If he's not at CECOT it means he doesn't belong to any gang. I'm a Salvadorean and Bukele would never allow a gang member to be anywhere but CECOT

But he is imprisoning non gang members there. None of them have had their right to due process protection.

This is a difficult topic to discuss because non Salvadoreans, especially Americans will never understand how bad things were under gang control. I can tell you the measures Bukele has taken are overwhelmingly popular in the entire country. I'm sure there's a few innocent people at CECOT but the vast majority of guys there have committed crimes you could never even think of. Bukele isn't stupid and I'm sure he's just being nice to trump because of the money but I'm convinced he thinks trump is stupid. With that said, if Bukele was actually convinced Kilmar was a member of MS13 he would had never allowed him to meet with the senator and he would had never been transferred to another prison

I was referring to the hostages that were sent from the US without due process. Not Salvadorean gang members. Of course.

Why would anyone in El Salvador, regardless of the promises, want to be under the control of a man who changed the laws/rules in El Salvador so he could run again as President, except he's not a president. He's a dictator. Everything I've read about the man is outright criminal. Perhaps that's where Heritage Foundation got most of their policies. trump does love him some dictators.

Because regardless what other countries think, he has been the absolute best president for El Salvador. He gave millions of people their freedom back and was able to destroy the gangs that were literally running the country.

So Bukele CAN and DOES have the ability to release someone after he claimed he couldn’t. Hmmmm

Bukele is a self-appointed military dictator that gutted El Salvador's judiciary. Did I say military dictator? NO ONE else in that country has any say in anything. Bukele holds Abrego Garcia because he enjoys it.

No WONDER they wouldn’t let him into Cecot. He WASNT there. So now him and the others could potentially be Anywhere and no one would know?? And our government was paying for them to be in Cecot??? If Kilmer or anyone was moved, the government would know. Absolutely hostages. Remember how trump called J6ers “hostages”? He always accuses others of his own wrong doings. Bingo.

Remember: no one has SEEN any type of contract or written agreement for the $6 million. It's such a paltry sum for what was supposed to be a hush-hush event that it was probably a handshake agreement around a specific "solution" and paid-for by 3 minutes of trading the Trump coin.

It is so telling that the second the world started talking more about Kilmar, the administration had him moved. They aren’t as powerful as they would have you believe - in fact, I think they are afraid that we will find out how little power they hold

Do you know if the Supreme Court will be dropping the ax on the Alien Enemy Act since the investigation proved the Venezuelan gang is NOT attacking our border (which we all knew!). Also, Trump went on Fox Noticias stating that he won the Garcia case 9-0 with the Supreme Court. He calls CNN and other news sources liars. Tell me this is illegal, please!?

Trump: "We won that case 9-0. Basically that’s a decision that will be made by the government of El Salvador… It’s interesting because we won that decision 9-0 in the Supreme Court and if you listen to the news, you wouldn’t know that."
