President Trump stood strong with El Salvador’s leader against liberal media demands to reverse a deportation. During a heated Oval Office exchange, Trump and President Nayib Bukele rejected calls to bring back a man mistakenly sent to El Salvador, highlighting America’s sovereignty and the dangers of weak immigration policies.
Bukele blasted the idea as “preposterous,” asking how he could “smuggle terrorists into the United States.” He emphasized El Salvador’s right to handle its own citizens, especially those tied to violent gangs. Trump backed him, praising Bukele’s success in crushing crime and securing borders.
The showdown came after the Supreme Court ruled the U.S. must “facilitate” the man’s return. But Trump officials called the order a win, arguing courts can’t dictate foreign policy. Attorney General Pam Bondi stressed the deportee entered illegally and was linked to MS-13, a gang Trump labeled a terrorist group.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed Trump on the court order, sparking a fiery clash. Trump mocked CNN’s low ratings, saying they “hate America” and ignore border security wins. Adviser Stephen Miller accused the media of siding with criminals over law-abiding citizens.
The deportee’s lawyers claim he’s innocent, but ICE admitted the mistake while standing by his gang ties. Bukele’s prisons now hold thousands of gang members, slashing El Salvador’s murder rate. Trump praised this model, floating sending U.S. criminals there to save taxpayer money.
Legal experts warn shipping Americans abroad risks constitutional rights, but Trump said he’s “studying the laws.” His partnership with Bukele signals a hardline shift: put predators in foreign cells, not our neighborhoods. The left’s outrage, conservatives argue, proves they care more about criminals than safe streets.
This case exposes the left’s agenda: open borders, coddling gang members, and mocking Trump’s victories. While elites weep over a single deportation, millions suffer from illegal immigration’s chaos. Trump’s message is clear—America comes first, and lawlessness ends now.
The Oval Office standoff wasn’t just about one man. It was a battle for national sovereignty, the rule of law, and the safety of American families. Trump and Bukele showed the world: strong leaders protect their people, no matter what the media screams.
