Speaking of Stephen Miller, Trump, and Bukele . . .
A U.S. Supreme Court opinion on April 10 said: "The intended scope of the term "effectuate" in the District Court's order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court's authority," the Suprem Court said. "The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs."
Pam Bondi said on
Fox News: "President Bukele doesn't want to give him back to the United States, nor do we want him back."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement on Monday: "The law is clear, due process was grossly violated, and the Supreme Court has clearly spoken that the Trump administration must facilitate and effectuate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He should be returned to the U.S. immediately. Due process and the rule of law are cornerstones of American society for citizens and noncitizens alike, and not to follow that is dangerous and outrageous. A threat to one is a threat to all."
Senator Chris Murphy, the Democrat from Connecticut,
wrote on X on Monday: "Trump's people are engaged in nuclear grade gaslighting. They say it's up to El Salvador if they want to send him back. Bulls***. We bring people back all the time when we wrongfully remove them. They could get this guy in a hot second if they wanted to."
Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat from California, wrote on X: "In the Oval Office, President Trump sat in silence as El Salvadoran President Bukele smeared Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a 'terrorist.' SCOTUS ordered his returnbut instead, the Trump Administration is defying the law, disappearing people and yielding to a fellow tyrant at the expense of the victim's family."
