#Trump will meet w/Pres Nayib #Bukele of #ElSalvador at the White House on Monday as the admin ramps up its use of #CECOT, a notorious Salvadoran prison, for holding migrants deported by the #US.

In Bukele, who has referred to himself as the world’s “coolest dictator,” Trump has found a willing partner in a plan for #deportations w/little or no #DueProcess.

El Salvador’s Leader Says He Won’t Return Wrongly Deported Maryland Man

An Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador was a blunt example of Mr. Trump’s defiance of the federal courts.

The removal of the migrants to the prison, known as #CECOT, has become a flashpoint in the admin’s skirting of normal #immigration practice & the role of the #courts in reviewing #Trump’s #ExecutivePower.

Just a day before the meeting between the 2 leaders, the Trump admin once again defied a federal judge’s order to bring back a Maryland man who was unlawfully deported to the prison.

In a legal filing on Sunday, the #DOJ argued that the courts lacked the ability to dictate steps the White House should take to return the man, #KilmarAbregoGarcia, because only the president had the power to handle US foreign policy.

The #Trump admin has fought against returning Abrego Garcia, a 29-yr-old father of 3, despite admitting in court that his removal was an “administrative error.”

In 2019, an #immigration judge had barred the #US from deporting #KilmarAbregoGarcia by finding that he might face violence or torture if sent to #ElSalvador. That did not stop #Trump from deporting him & scores of other migrants to #ElSalvador last month.

@Nonilex

It does matter what branch of government is involved.

When Federal laws are broken, and validated by a formal court order, compliance is only course of action. Such behavior is contempt of a court order and criminal act.

If Trumpy goons thinks otherwise other forms of forced compliance are on the table then....
