Wrongly deported man not leaving El Salvador prison, Bukele says at Trump meeting
Bukele says at a Trump meeting that a man who was wrongly deported is still in prison in El Salvador. By [Your Name] on April 14, 2025 During a meeting with a prominent former U.S. President Donald Trump and President Nayib Bukele of Salvador made a controversial statement about a man who was allegedly deported from the United States to El Salvador in error. Bukele says that despite growing questions about the legality and morality of his detention, the person in question will not be released from a Salvadoran prison. The primary goal of the meeting, which took place in Florida at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, was to improve economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries. However, after Trump praised Bukele's aggressive crackdown on gangs and crime, immigration and law enforcement quickly came to the forefront. Bukele made a reference to the case of a man who, despite being a resident of the United States and having no serious criminal record, was reportedly deported by mistake by American authorities. Rather than arranging for his release or repatriation, Bukele announced that the man remains in custody under suspicion of ties to criminal networks in El Salvador.
