    That is specifically not what he said. He says he differs to the state department who won’t accept him because now they’re saying he’s a terrorist.

    This is Trump’s choice, not bukeles imposition.

      He could release him even if the US doesn’t want him back, but that would risk his black site contract

    Trump is going to send American citizens to a place where they can never return, even if sent by accident. The sky has fallen. Why did nobody listen?

    “How can I return him to the United States?” Bukele asked Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it."

    It’s good to know the people running the world have no fucking clue how the world runs.

      No, they know it would be easy, as if a prisoner release to a non-hostile is an eldritch incantation

      That quote was… holy shit! I mean just say this is the man wrongly deported and put him on a passenger flight. First class at the very least.

      Okay can we at least get him out of jail? Why bother answering if your answer will be so stupid.

        He answered that too. The quote above doesn’t do justice to the clip. Either how crazy or disgusting it is

    The US is paying El Salvador money to hold these people. Acting like there is nothing either can do is about as boldface a lie as there is. They can literally do anything they want and have control of both sides of any contracts.

    This is them saying “what are you going to do about it?” And what should happen is people need to keep the pressure on so Congress sides with the courts asap (and this guys’ Senator is flying there next week to see him personally).

    I’m kind of glad. I want the Supreme Court to realize sooner rather than later that Trump won’t listen to them and that they’re not his friend, just useful patsies.

    I’m sorry for all the people that are caught up in Trump’s bullshit. That guy is fucking evil.

      And then what? He will just ignore them, then stack the courts if not simply replace the SC judges. Who is going to stop him at this point? He got away with every single crime in his life, of which there are too many to count. He’s ignoring court orders and ruling by illegal executive orders. Nothing but an armed insurrection is going to stop him now.

      This ship has sailed and won’t change course without a mutiny.

      A lot of people are caught up in trumps bullshit because they are shitty people. Magats wanted this because they are selfish, idiotic monsters. Trump is the symptom and they’re the disease

    There is no way that these two didn’t talk about how to answer that question before the press event. This isn’t the president of El Salvador saying he doesn’t want to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, it’s him saying that he is on Trump’s side.

    It’s not el Salvador’s responsibility to transport him back to the US.

    I don’t think he is being stopped from leaving, but it’s up to the US to make it right, not El Salvador

      Other than the fact that he’s in a death camp, nothing is stopping him from walking home!

      What? He’s in a prison. Please correct me if I’m mistaken but generally “walking right on out” is like the one thing they get all weird about
