CNN anchor Jake Tapper scrutinized claims made by Trump officials concerning the indefinite imprisonment of a migrant in El Salvador, following a Supreme Court ruling. Tapper highlighted that while the officials claimed the migrant was a member of MS-13 and illegally in the U.S., his attorneys argue he was fleeing gang violence. Tapper pointed out that evidence of his gang affiliation was weak, as it relied on a police opinion and circumstantial details, and noted that he had been granted protective status by an immigration judge allowing him to remain in the U.S.
"It is true that Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, and it is true that he entered the United States illegally sometime around 2011."
"As for the allegation that he's a member of MS-13, which he fervently denies, well, the evidence of that is much more flimsy."
