Donald Trump isn’t fit for the role of president of the United States. This isn’t exactly news to most of us, but the man himself would tell you he is the best candidate for the job, despite the fact he doesn’t know the basic requirements of being the president. 5q2v2k

Take his complete disregard for the constitution as a prime example. Despite the fact that the constitution is often taught in schools across the country, Trump evidently doesn’t even know what it contains or whether he even has to adhere to it.

What did Trump say about the constitution? k4f4c

The president has said a lot of not-so-smart things since he was sworn in at the start of the year. However, his recent comments really do take the cake. In a TV interview broadcast on Sunday Trump was grilled over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father who was sent to a prison in El Salvador after an istrative error. 

When asked if he agrees that everyone in the U.S. citizen or non-citizen should have access to due process he answered “I don’t know.” When further pressed on whether he needed to uphold the constitution he answered once again with, “I don’t know.”

The president should know o4x33

Out of all the people in the U.S., the one person who really should know what he does and doesn’t need to do when it comes to the constitution is the president. When he was sworn in he raised his right hand and swore he would “preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States.” That was just under four months ago, and yet, it seems he’s already forgotten that he said that.

Maybe Donald Trump really is sundowning. Theories regarding the president’s declining mental state have been circulating online for a long time now. There are plenty of examples of him confusing pretty simple things, such as “Harvard” and “Harlem.” It’s led many to question if he might be suffering from dementia. 

Now he’s openly itted that he doesn’t know whether people should have access to due process and he doesn’t know if he has to uphold the constitution. These are fairly easy questions any president would have no difficulty answering. If he really doesn’t know what is expected of him in his role then maybe he shouldn’t be leading the country? I don’t know, just a wild thought. 

Trump was possibly trying to be coy with his responses but he inadvertently ended up telling the truth for the first time in a long time. He really doesn’t know, just like he didn’t know what he was doing when he defunded essential government departments or when he implemented the tariffs. He’s just constantly winging it.

Nobody glazes Donald Trump like Donald Trump. The man really does seem to think the sun shines out of his behind, that he’s the peak of humanity and that nobody could do it better. His recent comments regarding his first 100 days in office prove just how delusional the man really is.

Phoning in to a NewsNation town hall event which was moderated by Chris Cuomo, Bill O’Reilly, and Stephen A. Smith, the president answered questions posed to him by Americans from across the country. O’Reilly presented a question from a man named Lee Shapiro which asked Trump what he believed his biggest mistake was during his time as leader of the free world so far.

Donald Trump’s answer got a laugh from the crowd 6a592y

Donald Trump responded to the question the only way he knew how: by boldly proclaiming that he had not made any errors, “I’ll tell you, that’s the toughest question I could have because I don’t really believe I’ve made mistakes.” Only Trump could be this conceited while completely lacking any semblance of self-awareness.

His answer drew a laugh from the audience which isn’t a surprise considering how ludicrous the statement is. But unfortunately it doesn’t seem like he was joking. He truly believes he’s infallible. How can someone be a competent world leader when they’re not willing to it they’re in the wrong?

Trump continued, explaining “We’re in a transition period,” which is his latest excuse for why things are so bad right now, “tremendous economic victories” are right around the corner, we just have to be patient guys! Trump promised that “we’re gonna make millions and billions of dollars,” but “that doesn’t happen overnight, but it will happen much faster than people understand.”

We know the president has made plenty of mistakes 625u44

Anyways, back in the real world Trump has made a great number of mistakes in his first 100 days. Let’s start with the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent to the CECOT detention center in El Salvador due to an istrative error. Despite the obvious mistake, Trump has refused to acknowledge it, even going as far as accusing Abrego Garcia of being a member of the MS-13 gang based on a clearly edited photo.

His tariffs are another mistake, but the president maintains that once the tariffs truly kick in and companies move production to the U.S. things will get better. Maybe, but that doesn’t change the damage he’s doing to the economy and U.S. trade right now.

And what about when DOGE fired 300 nuclear experts and then had to re-hire them. In fact, anything DOGE has done could be considered a mistake to be honest. Trump’s decision to even involve Elon Musk in politics was the biggest mistake a man has ever made.

We could go on but you get the point. Nobody’s perfect but Trump is so far off the mark with his self-evaluation it’s funny. If he could just it some of his own failures then maybe there would be hope, but this is the man who still refuses to it he lost the 2020 election so that’s very unlikely.

