Episode notes
Wrongful Imprisonment
- Kilmer Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man with protected status, was mistakenly sent to El Salvador's CECOT prison.
- President Bukele refuses to return him, falsely labeling him a terrorist, despite a Supreme Court order.
CECOT's Purpose
- The U.S. and El Salvador are effectively arguing that anyone sent to CECOT will never leave alive.
- This is intentional, as CECOT is designed for permanent disappearance, and releasing anyone would expose its horrors.
Miller's Misinformation
- Stephen Miller falsely claims Garcia is an MS-13 member and that the Supreme Court ruled against his return.
- He argues that no version of this situation ends with Garcia living in the U.S., revealing the administration's goal.
