President Donald Trump has defied a Supreme Court ruling ordering the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States during a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. The Trump administration argues that since Abrego Garcia is in Salvadorian custody, they do not have jurisdiction. Trump also mentioned considering deporting U.S. citizens convicted of serious crimes during the same press briefing.
Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported in March following Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Bukele stated that he does not have the power to return Abrego Garcia to the United States. Abrego Garcia is currently detained at the Terrorism Confinement Center, which was commissioned to combat gang violence in El Salvador.
Critics, like California native Kevin Chavez, express fear that Trump’s actions could lead to innocent people being harmed. Despite the administration’s efforts, U.S. citizens cannot be deported under immigration law. Trump’s stance on deporting convicted individuals continues to be a point of contention.