The Trump istration’s approach to deportation has been rightfully criticized for being downright dystopian. The removal without due process and the flimsy “proof” used by ICE to profile people has already seen a handful of innocents being sent to El Salvador, most notably, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

But last week, news of another innocent individual who was swept up in the chaos of Donald Trump’s deportations came to light. Just like Abrego Garcia, this one will be hard for MAGA to justify but they’ll no doubt find a way.

What happened? 5f6k4q

According to various news outlets, a man by the name of Ricardo Prada Vasquez was apprehended after taking a wrong turn and ending up on a one-way toll road that took him into Canada. The man, who was residing in the U.S. legally, was attempting to deliver a food order as he was working as an UberEats driver at the time. Upon trying to return to the U.S. Prada Vasquez was taken into custody and from there he disappeared entirely.

What happened to him from there? Nobody knew for sure. His name didn’t appear in any ICE detention facility paperwork and it was believed he wasn’t a part of the 238 transported to El Salvador either. For all intents and purposes it seemed like he had simply dropped off the face of the earth.

Where is Ricardo Prada Vasquez? 624j1g

According to EL PAÍS, Gris Vogt, a Mexican-American woman, has been in with Prada Vasquez’s family and confirmed that he is being held in the CECOT facility in El  Salvador. The family had not heard from their son since March 14th. Last week, when reports of Prada Vasquez’s unknown whereabouts made headlines, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that he had been transported to CECOT.

Prada Vasquez was initially apprehended back in January but prior to March 15th he had been held in an ICE detainment facility. Now it seems he’s been removed from the country altogether and sent away to one of the worst places imaginable. The CECOT facility in El Salvador has been described as a “death camp” where human rights violations occur regularly.

The importance of due process 6a2g1r

Naturally this whole ordeal has caused a great deal of concern as Prada Vasquez didn’t do anything wrong. He made a simple mistake, one that anybody would be capable of making. But now his life has been forever altered by a broken system.

It’s been said time and time again, but Trump’s deportation policy is completely unconstitutional. While MAGA may try to justify deporting what they have labeled as “criminals,” it’s clear that many innocents are getting swept up in the madness too.

The White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, has doubled down on the Trump istration’s deportation policy. The current approach has seen much criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike, especially after the illegal deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Despite his government’s obvious mistake, Miller has refused to back down on the issue. In an interview last week he went on an unhinged rant in which he demanded reparations for the American people in response to comments from Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. 

Stephen Miller’s insane demands explained 1et68

Whitehouse shared his idea for the government be fined over the deportation of Abrego Garcia. He suggested that a federal judge could put the government under a civil contempt sanction in order to compel the government to comply with the court order. This would involve a fine of $1 million a day, some of which would go to Abrego Garcia. Sounds pretty fair, after all, the government should be doing something to make things right.

Miller responded to the proposal asking, “For the love of God, where are the damages for Americans">what’s been referred to as a “death camp.”

The government’s methods for identifying and deporting people to El Salvador has been criticized heavily already. Lack of things like due process mean innocents like Kilmar Abrego Garcia are being sent to CECOT, a place that people have labeled a death camp. But Fox News star Jesse Watters thinks that’s perfectly fine because Garcia is a Chicago Bulls fan.

By now most know the tragic and disturbing tale of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but for the few who may not be up to speed, Garcia was deported from the U.S. in March of this year. The Trump istration has since itted that the father who resided in Maryland had been targeted in error and should have never been deported. 

Despite this, nothing has been done to bring him back and many in and out the government, have argued that the Department of Homeland Security were right to deport Garcia. 

Jesse Watters thinks Garcia’s hat proves he’s part of a gang n2o18

Some have maintained that Kilmar was and still is a part of the notorious MS-13 gang despite there being no evidence to actually this claim. Watters added his voice to the crowd as he suggested that Garcia’s choice in basketball teams somehow proves his allegiance to the gang. Last week the host claimed that wearing a Chicago Bulls hat “means you’re MS-13” and you “hang around with high-ranking gangsters.”

This doesn’t come as a surprise as the Fox News star has repeatedly shown he lacks basic human empathy and actually feels comfortable enough to crack jokes about people being wrongly sent to El Salvador.

Watters is referring to a picture of Garcia from 2019 in which he can be seen wearing a Bulls hat. He goes on to suggest that Garcia has somehow told on himself by ing a team that is in another state, and also a team that weren’t doing very good that year. 

