All right, welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta Show. I am live in New York City. I'm at the

Theater 555, the site of tonight's live town hall that I'm going to be doing with Michael

Cohen, Don Lemon, Tara Setmeyer, Olivia Troy, and a special comedian guest, bat friend.

And I, gosh, I don't want to forget, Harry Dunn, one of our heroes

of January 6th, who has been fighting the good fight on behalf of all those law enforcement officers

who defended the Capitol that day. He's going to be there as well. As you can see with me right

now, we've got a lot of news to talk about, and I've got a guest, newsmaker guest book today,

and that is Texas Democratic Congressman

Joaquin Castro.

A congressman, great to see you, as always.

Thanks for coming on.

Good to see you.

Yeah, great to be with you, Joe.

And I guess we should just jump right into it because apparently a federal judge in Maryland

is expected to question the Trump administration today about its continued refusal.

This is according to the Associated Press to retrieve Kilmar Abrago Garcia from an El Salvador

prison, even though the Supreme Court ordered his return to the U.S.

I mean, we saw what took place in the Oval Office yesterday.

It was obviously very much a dog and pony show.

This was a setup.

You saw Trump. You saw the El Salvador and President Buckele. You saw various administration officials, the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. They're all basically saying, gosh, you know, we're just the United States. What can we do? We can't get him back. It's up to El Salvador. What did you make of all that?

Yeah, I mean, it was really chilling to see the president of the United States sit there with this rogue Latin American leader and claim to be absolutely powerless when it comes to getting Kilmar back.
