to join his brother, an American citizen, in Maryland. He married later an American citizen. In 2019, the immigration judge prevented the United States from deporting him to El Salvador, saying that he might face violence or torture there.
Mr. Abo Garcia’s lawyers did not immediately respond to the comment requests.
“This is up to El Salvador if they want to return it,” said Ms. Bondi. “This does not mean to us.” Mr. Miller went further, on the pretext that a federal judge has exceeded the administration’s directing to provide a road map for the return of Mr. Abjo Garcia. He said: “No one can explain anyone from the Foreign Minister or the President forcibly to Al-Salvador from El Salvador, who is once considered a member of MS-13.”
Mr. Bokley continued his example, saying that the return of Mr. Abugo Garcia would be closer to the smuggling of a “terrorist in the United States.” The President of El Salvadori, Mr. Trump, also spoke surrounded by the cabinet members who spoke to support the president on a braid, smiled with consent.
On Monday evening, more than an hour after the deadline requested by the judge, the Ministry of Justice submitted its daily update, which clarifies the steps it took to return Mr. Abo Garcia to the United States. He echoed many rebel notes made by administration officials at the Oval Office.
Actor Hakeem Jeffries from New York, Democrats in the House of Representatives, called on the courts to retain the Trump administration officials in contempt.
“The Supreme Court and/or the Federal Provincial Court actually need the enforcement of its matter,” said Mr. Jeffrez on MSNBC, indicating that crowded martyrdom can be directed to state and internal security secretariats, as well as its subordinates.
The wife of Mr. Alago Garcia, Jennifer Vasquez, said that American and El Salvadorian governments play “political games” with her husband’s life.
She said: “My heart is heavy, but I stick to hope and strength around me.”
“The government can disappear to a foreign country without any legal process and there is no responsibility for what is happening after that” to “the crisis of law.”
“If the government can do this to Abyerigo Garcia, they can do this to anyone,” said Mr. Vladik.
In Mr. Bukele, Mr. Trump found a partner in his efforts to force dozens of immigrants to Al -Salvaduri prison and keep them there with a little interest in checks and balances.
Last week, the Supreme Court ordered the administration to “facilitate” the return of Mr. Abro Garcia, but it did not specify the specified steps that US officials must take to implement the plan. On Monday, Mrs. Bondi argued that the court’s ruling means that the United States will need to help the return of Mr. Alago Garcia – such as providing a plane – only if Mr. Bokil decides to return him to the United States.
Mr. Vladik said: “The court gave the administration an opening and the administration took an opening on a millimeter and paid a Mack truck through it.”
Michael C. said. Kozak, the official of the first office in the Western Foreign Football Association Office, in a statement that was swore on Saturday that, based on information from the American embassy in San Salvador, Mr. Abigo Garcia is “alive and safe” in prison known as the Terrorism Center, or CECOT.
In a legal file on Sunday, The Ministry of Justice also argued The courts lack the ability to dictate the steps that the White House must take to restore Mr. Alago Garcia because the president alone has the ability to deal with American foreign policy.
The Trump administration has acquired the power of war for centuries to deport immigrants to El Salvador by claiming that they are members of violent gangs such as MS-13, which originated in the United States and operating in South America, and the Venezuelan criminal group Treen de Aragoa.
The law, the Law of Foreign Enemies of 1798, allows the deportation of a summary of people from countries in the war with the United States.
While some of the deportees have criminal convictions, the court papers showed that the evidence that the government relied on to name some of the gang members was more often more than tattoo or clothing associated with a criminal organization.
Although the administration resisted the assistance of Mr. Alago Garcia, Senator Chris van Holin, Democrat Maryland, said on Monday that he wanted to discuss him with Mr. Boucley, who repeats the Silvadori immigrant. He added that he would travel to El Salvador this week if Mr. Abjjo Garcia is not returned.
The Trump administration doubled on the prison agreement with Mr. Bokley on Sunday when it announced that it had it Send 10 other people They are alleged to be members of the gangs to El Salvador during the weekend.
Mr. Bukele found a place on the world stage by opening the doors of his prison system for Mr. Trump.
The Biden Administration for Mr. Bokley, who referred to himself as the “most wonderful dictator” in the world, dealt with a bell. Under the previous administration, the Ministry of Justice accused Mr. Bokley and the Salvadorian government of being easily easily towards some gang leaders. Mr. Trump appears to admire Mr. Boucley as a Maga reward in Latin America, he will not hesitate to defend his local agenda.
Sometimes on Monday, Mr. Bukele and Mr. Trump separated from discussing immigration to show that they were aligned in the criticism of politicians who supported allowing sexually transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.
Mr. Bukele also joined how his employees do not include “Dei HIRES”.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Pakul have paired their difficult characters in the crime High -excitement public relations campaigns On social media.
After an increase in gang violence in El Salvador, Mr. Bokley imposed a state of emergency, which has not yet been lifted, and the police and military forces have ordered the implementation of mass arrests. Many 85000 Salvadori Those who were arrested disappeared in the prison system without trial and without knowing their families if they were alive.
“The United States must gather in the responsibility of the government of the Popular for these dangerous violations, but instead, the Trump administration and copying the authoritarian playing book to Bouqueli – did not link people without any evidence, rejects them with any legal procedures and their disappearance in the call group for the first time.
However, the popularity of Mr. Bokali increased, and he was re -elected to the collapse of my land last year, as his government reported a decrease in a violent crime. Last week, the Trump administration changed a travel consultant to El Salvador, saying that he was effectively more safe to visit than countries such as France or the United Kingdom.
The Trump administration has cited the progress in El Salvador in the leadership of gang violence over the past three years, although the Ministry of Justice previously accused Mr. Bokley of rid it of gang members in exchange for maintaining the numbers of killing.
Mr. Bukele described the social media decision as closer to receiving a “golden star”.