“Garcia is a Bulls fan, but he’s from El Salvador and he lives in Maryland, not Chicago… The Bulls lost 60 games in 2019, so why the hat? Can Garcia name anyone on the team? Anyone on any Bulls team besides Jordan?”

Any sports fan will tell you there’s more to ing a team than them just being your local team. As for performance, you don’t stop being a fan just because your team has had a bad year. We don’t know how closely Garcia follows sports, it’s true he may not be able to name anyone on the team, but people wear sports merch without being superfans.

It’s ridiculous to claim that the Bulls hat is a signifier that Garcia is a gang member. Watters has absolutely no proof and he’s simply clutching at straws like everyone else in the Trump istration at the moment.

Four Democratic of the U.S. House of Representatives traveled to El Salvador to try to secure the release and return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who had lived in the United States for more than ten years before being deported. Their trip is due to increasing political disagreement over how the Trump istration handled Abrego Garcia’s case, which has faced criticism for allegedly ignoring a Supreme Court decision.

As reported by the New York Times, the Democratic lawmakers’ trip to El Salvador was meant to draw attention to Abrego Garcia’s situation and put pressure on the Trump istration. Their visit follows an earlier trip by Senator Chris Van Hollen, who also met with Abrego Garcia and saw his living conditions in person. The Democrats are also trying to organize an official congressional delegation to look into the matter, per ABC.

They requested funding and security for this effort, but Republican leaders of the relevant House committees rejected the request. Despite this, the Democratic lawmakers are moving forward with their trip, paying for it themselves and handling the arrangements.

House Democrats push for return of man wrongfully deported 5k3k1s

Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife, a U.S. citizen, and their three children before being deported to El Salvador on March 15. His deportation was part of a larger operation involving multiple flights carrying people accused of being connected to gangs.

Despite having legal protection that should have stopped his deportation, he was still sent back to El Salvador. A 2019 court order had specifically blocked his deportation because he faced a serious risk of harm in his home country.

After Abrego Garcia was deported, a federal judge in Maryland ordered that he be brought back to the United States. This decision was later ed by a unanimous Supreme Court ruling on April 10, which instructed the Trump istration to arrange his return. However, the Trump istration argued that it could not follow the Supreme Court’s order, claiming it did not have the power to force a foreign government to release one of its own citizens.

Several federal judges have questioned the istration’s claim that it cannot help Abrego Garcia return from El Salvador. In the Supreme Court’s ruling, Justice Sotomayor pointed out the problems with the istration’s position, warning that it could lead to the deportation and imprisonment of people, including U.S. citizens, without any legal way to challenge it.

The Democrats see their actions as a response to what they believe is a violation of due process and a refusal to respect judicial authority. Their focus is specifically on the legal problems surrounding Abrego Garcia’s deportation, rather than a wider debate on immigration policy. They argue that even if Abrego Garcia’s past actions are questionable, he still has the right to due process.

The Democratic Party is still reeling from being crushed by Donald Trump in the 2024 election, and they only have themselves to blame. Throughout 2023 and 2024, they frantically insisted that, actually, Joe Biden has never been sharper and more perceptive, and that the multiple videos and s of him looking confused and lost were just cruel editing tricks.

All that lying led to the excruciating Presidential debate, the rushed installation of Kamala Harris as nominee and… well, you know the rest of the story. A sensible political party might decide that a lot needs to change, but the same old dusty corporate centrist octogenarians are refusing to relinquish their iron grip on the levers of power.

But, finally, a Democrat has actually done something. I know! We’re shocked too! Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen was clearly disturbed by ICE agents kidnapping Kilmar Abrego Garcia and, trampling all over due process, mistakenly tossing him into the El Salvador nightmare prison.

Over the last few days, Van Hollen has been in El Salvador putting pressure on the government to let him at least see Garcia. He was initially stonewalled at every turn: he was told he could not see or even speak to Garcia over the phone. But he persisted and succeeded, confirming that he’s alive and ing on messages from his loved ones:

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return. pic.twitter.com/U9y2gZpxCb

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) April 18, 2025

Now, let’s not celebrate yet. Garcia remains in the CECOT prison, despite the Supreme Court ordering that he be returned to the United States immediately. Even so, the positive reaction to a Democrat Senator actually achieving something other than hot air speeches and haughtily insulting young people is deeply refreshing:

Yes. There are still hundreds of men deported to El Salvador that are being detained in CECOT through a illegal contract paid for by the U.S. government.

