The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month to an El Salvador mega-prison.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang.
Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.
A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.
You don’t understand what a withholding order is. It prevents his return to El Salvador. It does not stop a deportation. If a third party agrees to take him; they can send him there.
Illegal immigrants should be deported. Since this man is tied to gangs, he should have been deported years ago
You got me. It’s taken me this long to realize you’re trolling. Good job.
I’m not trolling. You just don’t understand the law. It’s clearly in the court order. The courts have already determined he’s affiliated with ms-13. That is why he was given an order to prevent his return to El Salvador. If he’s not part of a gang we he’s claiming now then there is no reason not to send him to El Salvador. So either he’s a gang member and needs to be deported elsewhere or he’s not a gang member and he can stay in El Salvador.
We have laws for a reason and those who don’t fallow them should be deported.
