(DCNF)—El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said on Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump that he will not return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13, to the U.S. following his deportation.
Trump’s administration has maintained that Garcia, an El Salvadoran national, should be detained in El Salvador due to his alleged ties to MS-13 and previous deportation orders from 2019. Following legal battles over the deportation, Bukele confirmed to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in the Oval Office that he does not have the power to “smuggle” a foreign terrorist into the U.S.
“I suppose you’re suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States,” Bukele said. “How can I smuggle, how can I return him to the United States, like I smuggle him into the United States? Of course, I’m not going to do it. I mean, 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. We’re not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country. But you just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country of the western hemisphere and you want us to go back into releasing criminals so we can go back to being the murder capital of the world? That’s not gonna happen.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Garcia, who unlawfully entered the U.S. in 2011, on March 12 and deported him to his native country, according to court documents. The Trump administration acknowledged that Garcia’s deportation was a clerical error, though they have pointed to documents provided by Prince George’s County Police Department, which detailed Garcia’s alleged gang name and rank, to argue that he should remain in El Salvador.
A judge granted Garcia protected status known as “withholding of removal” in October 2019 after determining that he would likely be persecuted by gangs if deported back to El Salvador, according to the court documents. He settled in Maryland, married American citizen Jennifer Vasquez Sura and has one child.
The administration challenged an order directed by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama-appointed judge, who ruled Garcia’s return to the U.S. must be effectuated. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts halted the judge’s order in an April 7 ruling, stating that the U.S. cannot “compel El Salvador to follow a federal judge’s bidding.”
The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled on Thursday that the U.S. should “facilitate” the return of Garcia, and directed the lower court to clarify its order.
“The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs,” the order states. “For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.”
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said on “America’s Newsroom” Monday that if El Salvador voluntarily sent Garcia back, he would be placed back into the hands of ICE and deported to a different country. He further said that an immigration judge’s holding order on Garcia’s deportation in 2019 is invalid since since he is allegedly a member of a foreign terrorist organization.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
