True ⬇️ and by the way the US presented no proof he is a terrorist. That is something the US could have (and had a right to have) alleged and proved in court but chose not to. And admitted the deportation was a US mistake.
Shorter Bukele: The ball is in Trump's court.
1) Bukele says 3x he can't "SMUGGLE" Abrego Garcia into US - i.e., if not legally permitted (by Trump admin) to do so
2) Why THAT question would be "preposterous."
3) Then adds: "I don't have the power to return him to the United States." (Trump does)

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion
Maybe

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.
