El Salvador President Nayib Bukele told reporters during a meeting with President Trump that he would not return an alleged MS-13 gang member deported to his country.
“How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it,” Bukele said.
“The question is preposterous. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States,” he continued.
