During a recent White House meeting, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele firmly stated he would not assist in returning Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man wrongly deported to El Salvador, where he faces potential dangers. Bukele characterized the act of returning Garcia as akin to smuggling a terrorist into the U.S. His comments, made in front of President Trump, highlight the ongoing legal battle surrounding Garcia's deportation. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling to facilitate Garcia's return, Trump has ignored the order, emphasizing the contentious relationship regarding immigration policies between the U.S. and El Salvador.
Of course I'm not going to do it, Bukele said when reporters asked if he was willing to help return the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
This meeting is one of the starkest examples of a foreign leader fawning over and placating Trump during a visit to the Oval Office, said Zolan Kanno-Youngs.
