Shame: Bukele Cares More About Abrego Garcia’s Rights Than Trump Does

As it turned out, none of the deportees received the due process to which the Supreme Court has held unanimously all are entitled so that a court could determine their gang status.

Moreover, untold numbers of the deportees have no criminal record, and at least some were shipped there by mistake, including eight women (CECOT is male-only) and, most notoriously, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom several U.S. officials have conceded was sent there by mistake.

In a revealing series of interviews coincident with the 100-day mark of his second presidency, Trump has made clear that, as usual, he snookered everyone: Bukele, U.S. Judge Paula Xinis, Abrego Garcia’s attorneys, and the Supreme Court; and he is now in the process of trying to snooker the American people about Abrego Garcia.
