    “How can I return him to the United States?” Bukele asked Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it."

    It’s good to know the people running the world have no fucking clue how the world runs.

      No, they know it would be easy, as if a prisoner release to a non-hostile is an eldritch incantation

      That quote was… holy shit! I mean just say this is the man wrongly deported and put him on a passenger flight. First class at the very least.

    Trump is going to send American citizens to a place where they can never return, even if sent by accident. The sky has fallen. Why did nobody listen?

    I’m kind of glad. I want the Supreme Court to realize sooner rather than later that Trump won’t listen to them and that they’re not his friend, just useful patsies.

    I’m sorry for all the people that are caught up in Trump’s bullshit. That guy is fucking evil.

      And then what? He will just ignore them, then stack the courts if not simply replace the SC judges. Who is going to stop him at this point? He got away with every single crime in his life, of which there are too many to count. He’s ignoring court orders and ruling by illegal executive orders. Nothing but an armed insurrection is going to stop him now.

      This ship has sailed and won’t change course without a mutiny.

    There is no way that these two didn’t talk about how to answer that question before the press event. This isn’t the president of El Salvador saying he doesn’t want to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, it’s him saying that he is on Trump’s side.

    “I asked the hit man to not carry out what I ordered and he said no. But of course I’m still paying him. See how powerless I am?”

    That is specifically not what he said. He says he differs to the state department who won’t accept him because now they’re saying he’s a terrorist.

    This is Trump’s choice, not bukeles imposition.

      He could release him even if the US doesn’t want him back, but that would risk his black site contract

    Because trump paid them to murder these men. A satellite image of a mound of bloody bodies is being circulated online. They’re having masked right wing militants like the proud boys and oath keepers kidnap people shove them into unmarked cars and they are mass murdering them in El Salvador.

      That is the most single pointless genocide ever committed then. The nazis and zionist want(ed) to kill everyone because they want the land… but Trump and Americans gain absolutely nothing by killing these people. If anything they lose a lot since the overwhelming majority of these people were vital workers.

        You’re incorrect Hitler started his regime with the brown shirts SA committing widespread state sponsored domestic terrorism to stamp out any dissent

    It’s not el Salvador’s responsibility to transport him back to the US.

    I don’t think he is being stopped from leaving, but it’s up to the US to make it right, not El Salvador

    EDIT: it wasn’t clear from the article that he was being held in a prison. My bad on that.

    Absolutely should be released, but it is still not on El Salvador to send him to the US.

      What? He’s in a prison. Please correct me if I’m mistaken but generally “walking right on out” is like the one thing they get all weird about
