El Salvador's President Refused Trump Admin Request Inquiring About Releasing Abrego Garcia: New York Times Reports
Briefly

El Salvador has reportedly declined a U.S. diplomatic request to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a migrant mistakenly deported to a megaprison. The White House inquiry followed a Supreme Court ruling mandating Garcia's return. However, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele rejected the request, creating uncertainty around the U.S. intention behind the inquiry. Garcia, who lived in Maryland for over ten years, has been labeled an MS-13 gang member despite no convictions, raising questions about the administration’s adherence to legal protocols and the Supreme Court's directives.
The illegal migrant was living in Maryland for more than a decade, and the administration continues to insist he is a member of the MS-13 gang.
It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
Some legal experts suggested that the sequence of events could have been an attempt at window dressing by officials seeking to give the appearance of being in compliance with the recent Supreme Court ruling.
Trump has remained defiant on the issue, claiming the Supreme Court ruling doesn't actually mean he needs to return Garcia.
