The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month to an El Salvador mega-prison.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang.

Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.

A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.

    I’ll even highlight the section from the ruling.

    That’s already been decided. His ass is deported. Try reading the actual ruling from the court. It does say whey you claim at all.

      You just (poorly) highlighted the exact text that I quoted, the exact text that requires him to be returned to Maryland.
