During a meeting at the Oval Office on Monday, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador said he did not plan to return a Maryland man to the United States.
“I’m not going to do it. I mean, the question is preposterous,” said Bukele, after reporters pressured him on whether Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, a Beltsville man, would be returned.
Abrego-Garcia’s case has sparked a closely watched court battle that lawyers worry has major implications for the separation of powers and the rule of law.
