Trump and Bukele manipulate arrested narrative in El Salvador

Abreago Garcia, a Migrant Salvadoran, entered the United States illegally in 2011, but received an indefinite extension of deportation in 2019. Living in Maryland, he was arrested by the authorities on the grounds that he was a member of the MS-13 gang, and placed on the list of criminals who would be deported by Trump to El Salvador.

A federal judge determined that there were no evidence that the immigrant was part of the gang and ordered the Trump government to bring back the immigrant, married to an American and with children in the US.

The US government refused to comply with the order, even though it admitted that it was an “administrative error” its deportation. Bukele, who was at the White House earlier this week, claimed that he had no powers to send Vugo Garcia back to the US.

Trump has paid bukele administration $ 15 million to keep the deported in detention and the president, who has never revealed the terms of the agreement, now insists that he wants to expand the number of detention centers in the Central American country to receive immigrants.

This week, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen decided to go to El Salvador to try to visit the prisoner and denounce the Trump government’s arbitrariness. As he went from his hotel to prison, his train was stopped by police and he was not allowed to continue travel. The senator had already given up from the meeting. But, with a few hours to leave the city, he received a call that he would have access to Garcia Aggregation.

What happened in the following hours, however, more like an advertising operation.
