Trump says he could give Kilmar Ábrego García back to us if he wanted

Clock: Trumps first 100 days … in just 2 minutes

US President Donald Trump has recognized that he has the ability to bring a man back who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, but that he will not do so.

Kilmar Ábrego García was removed from the United States in March. The judges up to the Supreme Court of the United States decided that this was erroneous and that Trump's team should contribute to “facilitating” his return.

Trump had previously denied power to bring Mr. Ábrego García back to his house in Maryland. He was pressed by an interviewer of ABC News on Tuesday and admitted that he could “change” the situation if he wanted to.

However, he argued that Mr. Ábrego García was rightly deported.

Trump also said that a state lawyer who had previously admitted that Mr. Ábrego García had been miscly deported “that would not have” “”.

Mr. Ábrego García was part of more than 250 Venezoles and Salvadorans, who were deported to a mega prison in March under Trump in El Salvador, as part of what the white house was as a procedure against foreign criminals. Mr. Ábrego García was then moved to another facility.

Nayib Bukele, President of Salvadora, said in a similar way that he would not send Mr. Ábrego García back to the USA.

In the ABC session, which was broadcast on Tuesday, the interviewer Terry Moran pointed out that Trump could change things with a simple call.

“I could,” the US President replied before he said: “And if he was the Lord who says that he is he, I would do it.”

Trump insisted that the deport tea was not “innocent”, but a member of the notorious Salvadoranian gang MS-13. Mr. Ábrego García denied this.

In a testy exchange, Trump also exhibited his claim that Mr. Ábrego García MS-13 had tattooed on his ankles.

This seemed to be an indication of a picture of Mr. Ábrego García's hand, which was digitally marked and encouraged by the White House to explain the importance of several symbols that were colored on the fingers of the man.

Experts who previously spoken to BBC Verify have received doubts about the claim that these tattoos mean what Trump and his team claim.

The M, S, 1 and 3 seem to have been added to the picture previously shown by Trump – since they do not appear in other pictures of Mr. Abrego Garcia's hands.

From ABC questioned whether his administration complied with the order of the Supreme Court to facilitate Mr. Ábrego García's return, Trump pointed out that he had primarily illegally entered the United States.

According to court documents, Mr. Abrego Garcia recognized in 2012 to illegally enter the United States from El Salvador. But in 2019 he was given an order that prevents the US government from sending him back.

Trump also referred to an assertion of physical abuse against Mr. Ábrego García. At the beginning of this month, Mr. Ábrego García's wife said that she was not followed by legal proceedings against her husband and appealed to him to be brought home.

Customs and “signal gate”

The interview marked 100 days of his second term in the White House, which was also celebrated in a big speech in Michigan von Trump on Tuesday evening.

In conversation with ABC, Trump defended his broader attitude towards immigration and stood his plan for far -reaching trade tariffs that caused turbulence on the global financial markets.

He insisted that his plan for taxes on imports of goods to the USA would deliver more “great times” than difficult times while asked the Americans for a “transition period”.

He also emphasized that he had confidence in his Defense Minister Pete Hegseth after reporting on the use of Hegseth's use of group chats in the signal app for the discussion of sensitive military operations. However, he stopped saying that it was absolutely.

When asked whether he has 100% trust in his civil servants, he said: “I don't have 100% trust in anything.” He called it a “stupid question”.
