'Releasing wrongly deported man "preposterous," El Salvadoran president says'

[Joinfortmill]

'El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Monday he can't return a mistakenly deported Maryland resident and Salvadorian national to the U.S.

Why it matters: The U.S. government accused Kilmar Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-13, but he has not been convicted of gang-related crimes. The Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return.

"The question is preposterous," Bukele said during a press conference with President Trump. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States."
Bukele also said he would not release him into El Salvador.

Zoom in: Attorney General Pam Bondi said it was up to El Salvador to return Abrego Garcia.

"If they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it," she said, "meaning provide a plane."


My words: I think they killed him. May these monsters rot in hell, but first let them face justice in the International Criminal Courts in the Hague. RESIST.
EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP OWNS THIS.

1. We need proof of life.

2. Sadly, that should be ordered by the judge. I really don't get why they don't just return the guy to make this go away.

6. Because he's injured or dead AND/OR because Mump wants to show that the SC has no power.

10. It's all about creating a constitutional crisis challenging the supremacy of the Supreme Court.

Why do you think the conservatives on the Supreme Court would have voted to return Garcia?

The final leg to fall is the courts. Then our government becomes complete executive supremacy; dictatorship, authoritarian control, one supreme leader…..

11. Or he can testify to horrible treatment

They are clearly trying to hide something.

They seem more than willing to let him be a martyr rather than a survivor who can speak the truth.

The only way it makes sense is if the truth hurts them more than the myth.

3. I agree with nature-lover and Joinfortmill.

[Ilsa]

4. We need an onslaught of "He's dead," as an explanation

of why trump, noem, etc, are doing nothing. Force them to prove he's alive and accessible.

[Scrivener7]

5. So the El Salvador President is now dictating to the US President.

We should be framing this as Mump weakness and inability to influence other countries.

7. F47's going full Palpatine

You never go full Palpatine!

8. The diplomatic deals that created this system needs exposure

Many moving parts.

9. If every leader is so

fucking afraid of trump he should demand he be returned within 24 hrs. or face severe consequences. But trump is a weak prick. trump, Bondi , Cosplay Barbie and Homan should be arrested for human rights crimes and contempt of the Supreme Court. If our law makers can't make it happen then the world court should intervene.

12. Is it true that Bukele has boasted about being the biggest current dictator? (He looks like a

mouse.)

[bsiebs]

16. I believe he has called himself "the world's coolest dictator"

For now nothing seems to make a dent in the high popularity of the president who on his Twitter account describes himself as “the world’s coolest dictator”.

13. Trump is WEAK.

He can't even get El Salvador to do what he wants. Release one wimp from prison? Should be easy for any "President" who knows what they are doing. Especially from a little "shithole country" no one has ever been to!



if it wasn't obvious

14. Pure Evil

There is nothing preposterous about undoing a mistake. Of course none of them are there legally in the first place.

15. Called both my FL senators this a.m. They're not answering their phones so left a message. If you

don't see my posts here anymore....

17. What's preposterous are the regimes that kidnap and disappear people. n/t
