Based on an insightful exchange that just took place in the Oval Office, it appears the deported illegal alien who Democrats are fighting so hard to get back into the United States will likely NOT be coming back. 

President Donald Trump welcomed El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to the White House Monday morning.

The Trump administration has made a deal with Bukele to deport some of the most violent illegal alien criminals and gang members to be incarcerated in Bukele’s secure ‘mega prison.’

Trump was seen greeting Bukele at the door when he arrived to the White House. A reportedly bizarrely shouted to Trump if he had a message for Christians on Holy Week. Trump, who had already released an eloquent message about that very topic Sunday evening, did not respond to the shouted question.

After Bukele’s arrival, President Trump invited reporters in to the Oval Office, where he and Bukele responded to a wide range of questions.

Referring to his huge new ‘mega prison’ now filled with thousands of violent gang members, Bukele noted that he turned his country from being the ‘murder capital of the world’ into the safest country in the western hemisphere.

“We imprisoned thousands, but we liberated millions,” Bukele said.  He then noted that for Trump to liberate 350 million people, he will have to imprison criminals. “You cannot just free the criminals and think crime’s going to go down magically,” he noted.

The top take-away from the entire meeting was when CNN’s Katilan Collins asked President Trump if he intended to ask Bukele to return the illegal alien man who was “mistakenly deported” to El Salvador.

She was referring to Kilmar Abrego García, 29, an illegal alien from El Salvador who snuck into the United States illegally around 2011, when he was about 15 or 16 years old. Abrego Garcia later married a U.S. citizen and was living in Maryland. In 2019 two U.S. courts ruled that he is an MS-13 gang member.

Abrego Garcia was arrested by immigration agents last month, and deported to El Salvador on flights with about 260 other violent illegal alien gang members. Abrego Garcia’s wife denies that he is an MS-13 gang member, and the Supreme Court issued a ruling last week ordering that he be returned to the united States.

President Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to respond to Collins’ question. Bondi explained the history behind the case, noted that it was simply a paperwork issue, and said the Supreme Court had ruled that IF El Salvador wanted to return Abrego Garcia, the U.S. would provide a plane to bring him back.

Trump advisor Stephen Miller added that Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador and it is very arrogant of American media to suggest that we would tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens. He also noted that after two courts had ruled in 2019 that he was an MS-13 gang member, he is no longer eligible for immigration relief.

Collins then asked Bukele if he plans to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S., and Bukele declared that he can’t “smuggle a terrorist into the United States.”

“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” Bukele said.

It sounds like Abrego Garcia might as well get used to staying in El Salvador’s mega prison.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio also spoke up about the issue of whether Abrego Garcia would be returned.

“I don’t understand what the confusion is! This individual is a citizen of El Salvador, illegally in the U.S., and was returned to his country… that’s where you deport people, back to their country of origin! Foreign policy of the US is conducted by the PRESIDENT, not by a court. No court has the right to conduct foreign policy. END OF STORY,” Rubio declared.

Miller added, “The Supreme Court said exactly what Marco said: no court has the authority to compel the foreign policy function of the U.S. We won a case 9-0, and people like CNN are portraying it as a loss, as usual, because they want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children!”

Collins continued to press the matter, asking Trump, “You said if SCOTUS said return someone, you’d abide by that?”

Exasperated, Trump retorted, “How long do we have to answer this question from you? Why don’t you just say, ‘Isn’t it wonderful we’re keeping criminals out of our country?’ Why can’t you just say that! Why do you go over and over – that’s why nobody watches you. You have NO credibility.”

“How many illegal criminals are you planning on exporting to El Salvador?” another reporter asked.

“As many as possible,” President Trump replied.
