During a meeting at the White House, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele stated his refusal to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man wrongly deported to El Salvador, labeling the act akin to smuggling a terrorist. Bukele's statement came amidst a legal battle that has reached the Supreme Court, where the Trump administration acknowledged the deportation was due to an error yet has not complied with court orders. This interaction exemplifies the dynamic of foreign leaders accommodating Trump.
The deportation case is at the heart of a legal battle that has gone to the Supreme Court.
Bukele said returning Abrego Garcia would be like smuggling a terrorist into the United States.
This meeting is one of the starkest examples of a foreign leader fawning over and placating Trump during a visit to the Oval Office.
The Trump administration has said that the deportation was an administrative error, and has been ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return.