Huge credit to Van Hollen on this, the opposite of Schumer's playing possum strategy. https://t.co/EZTDmBKfrR

— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) April 18, 2025

Despite this good press, it’s safe to assume that Democratic Party higher-ups are absolutely furious with Van Hollen right now. After all, if a Democratic Senator has actually done something, it makes their usual do-nothing protests look all the more performative.

This also drives a stake into the heart of the lie that Garcia cannot be reached or removed. As Van Hollen has met with him, we now know El Salvador will actually bend to the demands of the U.S. Government (I mean, duh), and it’s possible to get these Garcia and the other wrongly removed men back on a plane to the United States.

A British man was dumbfounded last week when he noticed a picture of his own forearm on official documents being used by the Department of Homeland Security to identify and deport supposed gang .

Donald Trump’s overly-aggressive policy regarding the deportation of immigrants has received plenty of criticism. The main issue is that the government seems to not be too concerned with catching actual criminals, just people who look like them. Take Kilmar Abrego Garcia for example. The man was swept up with a bunch of other deportees after an istrative error, but the Trump istration isn’t doing a thing to rectify it. 

A tattoo is all it takes 2k3b4x

Clearly federal agencies aren’t taking a precise approach when it comes to apprehending people. Nothing exposes this fact more than the methods these guys are using to identify and detain supposed “criminals.” The DHS considers tattoos as identifiers for gang . In a document used by the agency several tattoo designs are shown which supposedly link to the infamous Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang.

The problem is, a lot of the tattoo designs seem pretty basic, from stars to crowns to clocks, anyone could have them. If the DHS didn’t say otherwise, these could easily be pictures of ordinary people with ordinary tattoos. Well it turns out that’s exactly what at least one of them is.

The picture of the clock tattoo on a man’s forearm doesn’t belong to some Venezuelan drug kingpin, but rather a man named Pete from Derbyshire, England. Pete Belton, 44, was no doubt surprised to see a picture of his own arm featured in official U.S. government documentation for identifying criminals.

He told the BBC it was a “bit strange, bit funny at first,” but now he’s worried about an trip to Miami this year, “in my head I’m thinking if I’m working in border force and I saw me walking through I’d think ‘hey up we’ve got one, he’s the one in the document’.” Knowing how the government is operating under Trump I wouldn’t put it past them to be stupid enough to actually believe Pete is a Venezuelan gang member.

Does the Trump istration even know what it’s doing? 1x6626

According to the BBC several of the pictures used by the DHS come from tattoo artist’s websites with no clear link to the TDA gang. So basically this documentation is pretty useless. Last month also saw an innocent gay barber sent to El Salvador after being identified as a gang member thanks to a crown tattoo.

Trump’s policy is like a wrecking ball, incredibly destructive, but not very accurate. Sure, he can tout the impressive number of “criminals” he’s deported, but apparently all it takes to be considered a gang member is a non-American accent and some tattoos.

Update: Kilmar Abrega Garcia is not dead:

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return. pic.twitter.com/U9y2gZpxCb

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) April 18, 2025

Original story continues below.

Something is most definitely up. For two weeks, the headlines have been buzzing with the story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland dad scooped up by ICE and mistakenly deported to the nightmarish CECOT prison in El Salvador.

The Supreme Court told Trump to bring him back. Trump ignored that, saying he didn’t have the power to retrieve someone from El Salvador, and anyway, even if he did, he still wouldn’t do it. El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele said he’s not doing it either, describing the idea as “preposterous”. Throughout all this, Trump and his cronies have done their best to smear Garcia as a gang member and human trafficker, hoping that if they lie hard enough, people will believe it.

But what if there was a morbidly straightforward reason why Trump and Bukele can’t bring Garcia home? What if he’s already dead?

Last known 6cu5x

On Mar. 12, Garcia finished work as a union apprentice sheet cutter and headed to his grandmother’s house to collect his severely autistic son. As he was leaving, ICE agents stopped his car, told him his “status had changed” and dragged him away.

Garcia was quickly transported to a Texas detention facility before being placed on a Mar. 15 flight to El Salvador, after which he was tossed into the CECOT prison. His wife, Jennifer Sura, identified him in an undated photo of inmates entering the facility, meaning he was alive as of late March/early April 2025.

