In a recent meeting with Donald Trump, President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, announced that he would not facilitate the return of Kilmar Ábrego García, a Salvadoran citizen mistakenly deported from the US. This decision comes after the US Supreme Court mandated the Trump administration to assist in Mr. García's return, citing an error in his deportation.

El Salvador Refuses to Return Mistakenly Deported Man, Claims Political Grounds
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele maintains stance against returning Kilmar Ábrego García, a US deportee held in a controversial prison, despite US Supreme Court ruling.
Bukele’s firm stance appears rooted in a blossoming alliance with Trump, characterized by an agreement to deport individuals classified as gang members to El Salvador. The Trump administration has used its authority to send back individuals accused of gang affiliations to a maximum-security facility known as Cecot. Mr. García's attorney argues he does not belong to any gang, yet officials continue to assert otherwise. Amidst these developments, growing controversy surrounds human rights concerns within Cecot, a facility criticized for its treatment of inmates.
Despite political challenges and court rulings, Bukele continues to tighten his grip on immigration policies, relying on strategic partnerships with the US, aiming to establish a strong reputation as a crime-fighting leader while navigating the ongoing complexities of an intertwined legal and political landscape.
