The article details a press conference where White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced tough questions regarding the administration's handling of a migrant mistakenly sent to El Salvador and President Trump's suggestion of sending American citizens to prison there. Leavitt insisted that the administration complies with all court orders, despite concerns about potential contempt of court allegations. The discourse also highlighted a lack of firm evidence against the migrant, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom Leavitt asserted was linked to MS-13 criminal activity, underlining the administration's position amidst growing scrutiny.
Leavitt emphasized the administration's compliance with court orders: 'We are complying with all court orders... We are confident that every action taken by this administration is within the confines of the law.'
When pressed about the legal basis for sending U.S. citizens to El Salvador, Leavitt noted, 'We're looking at it, and when I have more for you to share, I certainly will.'
In a heated exchange, Leavitt defended the administration's stance on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, claiming he is an MS-13 member despite a lack of court conviction: 'The evidence against Abrego Garcia consisted of nothing more than his Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie.'
