Trump and Bukele Reject Supreme Court Mandate on Wrongful Deportation Case

Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains detained in El Salvador despite a U.S. Supreme Court order for his return, with both nations refusing proactive measures.

• Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man with protected status in the U.S., was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison in March due to an acknowledged administrative error.
• The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must 'facilitate' Garcia's return, but administration officials argue they are not obligated to take proactive steps.
• El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele dismissed the idea of returning Garcia, calling it 'preposterous,' and refused to release him within El Salvador, citing unsubstantiated claims of terrorism.
• Trump administration officials, including Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi, reiterated allegations of Garcia's MS-13 affiliation, though multiple courts have found the evidence to be unsubstantiated.
• The case has intensified tensions between the judicial and executive branches, with broader implications for U.S. immigration policy and human rights concerns in Salvadoran detention facilities.
