The meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Salvadoran counterpart Nayib Bukele was largely focused on the latter's willingness to accept U.S. deportees, particularly a Maryland man whose return has been ordered by the Supreme Court after it was determined he was wrongfully removed. But as both Trump and Bukele refused to do so, a New York lawmaker said his office was introducing a legislation offering protection to people that end up in these situations.
Concretely, congressman Ritchie John Torres told journalist Yashar Ali that he is planning to introduce the "RESCUE Act," a bill that would require the U.S. to take action if someone is wrongfully deported and if a foreign government also declines to comply with their return.
