“I Could Call Bukele, But Won’t”: Trump Doubles Down On Abrego García's Deportation To El Salvador

President Trump says he "could" call El Salvador's President Bukele to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man deported from the U.S. despite a court order blocking it. Trump now refuses, calling Abrego an alleged MS-13 member and abuser—claims denied by Abrego’s lawyers, who say he has no gang ties or criminal charges. The deportation was labeled an “administrative error,” but critics say it violated legal protections. With the Supreme Court and federal judges demanding his return, Trump’s stance is sparking legal and human rights outrage. #Trump #Bukele #AbregoGarcia #MS13 #SupremeCourt #Immigration #Deportation #AlienEnemiesAct #HumanRights #CourtOrder #ElSalvador #ICE #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #MigrationCrisis #BukeleNews #LegalBattle #TrumpAdministration #Asylum #GangViolence #WithholdingOfRemoval #FederalCourt #SCOTUS #ICEDeportation #TrumpSpeech #ImmigrationPolicy #Controversy #LawAndOrder #LegalRights #BidenTrump Also Read Canada Election Result Marks Nationalist Comeback Against Donald Trump.

Photos of Kilmar Abrego Garcia sipping margaritas in El Salvador with US Senator Chris Van Hollen have gone viral, days after his controversial deportation from Maryland.

While Trump’s team called the deportation a mistake, they insist on criminal ties.

El Salvador Blocks US Senator’s Visit To Wrongfully Deported Man Amid MS-13 Allegations | WATCH

U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wrongfully deported Salvadoran man held in a notorious prison in El Salvador. Despite a Supreme Court ruling and official acknowledgment of error, El Salvador refuses to release him. The senator accused Trump’s administration of paying to keep Abrego imprisoned. President Bukele remains firm, defying diplomatic pressure. Abrego’s case raises serious concerns over the misuse of the Alien Enemies Act and wrongful deportations under false MS-13 allegations. Lawyers claim no trial, no charges, and no legal access. #ElSalvador #Deportation #ChrisVanHollen #MS13 #TrumpAdministration #Bukele #HumanRights #PrisonerRights #USPolitics #SupremeCourt #ForeignPolicy #BidenVsTrump #WrongfulDeportation #KilmarAbrego #ImmigrationJustice #BreakingNews #InternationalRelations #SenateForeignRelations #IllegalDeportation #NoDueProcess Also Read US Government Remains Silent on Steps to Return Mistakenly Deported Man from El Salvador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-facilitating-return-of-deported-man-el-salvador-011-4122509.html?ref=DMDesc Tragic Helicopter Crash in El Salvador Kills Police Director and Fugitive Banker :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/el-salvador-helicopter-crash-claims-police-chief-banker-011-3930103.html?ref=DMDesc Brutal Reality Of El Salvador's Mega Prison Where Those Who Enter Never Return :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brutal-reality-of-el-salvadors-mega-prison-where-those-who-enter-never-return-3859371.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.124~

Trump HUMILIATES CNN’s Kaitlan Collins In Front of President Bukele | ‘You’re A LOW-RATED Anchor’

During a high-stakes White House meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Donald Trump publicly insulted CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, calling her a “low-rated anchor” as she pressed him on the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Trump mocked both Collins and CNN, claiming the network “hates our country” and “hides border data.” While Collins stayed firm, demanding accountability, Trump pivoted to attacking the media again—reviving his long-running feud. Bukele praised Trump’s border policy but sidestepped questions on returning Garcia.

Karoline Leavitt Fires Back at MSNBC Host Over ‘People of Color Are Next’ Deportation Comment

Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary for President Trump, pushed back during a press briefing on claims made by MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend. Sanders warned that “people of color” could be next following the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a 29-year-old illegal immigrant sent to El Salvador’s megaprison, CECOT. While the administration first called it an error, officials now say Garcia may be tied to MS-13, a claim his lawyers deny. As Democrats and media voices raise alarm, the Trump team accuses them of spreading fear for political gain. #Trump #KarolineLeavitt #SymoneSanders #MSNBC #Deportation #ImmigrationPolicy #AbregoGarcia #MS13 #CECOT #PressBriefing #TrumpAdministration #IllegalImmigration #Megaprison #ImmigrationDebate #Fearmongering #USPolitics #ImmigrationNews #GOP #Democrats #MediaBias #FoxNews #BreakingNews #PoliticalControversy #KarolineSpeaks #BidenVsTrump #LatinoVoters #MarylandPolitics #MichaelSteele #GlenIvey #Election2024 Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

MS-13 Suspect Moved Before Van Hollen Visit? | Trump, Dems Clash Over Deported Maryland Man’s Rights

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported immigrant alleged to have MS-13 ties, was moved from El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison CECOT before Senator Chris Van Hollen arrived to advocate for his release. While Trump defends the deportation, citing national security, Democrats claim Garcia was wrongfully deported and stripped of his rights. A federal judge found no terrorism links, prompting a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return. As the debate intensifies, Garcia’s case has become a political flashpoint between immigration policy, human rights, and national security narratives. #KilmarGarcia #VanHollen #Trump #MS13 #DeportationDebate #ElSalvador #CECOT #HumanRights #ImmigrationCrisis #MarylandPolitics #RachelMorin #DHS #TruthSocial #CentroIndustrial #SCOTUS #BidenVsTrump #GangViolence #JusticeSystem #ConstitutionalRights #PoliticalDivide ~HT.318~
