The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.
Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.
A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.
Oh yeah. Very dead. Although my guess is he got murdered in the prison within a couple days or even hours. Probably the moment they went from “administration error” to “that guy was obviously in a gang”.

I saw! Glad to be proven wrong, but now it’s even more questionable why they’d be so defiant when the dude seems to not even be jailed.
Yeah it’s a relief. On your point though I would be surprised if they literally thought he was dead up until that point
Worst case scenario is the ‘prison’ is nothing but a death camp and they’re killing everybody.