Since then, despite numerous attempts, nobody has spoken to or seen Garcia. On Apr. 12, Michael G. Kozak, a senior official in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, insisted that Abrego Garcia was “alive and secure” but was unable to provide any evidence or firsthand information confirming that.

Attempts to reach him jz59

Garcia has now vanished. Naturally, someone within a prison isn’t exactly able to host press conferences, but his attorneys and family have made many attempts to him, and all have failed. There have been no phone calls, no visits, and not one message purported to be from Garcia.

Trump’s own officials are now unable to confirm whether he’s alive or not, with U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis left exasperated by Justice Department attorney Drew Ensign saying he’s unable to provide the court with any firm details or proof of life.

Many were hoping this question would be resolved yesterday, as Senator Chris Van Hollen flew to El Salvador to request a visit to CECOT in which he’d confirm whether Garcia is alive. Despite exhausting every possible route, Van Hollen was blocked at every turn:

“I asked the Vice President [of El Salvador] if I could meet with Mr Abrego Garcia. He said “well you need to make earlier provisions if you need to visit CECOT”. I said “well I’m not interested in taking a tour of CECOT, I just want to meet with Mr Abrego Garcia”. He said that he was not able to make that happen. I asked him if I came back next week I would be able to see Mr Abrego Garcia. He said he couldn’t promise that either. So I asked him if I could get on the phone – either a video phone or just a phone – and talk to Mr Abrego Garcia so I could just ask him how he’s doing and I could report back to his family. He said he could not arrange that.”

It’s worth underlining that the reason Garcia was legally permitted to remain in the United States was because a judge found his story of being targeted by MS-13 credible. As such, his now being shoved into a cell full of suspected MS-13 probably doesn’t bode well for his survival.

I mean, there are disturbing aerial photographs of what appear to be large pools of blood at CECOT. Let’s face it, it doesn’t look good. Not to get a bit tinfoil hat, but the near-constant smearing of Garcia as a brutal MS-13 leader would be the best way to pre-emptively deflate public anger if the Trump istration knew that, sooner or later, they’ll have to reveal he’s been dead for weeks.

El Salvador‘s CECOT maximum security prison is hell on Earth. Built in 2022, it has the capacity for 40,000 inmates and has been repeatedly criticized for human rights abuses, inhumane conditions, overcrowded cells, and ignorance of due process.

It’s currently in the news as Donald Trump decided it’s the perfect destination for over 200 men he wanted to get rid of, even defying a judicial order to stop the removal as it was happening. One of the men picked up was innocent Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who Trump’s lawyers it was deported by mistake, and that the Supreme Court has ordered be returned immediately.

Trump isn’t lifting a finger to help him, raising the prospect of a constitutional crisis. But, what if there was a very grim reason Garcia can’t be returned? After all, those fighting for his release have been unable to speak with him, and despite a judge demanding answers, Trump officials only insist that he’s “alive and secure” without showing any evidence to that. Is he really alive?

CECOT is a secure, remote and highly guarded facility, has been described as a “black hole of human rights“, and access by press is tightly regulated. Now, after examining satellite imagery, many have growing suspicions that something horrible is taking place behind these walls:

He won’t be returned because he’s dead. CECOT is a death camp. https://t.co/8HVY6y8KBa pic.twitter.com/MtjbDqhAIS

— Feels Like A Seal (@DazeOfWar) April 14, 2025

It’s worth underlining that this picture appears to have been taken on Mar. 20, 2024, so this is not a current indication of the facility. It’s also a blurry satellite photo, so what appears to be a pool of blood may be some other kind of crimson or dark red liquid, or possibly even just water on a reddish dirt floor. Regardless, others are convinced that CECOT is, secretly, a death camp:

never been more obvious that they killed this guy and have no clue what to do to bring him back. Check out the sat photos of CECOT. Literally is a death camp https://t.co/jLDlmwZtRL

— John Steakhouse (@abigbowlofchili) April 14, 2025

El Salvador Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro isn’t exactly helping by openly saying that any “gang ” sent here won’t ever be freed and that officials “will make sure none of those who enter the CECOT ever leave on foot.” Which is, well, ominous.

El Salvador running a death camp and America scooping innocent men off the street to die there does sound far-fetched. But then, when rumors of the Nazi death camps began circulating in the 1930s many people dismissed those reports as too lurid to be true.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home. pic.twitter.com/dunE0lytIb

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) April 16, 2025

Either way, Senator Chris Van Hollen is currently traveling to CECOT to try and meet Garcia and arrange for his return. Whether Hollen will be able to confirm Garcia is alive or even be able to get inside the secretive prison remains to be seen. Here’s hoping we get some answers soon, as whatever’s going on behind those walls sounds like a living nightmare.

