Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele mocked Kilmar Abrego Garcia's detention following news that he has been released from custody in the country and is on his way back to the U.S, where he will be charged with smuggling migrants.
In a publication on X, Bukele made reference to his Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump in April, where he flatly rejected returning Abrego Garcia. "As I said in the Oval Office:
1. I I would never smuggle a terrorist into the United States.
2. I would never release a gang member onto the streets of El Salvador.
