Welcome to the Beat. I'm Ari Melbourne. Our top story tonight is about the fate of this man, Kilmar Abrago Garcia,

who has been stuck in a foreign prison where the Supreme Court already ruled he should not be.

And where the Trump administration admits, when you look at this type of treatment of prisoners there,

that this is something that's happening

to him by the Trump folks admit was a mistake, that he was mistakenly sent there.

And our top story is about how that country's leader now, El Salvador President Buckele,

is helping President Trump effectively defy the new Supreme Court decision. Now, the story, if you follow the news,

you've probably heard about it, has been consuming the United States as a flashpoint in Trump's

aggressive deportation efforts, including those that they admit are mistaken. But as you see on your

screen, that long-running story ran right into the White House scheduled today, these two men

meeting. And El Salvador is following Trump's playbook and echoing his administration's claim

that now this matter is and must only be they claim up to El Salvador. In other words,

while the Supreme Court ruled against Trump and said he must follow a judge's lower court ruling,

it basically requires the man's return.

I can get into the details on the wording on that in a minute, but it basically said you have to return him out of this mistake sent to a foreign prison he shouldn't be in.

But Trump's aides want to hide behind El Salvador and claim they suddenly have no power to do

anything about this. So before I show you more of what happened today, and we will show you what people

are saying, including the administration, I want to give you, as we try to do around here, the facts

and evidence. That claim that there's nothing they can do, and it's up to El Salvador, is legally weak

because administrations

often face court rulings requiring diplomacy or foreign policy work to write a wrong.

And I'm showing you Trump with the tariff sign because it is factually dubious.
