President Trump's meeting with El Salvador's President Bukele regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia incited controversy over whether Garcia, mistakenly deported and imprisoned, could be returned to the U.S. Bukele rejected the idea of returning a supposed 'terrorist,' emphasizing El Salvador's recent transformation from a murder capital to a safer country. He pointed out the impracticality of smuggling alleged criminals and criticized suggestions of releasing them. Critics highlighted a disconnect between claims of Garcia's dangerousness and a lack of evidence supporting such allegations, stirring further debate on the matter.
It's like if I smuggled him into the U.S., of course I'm not going to do it. It's, like, I mean, the question is preposterous.
We just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere, and you want us to go back to releasing criminals.
An absolutely ridiculous representation. Zero evidence Garcia is a 'terrorist'; in fact, there's no evidence he's ever even committed a crime or been accused of one.
