Have destroyed his life and still want to block him
The madness of the US explanations. US President Donald Trump has suggested that a US immigrant was missing in a prison in El Salvador would belong to the MS-13 band, a statement rejected by a judge who ordered his return to the country before midnight, AFP reports.
« Someone said he is a member of the MS-13, and not of Aragua train, » another tape, said Trump, asked by journalists on board Air Force One Sunday night.
« MS-13 is a very harmful organization, perhaps as harmful » as Aragua train, he continued, without mentioning Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s name, an immigrant from El Salvador.
Installed in the US under protected status in 2019 and married to an American woman, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was among the expelled people from the United States on El Salvador, accused by the Trump administration of gangs.
The American Justice Department acknowledged in judicial documents that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was expelled due to an « administrative error ».
He was placed in detention « without a legal basis » on March 12 and expelled three days later, a judge, Paula Xinis, said on Friday. It then ordered his repatriation on the American territory until April 7, before 23:59 (03:59 GMT).
In a document of 22 pages published on Sunday, the judge supported his decision and rejected the request of the lawyers of the Trump administration who requested the suspension of the repatriation order, while a court rules on the appeal.
The lawyers of the Trump administration « admit that they had no legal authority to arrest him, no justification to arrest him, no reason to send him to El Salvador and even less to send him to one of the most dangerous prisons in the western hemisphere, » she wrote.
The Department of Internal Security (DHS) « was based mainly on a single, unfounded accusation, that Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13, » continued Judge Paula Xinis.
In the middle of February, Donald Trump designated eight Latin American cartels as ‘terrorist’ organizations, including MS-13 gangs and Aragua train, a qualification that broadens the spectrum offered to American authorities fighting organized crime.
