Summary

On Monday, Donald Trump met with El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele, and in an act of true infamy, the two authoritarian leaders collectively agreed that wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia will not be returned to the United States. And in a series of vile rants, Trump clearly telegraphed his intention to defy the Supreme Court, which has directed the administration to facilitate his return. We talked to Asawin Suebsaeng, a senior political reporter at Rolling Stone magazine and an adjunct journalism professor at the University of Cincinnati, who has been reporting on the Trump team’s plans to ramp up the lawless deportations and defy the high court. He explains what he’s learned about Trump’s true long-term intentions, which he terms “horrifying.” Looking for More from the DSR Network?

I'm your host, Greg Sargent. By now you've heard that on Monday, President Donald Trump met with Naib Buckele, the president of El Salvador.

In an act of true infamy, the two fellow authoritarian leaders collectively agreed with one another that Kilmar

Abrago-Garcia will not be returned to the United States. This, even though the U.S. has admitted

1:01.3

that Abrago-Garcia's removal to El Salvador was illegal. That was bad enough, but the specifics of

1:08.4

their whole discussion made the whole thing into a truly extraordinary display of lawlessness.

1:14.1

We're going to work through all of this with Asoen Sub-Sung, a senior political reporter at Rolling Stone magazine

and an adjunct journalism professor at the University of Cincinnati. He has a new piece arguing that

To catch everyone up, Abrago Garcia, who originally had a form of

1:46.3

protection in the U.S. known as withholding from removal, could not be deported to El Salvador,

but the Trump administration did just that, claiming an administrative error. The Supreme Court has

1:58.2

ruled that Trump must facilitate his return to the U.S. while sending the

case back to a lower court to define precisely what the administration must do to effectuate this
