Trump has done more to help Andrew Tate, a human trafficking rapist pedophile, than he has for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

JD Vance's America, the police can knock on any immigrant's door, deport him to a dictatorship without due process, and then wash their hands of his fate, pretending that America is powerless to free someone outside our border.

During a meeting at the White House, President Nayib Bukele reaffirmed that El Salvador will act as an international branch of the U.S. Border Patrol, even detaining U.S. citizens.

x Reup: If Kilmar Abrego Garcia was as dangerous as Stephen Miller alleged yesterday, then why the fuck did Donald Trump free him in 2019? (And other questions elicited by yesterday's fascist spectacle.) www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/15/w...

x “Nayib Bukele is a minor strongman who will do whatever Donald Trump demands of him. If Trump wants Abrego Garcia in the United States, then Bukele will return him. If Bukele understands that Trump does not want Abrego Garcia returned, then he will keep the man.” www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

x Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.
