Trump: Deportees Are In “Sole Custody Of El Salvador”

Posted last night on Truth Social:

Looking forward to seeing President Bukele, of El Salvador, on Monday! Our Nations are working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations, and build a future of Prosperity.

President Bukele has graciously accepted into his Nation’s custody some of the most violent alien enemies of the World and, in particular, the United States.

These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign Nation, and their future is up to President B and his Government. They will never threaten or menace our Citizens again!

The Daily Beast reports:

The Trump administration is continuing to seemingly do everything it can to avoid securing the safe return of 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported to El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error”.

After declining to provide any information on how it would facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. on Friday, senior State Department official Michael G. Kozak signed a declaration on Saturday swearing that while Abrego Garcia was “alive and secure” in the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador, he is also “detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”

This is despite Trump stating on Friday that he had the power to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return, telling reporters on Air Force One, “If the Supreme Court said, ‘Bring somebody back,’ I would do that… I respect the Supreme Court.”

Is it a “constitutional crisis” yet?