The ongoing case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the innocent Maryland father that the Trump istration accidentally deported to a notorious El Salvadoran prison, is threatening to turn into the biggest constitutional crisis in a generation.

Last week, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the government must “facilitate” Garcia’s return. Donald Trump is doing nothing of the sort, laughably arguing that he doesn’t have the power to make it happen and even if he did, he wouldn’t comply. This pits the executive and judicial branches of the government against each other, so what happens next?

1) Kilmar Abrego Garcia was here legally
2) Trump illegally sent him to a prison in El Salvador; the istration its this was a mistake
3) The Supreme Court unanimously ordered his return
4) Trump refused
5) Trump wants to do the same thing to U.S. citizens

This is sick. https://t.co/8odNp7CReO

— Rep. Don Beyer (@RepDonBeyer) April 14, 2025

Firstly, all Supreme Court rulings (including their decision on Garcia) are binding under the U.S. Constitution. However, the Supreme Court has no direct enforcement power, so consequences for defying it depend on what other branches and institutions do.

In normal times, defying a Supreme Court order would be widely seen as a massive undermining of the rule of law and the separation of powers. A president who did it may face impeachment proceedings, as Congress would consider it an overreach of presidential powers.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court relies on law enforcement to enforce its orders, though it’s vanishingly unlikely that U.S. Marshals would take action against a sitting president. In any event, the Supreme Court itself ruled in July 2024 that presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for those official acts which fall within their “exclusive sphere of constitutional authority” and have “presumptive immunity” to acts that don’t.

Past examples of presidents defying the Supreme Court are extremely rare. In 1832 President Andrew Jackson was said to have responded to a decision by Chief Justice John Marshall he disagreed with by saying he “made his decision, now let him enforce it!”. Though Jackson may never have said those exact words, he did defy the court and, ultimately, nothing happened to him.

President Trump and President Bukele both made clear in the Oval Office today that they do not intend to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the U.S. following the Supreme Court's ruling.

— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) April 14, 2025

The same is almost certainly true of Donald Trump. Yes, he may be tearing up the balance of governmental power, but if he chooses to ignore the Supreme Court there’s nothing they can realistically do about it. Even if he’s held in contempt by the Supreme Court, he can simply point to the Supreme Court’s own decision granting him immunity.

You might be thinking that this all sounds more like a dictator than a president able to the law and the people. And well, yeah. It does.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man erroneously deported from the U.S. and sent to an El Salvador prison that’s been described as a nightmare, may have just had his last chance at returning home ripped away by the country’s president.

Despite the fact that the Trump istration has itted that Garcia should not have been sent there in the first place, neither the U.S. president nor the El Salvadoran president, Nayib Bukele, seem interested in saving this man from his terrible fate.

Bukele refuses to do the right thing 4u6fo

The conditions of his prison should tell you all you need to know about this man. But in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious that he’s evil, Bukele’s answer when asked if he would return Garcia will no doubt make your blood boil.

“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.”

First of all, why is he asking how he can return Garcia? Is he not literally the president of the country Garcia is currently in? Isn’t this Bukele’s prison? Is he being intentionally dense? His response makes no sense! He wouldn’t have to smuggle Garcia into the states as Garcia has every right to be in the states!

But it gets worse, as Bukele refuses to acknowledge the error saying, “We’re not very fond of releasing terrorists.” Evidently this guy has less brain cells than Trump which is probably why they get along so well. It’s well known that Garcia is not a terrorist or even a criminal so his refusal to acknowledge this proves he’s either ignorant of the situation, or his ego is so fragile that he’s incapable of recognizing his own mistake.

Donald Trump backs the El Salvadoran president 4c351s

Trump, who we know is aware of the reality of the situation, decides to pipe up and also tell an outright lie at this point as he says, “They’d love to have a criminal released into our country. These are sick people.” Once again, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not a criminal and they can’t warp reality to try and present him that way. We already know, the government has already itted it messed up, bringing this man home should not be an issue, so why isn’t he home already?

Attorney General Pam Bondi claims that “it’s up to El Salvador to return him.” Meanwhile advisor Stephen Miller claims Garcia was “sent to the right place,” despite the Supreme Court criticising the unlawful deportation.
