“… But weeks earlier, when the three planes of deportees landed, it was the Salvadoran president who had quietly expressed concerns.

As part of the agreement with the Trump administration, Mr. Bukele had agreed to house only what he called “convicted criminals” in the prison. However, many of the Venezuelan men labeled gang members and terrorists by the U.S. government had not been tried in court.

… Mr. Bukele wanted assurances from the United States that each of those locked up in the prison were members of Tren de Aragua, the transnational gang with roots in Venezuela, according to people familiar with the situation and documents obtained by The New York Times.

“… In Mr. Bukele, the White House had a willing ally, albeit one with specific demands, including a list of high-ranking MS-13 gang leaders he wanted sent back to El Salvador as part of the deal.

That stoked alarm among some U.S. law enforcement officials. The Justice Department has spent years building cases against MS-13 leaders for criminal activities in the United States, alleging that the gang has been protected by the Salvadoran government.

…
Mr. Bukele was willing to let the United States use his prisons — with conditions, he told Mr. Rubio and Mauricio Claver-Carone, Mr. Trump’s Latin American envoy.

He did not want to bring in noncriminal migrants; he could not convince Salvadorans he was prioritizing their national interests if he turned their country into a dumping ground for U.S. deportees from other countries, he explained to Mr. Trump’s aides.

But he did agree to take in violent criminals, no matter their nationality, for a fee, which would help subsidize the country’s prison system. …”
 
“… Some U.S. law enforcement officials were alarmed over the prospect of sending back leaders of MS-13 now facing charges for alleged crimes in the United States. Both the Treasury Department and Justice Department have accused Mr. Bukele’s government of making a secret pact with MS-13, offering its leaders behind bars special privileges to keep homicides down in El Salvador. Mr. Bukele has denied the claims.

“What Bukele is desperate for is to get these guys back in El Salvador before they talk in U.S. court,” said Douglas Farah, an El Salvador expert who between 2018 and 2022 collaborated with the Justice Department “Vulcan” task force, which targeted MS-13, as a U.S. military contractor.

Nevertheless, U.S. officials agreed to send El Salvador around a dozen senior members of MS-13, including a high-ranking leader named César Humberto López-Larios, who had been in U.S. custody awaiting trial on narco-terrorism conspiracy charges. Mr. Bukele has so far not received everyone he sought, but U.S. officials say they still intend to send additional gang leaders he has requested. …”

El Salvador Is Said to Have Spurned U.S. Request for Return of Deported Migrant​

It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

El Salvador Is Said to Have Spurned U.S. Request to Return Abrego Garcia

It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

“The Trump administration recently sent a diplomatic note to officials in El Salvador to inquire about releasing a Salvadoran immigrant whom government officials have been ordered by the Supreme Court to help free, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

But the authoritarian government of Nayib Bukele, the leader of El Salvador, said no, two of the people said. The Bukele administration claimed the man should stay in El Salvador because he was a Salvadoran citizen, according to one of those people.

It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whom administration officials have repeatedly acknowledged was improperly expelled to El Salvador last month in violation of a court order expressly prohibiting him from being sent there.

Some legal experts suggested that the sequence of events could have been an attempt at window dressing by officials seeking to give the appearance of being in compliance with the recent Supreme Court ruling ordering the White House to “facilitate” Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release….”

Let me help out the author of this article. No, no it was not a genuine effort.

Why would El Salvador want to hold someone in its prison that has never been convicted of a crime. Let's get some discovery into who is paying for that jail accommodation.

The new story which I can't link right now is that Bukele demanded assurances that the prisoners were Tren de Agua, and the evidence provided to him was, shall we say, a bit spotty at times. Which is probably why they sent some back.

So Bukele, who calls himself "coolest dictator in the world", has more concern for due process than the president of the US.
 
I mean we've been in a constitutional crisis for awhile as in disobeying district judges...but Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court.

Trump says he 'could' return Kilmar Ábrego García to US if he wanted to

The Supreme Court is a branch of government. I'm a branch of government. So nice. I'm so nice. I can obey them. They can obey me. Or not. They are just suggestions. Even if Amy "Conan" Barrett isn't so nice to me lately, that's OK. Maybe she's going through some things. But our border has never been tighter. Like nothing anyone has ever seen. We've finding American citizens crossing the border of Ohio and collecting hundreds of thousand of dollars in social security checks from their 145 year old grandmothers.

DOGE has done an amazing job and I hope you buy a Tesla, just like I did. Pam cooked up some meth in it, and the explosion didn't even leave a scratch. I hear they're going to use it in Fast Furious 11.

“… The judge in Thursday’s decision examined the proclamation issued by the Trump administration in March and found that Tren de Aragua members’ presence in the U.S. didn’t constitute an “invasion” or “predatory incursion” under the law.

“While the Proclamation references that TdA members have harmed lives in the United States and engage in crime, the Proclamation does not suggest that they have done so through an organized armed attack, or that Venezuela has threatened or attempted such an attack through TdA members,” Rodriguez wrote. …”

Unless he ruled that the Enemy Aliens Act is unconstitutional, then NO judge has the power to decide which duly elected President can exercise the Constitutional Powers under Article II and which ones can't.
Judges are NOT the supreme law of the land, the constitution is, and that is the only limitation Trump should be concerning himself with! And the constitution demands that Trump do what he promised when he took his oath of office.
Ignore the judge. He has no authority to issue an enforceable nationwide injunction over the executive branch to allow illegal invaders to stay here.
