"I'm not involved" in the case of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador
From CNN's Aditi Sangal
President Donald Trump said today that he is not involved in the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the US government.
“Well, I’m not involved in it,” he told reporters at the White House when asked if he will take steps to return Abrego Garcia if the court holds him in contempt.
He reiterated that he was elected to remove any criminals who are in the United States illegally. “I don’t see how judges can take that authority away from a president,” he added.
The Trump administration has claimed Abrego Garcia, who has not been charged with or convicted of any crime, is a member of MS-13. However, his wife and lawyers dispute that claim.
