El Salvador President will NOT return mistakenly deported man to U.S.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele met with President Donald Trump and issued a statement about the mistakenly deported man named Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Bukele said El Salvador will NOT return the man to the United States. The conversation went like this, as reported on MSN:

"How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous," Bukele said when asked if he'd return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "We're not very fond of releasing terrorists," he added.

 

Trump then turned to Bukele and said of the assembled reporters: "They'd love to have a criminal released into our country. These are sick people."

 

He also said he wants Bukele to take in as many criminals "as possible."

 

Garcia has never been charged criminally in the U.S. or El Salvador, according to court filings.
