During a visit to the White House, El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele joined Trump administration officials in roasting CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins over her ridiculous questions.
The exchange occurred during an April 14 meeting between President Donald Trump and Bukele in the Oval Office, where they were asked by Collins about the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — an illegal alien and suspected MS-13 gang member who the Trump administration deported to El Salvador and is now being held in the country’s supermax prison.
The mainstream media and the left have run with a lie spread by a since-fired DOJ employee, who pushed the false claim that Abrego Garcia was “a Maryland man” deported “by mistake.” However, this is a fabricated story, as it has been confirmed that Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien from El Salvador, and thus was sent back to his home country.
He’s not a “Maryland man.” He’s an illegal alien MS-13 terrorist from El Salvador.
The corporate media wants so badly for our country to be flooded with foreign criminals. https://t.co/7ExGTk6kLR

Trump and Bukele had been discussing the issue of illegal immigration and the ongoing agreement between their respective nations to allow the U.S. to deport violent illegal alien criminals to the El Salvadorian supermax prison. The CNN reporter then asked whether the two leaders had any plans to bring Abrego Garcia back to the United States, but Trump initially directed the question to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who explained to Collins that the U.S. was not asking El Salvador to return a Salvadorian illegal alien member of a violent gang.
“He was illegally in our country … and in 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court, ruled that he was a member of MS-13,” Bondi replied. “That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him, that’s not up to us.”
Bondi then noted that the Supreme Court ruling that the left has been twisting to fit their narrative actually meant that the U.S. does not have to take Garcia back on its own, and is instead only required to facilitate his return if El Salvador requests it.
Bukele then jumped in to confirm that he had no intention of sending his own country’s citizen back to the United States, nor would he be releasing the “terrorist” from prison.
“The question is preposterous, how can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele fired back at Collins. “I’m not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country … we just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the western hemisphere and you want us to go back?” he added. “That’s not going to happen.”
BREAKING: The President of El Salvador just said he will not be returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. Bukele is a ROCKSTAR for this!

“Well they’d love to have criminals released into our country,” Trump chimed in. “These are sick people.”
U.S. Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller also chimed in to roast Collins, chastising her for trying to tell a foreign nation how to address issues with their own citizens.
“It is very arrogant, even for American media, to suggest that we would tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens,” he said, explaining that, because Trump has designated MS-13 as a foreign terror organization, Abrego Garcia “was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States.”
“No version of this legally ends up with him ever living here because he is a citizen of El Salvador,” Miller continued.
Even Secretary of State Marco Rubio jumped in to roast Collins, confirming that the executive branch’s foreign policy operations are not decided by the judicial branch, and thus these lower court judges have no jurisdiction to rule that the Trump administration must take back the Salvadorian illegal alien.
“I don’t understand what the confusion is. This individual is a citizen of El Salvador. He was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country,” Rubio explained. “No court in the United States has the right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States. It’s that simple. End of story.”
JUST IN: President Trump has multiple members of his admin take turns ripping CNN's Kaitlan Collins after she asked why an alleged MS-13 member was deported to El Salvador.
Lmao.
