President Trump Oval Office meeting with El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele
President Trump welcomed El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele to the White House on Monday.
In an Oval Office meeting, Bukele said he will not return alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadorian national who was illegally residing in Maryland. In 2019, an immigration judge ordered Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the dangerous MS-13 gang, removed from the US.
Abrego Garcia is currently being held at El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Bukele if he plans to return Abrego Garcia after an Obama judge ordered him to be released from the CECOT prison and brought to the US.
“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” Bukele told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in the Oval Office on Monday.

The US Supreme Court last Thursday ordered the US to facilitate the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose deportation was previously blocked by a judge over his safety concerns. However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump’s DOJ argued that “federal courts have no authority to direct the Executive Branch to conduct foreign relations in a particular way or engage with a foreign sovereign in a given manner,” and that they cannot forcibly take the individual back or force El Salvador to return him.
On Friday, US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis set a new hearing in the case of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia after the Supreme Court ruled the US must facilitate his return from El Salvador.

The US Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the US to “facilitate” the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Judge Xinis slammed the Trump Administration during Friday’s hearing and demanded ‘daily updates’ on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts.
The judge said the Trump Admin has made “no meaningful effort to comply” with her order demanding the physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia.
The judge demanded daily updates on Abrego Garcia.
Trump’s DOJ hit back over the weekend said Judge Xinis did not clarify what “facilitate” meant as the Supreme Court ordered her to do so DOJ lawyers explained what it means in immigration.
Trump said he doesn’t need to ask El Salvador to do anything and Bukele made it clear on Monday that he was not going to smuggle a terrorist into the US

The FBI Knew All Along
By Jack Cashill
You do not have to wade far into the recently declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents to be shocked. I had only read three pages of the FBI’s December 19, 2016 interview with the DoJ’s Bruce Ohr before learning just how early in the game the FBI brass knew that the Steele dossier was worthless.
In the way of background, on July 31, 2016, the FBI launched its counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign, codenamed “Crossfire Hurricane.” FBI agent Peter Strzok was assigned to head it up.
If the goal was to cripple Trump regardless of the evidence, Strzok was the man for the job. “Damn this feels momentous,” he texted his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page, upon getting the assignment. Two weeks later he explained to Page his motives. “There’s no way [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” he texted her. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”
Ohr played a curious role in the whole affair. He served as unofficial DoJ contact with the notorious Christopher Steele, the author of the eponymous Steele dossier. According to Ohr, the two met for breakfast on the same day the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane. Steele wanted to discuss some “serious stuff” involving low-level Trump adviser Carter Page.

P.S. We knew they knew, but now we are allowed to talk about it as the hard evidence is coming out.
Don’t Trust Me, I’m a Doctor
By Brian C. Joondeph
“Trust me, I’m a doctor” is a humorous expression that suggests one’s opinion should be accepted without question, regardless of whether the person offering the opinion has actual medical expertise or experience.
The assumption is that physicians are knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy. At one time, few would have questioned that assumption.
