El Salvador President Nayib Bukele could have placed poor Kilmar Abrego Garcia on the plane with him to Washington, thus ending this nightmare. Instead,
"President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele mocked US District Judge James Boasberg after two flights from the US carrying nearly between 250 and 300 Venezuelan and other gang members landed in El Salvador despite Boasberg's emergency order issued Saturday evening in a case brought by the ACLU to turn the planes around and return the gang members to the US." www.mediaite.com
Add Nayib Bukele to the Axis of Evil. Next, this POS will contract work out to an Israeli security firm.

Seems that way.
Homeland Security Secretary Noem visits the El Salvador prison
www.borderreport.com
... White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that about 261 people were deported on the flights, including 137 under the Alien Enemies Act.
Bukele opened the prison in 2023 as he made the Central American country's stark, harsh prisons a trademark of his fight against crime. The facility has eight sprawling pavilions and can hold up to 40,000 inmates. Each cell can fit 65 to 70 prisoners.
Prisoners can't have visitors. There are no workshops or educational programs. ...
During that time, some 84,000 people have been arrested, accused of gang ties and jailed, often without due process. ...
Thank goodness Congress is out of town, away, ladeedah for all of this week and next.
Otherwise, its members might have to start to get ready to begin to commence to dealing with ...
Oh, I dunno ...
The dictator down at the other end of Constitution Avenue, perhaps?
You know, the one who just smugly told SCOTUS in no uncertain go eff itself.
Not that the gawping GOPers who hold the keys to the HIill would ever really do anything.

@#11 ... he court didn't say he wasn't illegal, they said he shouldn't be deported to El Salvador because his former gang would kill him. ...
The Trump admin has stated in Court filings that it was a mistake to deport him.
Also, Mr Garcia was denied due process.
Trump admin must facilitate' return of man erroneously deported to El Salvador, Supreme Court says
www.politico.com
... The Supreme Court's decision is a significant rejection of the Trump administration's claim that it lacked any power -- and therefore could not be compelled -- to attempt to remedy its admitted error.
It also comes just days after the justices ruled that the administration must provide due process to other foreign nationals that President Donald Trump has sought to quickly deport using rarely invoked war powers. ...
The Supreme Court decisions were 9-0.

Trump thanks Bukele for prisons and tells Americans: You're next
www.thetimes.com
... "They're great facilities, very strong facilities, and they don't play games," Trump said. "I'd like to go a step further. I said it to Pam [Bondi, the attorney-general], I don't know what the laws are. We always have to obey the laws.
"But we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways, that hit elderly ladies on the back of the head with a baseball bat when they're not looking, that are absolute monsters. I'd like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country. But you'll have to be looking at the laws on that." ...
#53: Remarkable, next year America enters its 250th anniversary and the Trumpf junta is using the Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) when the courts can exercise the Constitutionally-enshrined Separation of Powers. Deputy Marshals must obey the commands of the USDJ in court, like holding someone in contempt of court: upload.wikimedia.org
The statement, "He entered this country illegally, He was denied asylum in 2019. Go back and come back the legal way," is only partially accurate and omits key context regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case.
**What is accurate:**
- **Entry:** Kilmar Abrego Garcia did enter the United States illegally around 2011[3][8][6].
- **Asylum Denial:** In 2019, an immigration judge denied his application for asylum because he did not file within the required one-year period after arrival[3][8].
**What is misleading or inaccurate:**
- **Legal Status Since 2019:** Although his asylum request was denied, the same immigration judge granted Garcia "withholding of removal" status in 2019[8][6]. This is a form of legal protection that allows someone to remain in the U.S. if they would likely face persecution or harm in their home country. This status made his presence in the U.S. legal, and he was issued a work permit. He lived and worked legally in Maryland from 2019 until his mistaken deportation in 2025[8][6].
- **Deportation Error:** Garcia was not deported as a routine consequence of his denied asylum. He was mistakenly deported in March 2025 despite the judge's order protecting him from removal to El Salvador[1][6][8]. The U.S. government has acknowledged this was an "administrative error"[1][6][8].
- **"Go back and come back the legal way":** This advice ignores the fact that Garcia was already granted legal protection to remain in the U.S. due to the risk of harm if returned to El Salvador. He was not simply someone without legal status; he was a legal resident under a specific immigration protection[8][6].
**Key Context**
- Garcia was never charged with a crime in the U.S. or El Salvador, despite government claims of gang affiliation, which his attorneys and a judge found unsubstantiated[3][8].
- He was married, had U.S. citizen children, and complied with all legal requirements during his protected status[8].
- The Supreme Court ordered the U.S. government to facilitate his return after the wrongful deportation[1][3][4][5].
**Conclusion**
The statement omits the crucial fact that Garcia was legally protected from deportation and was only sent to El Salvador due to a government mistake, not because he had no legal right to remain in the U.S. after 2019[8][6][1].
