President of Washington, El Salvadoran, Nayiba Boukele said he did not plan to send a wrongly deported man to Maryland back to the United States after the Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return.
Boukele said during a meeting at the Oval Office with President Donald Trump that he did not have the power to return Kilmar Abgo Garcia, the father of Maryland and a sheet of sheet, whom he claims to be a terrorist.
“How can I return it to the United States? I confiscate it in the United States? “I do not have the power to return it to the United States. We are not very fond of letting terrorists in our country.”
“To release 350 million people, you have to close some. This is the way it works,” Boukele told Trump. Abrego Garcia is not accused of terrorism.
Supreme Court Battle
Abrego Garcia is the basis of the legal battle of the Trump administration after a court ruled that it was wrongly deported to the Supermax prison in El Salvador, where suspected MS-13 and the Tren de Aragua gang is held.
Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration should facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, who has lived in the United States for a decade.
US President Donald Trump meets with President Naib Bouke of El Salvador in the White House Oval Cabinet, April 14, 2025 in Washington, Colombia County. Trump and a bouquet were expected to discuss a number of bilateral issues, including the detention of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, which was held in a prison in El Salvador since March 15.
On Friday, a federal judge ordered Trump’s employees to provide updates on what they do to return it, calling it “extremely anxious” that they can’t say where he is. But on Saturday, the Trump administration said in a federal court that while Abrego Garcia was “alive and secure” in the facility, he was detained “according to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”
“To El Salvador”
White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller, who is also an advisor to the president’s internal security, declined to tell on Monday morning whether Trump would ask a bouquet to send Abrego Garcia back to the United States.
“He has no legal right to be here. He has been issued to him a definitive order to remove this country and thus depends on Salvador and the government and the people of Salvador what the fate of their own citizens is,” Miller told reporters. “We cannot extradite the citizens of foreign countries in our country because of the objection of these countries.”

The Ministry of Interior Security, Christie, said the deportations were “a clear consequence of the oldest of the biggest” criminals in remarks during the meeting.
The Trump administration claims that the Supreme Court said it was the responsibility of the United States to facilitate its return, but it does not need to be exercised.
“It depends on Salvador if they want to return it,” said Prosecutor General Pam Bondi on Monday during a bouquet meeting.
Homeland Security Secretary Christie November spoke during a tour of the Cecot Center for Terrorism (Cecot), while prisoners are staring from a cell in Tecoluka, El Salvador, March 26, 2025.
In a Sunday letter, American Senator Chris Van Holen, D-MD., Requested a bouquet meeting to discuss the detention of Abrego Garcia. Van Holen said he would travel to Salvador this week if he was not returned to the United States by the middle of the week.
The Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the release of Abrego Garcia from arrest in El Salvador and to ensure that his case was processed in the way he would have not been sent to Salvador incorrectly. ” But it states that the order of the null court, that the administration should “realize” its return, is unclear and can go beyond its powers.
“For its part, the government must be ready to share what it can in terms of the steps it has taken and the prospect of more steps,” the Supreme Court wrote in the opinion.
Trump has admitted an “administrative error” in the deportation of Abrego Garcia
The bouquet opened a secot, the notorious brutal center for retention of the country’s terrorism, for use by the Trump administration, to hold more than 270 men, who are said to be members of the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a publication by X on Sunday that an additional 10 “criminals from MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations” arrived in El Salvador on Saturday night.
The Trump administration has earned the deportation of Abrego Garcia to an “administrative error”, according to court documents.
After an airplane carrying abrega Garcia and other detainees, he left the United States in mid -March, a federal judge, in a separate case, temporarily blocking the deportation, deciding that the aircraft should turn.
“Oopsi … too late,” writes Bouke with a crying laughing emoji on X the next day, along with a screenshot of the news report on the judge’s decision.
Later, the Supreme Court overturned the judge’s bloc, saying Trump could resume the deportations of some detainees.
