Maryland’s man erroneously deported a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador last month, challenging a court order, he is still alive, the Trump administration confirmed on Saturday.
Kimar Abrego García remains in the Center for Confinement of Terrorism of El Salvador (CECOT) for now, in the middle of an order of the Supreme Court that orders the Trump administration to “facilitate” his statement, an official of the Department of Intestate State in a judicial presentation.
“He is alive and sure in that installation. He is detained in accordance with the sovereign domestic authority of El Salvador,” Michael Kozak, a senior state department official, witnessed in a judicial presentation.
Meanwhile, despite saying that he intends to adhere to the order of the Supreme Court last Thursday to facilitate the return of Abrego García, President Trump emphasized Saturday night that El Salvador has “exclusive custody” or migrants presented themselves.
“These barbarians are now under the exclusive custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign nation, and their future depends on President B and his government,” Trump wrote on Truth’s social Saturday, referring to the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.
“They will never threaten or threaten our citizens!”
Trump will meet Bukele on Monday.
Abrego García was among the almost 260 individuals that the Trump administration flew to El Salvador last month, whom he alleged that they had links with international gangs such as Train El Aragua.
The President took advantage of the powers in the Aien Enemies Law of the 18th century to send these migrants to El Salvador with an expedition and avoid traditional channels for deportation.
But in 2019, an immigration judge restricted the government to deport Abrego García to El Salvador due to the fears that he could face the persecution of groups such as the Barrio 18 gang.
The authorities have extended admitted that the deportation of Abbego García was due to “administrative error” and an “administrative error.”
The Trump administration continues to claim that Abrego García “confirms that he is a classification member of the MS-13 gang by a proven and reliable source,” something that his relatives denied vehemently.
The administration also alleges that Abrego García illegally entered the country in 2011.
Despite recognizing the 2019 court order, Trump’s team had fought against the demands to bring Abrego García back to the United States, and Attorney General John Sauer argued that the United States “does not control the sovereign nation of El Salvador de El Salvador
A federal judge had given the Trump administration a deadline last Monday to bring Abrego García back home.
Ultimately, the intervention of the Supreme Court, initially, blocks that ruling and then unanimously discarding the rapid deadline that the federal judge had established.
“However, the planned scope of the term ‘carry out’ in the order of the District Court is not clear, and can exceed the authority of the District Court,” the Supreme Court wrote in a unanimous ruling last Thursday. “The District Court must clarify its directive, with the proper consideration of the Executive Branch in foreign affairs behavior.”
“For its part, the government must be prepared to share what can with respect to the steps that have tasks and the most steps perspective.”
After the ruling of the Superior Court, Trump told reporters: “If the Supreme Court said to bring someone back, it would.”
“Respect for the Supreme Court.”
It is not clear how aggressive the Trump administration will try to facilitate the return of Abrego García.
“The Supreme Court really made it very clear that it is the administration’s response to the facilitation of the return, not to return,” said the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to journalists last week.
