Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller told reporters on Monday that the government was right to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, to his Central American homeland because he was in the U.S. illegally and there is evidence that he is an MS-13 gang member.
The legal battle reached a new step late last week when the Supreme Court ruled that if El Salvador were to return Garcia, then the United States must facilitate his trip back to the U.S. The ruling did not, however, mean the U.S. had convinced El Salvador to give up Garcia.
"He's an illegal alien from El Salvador. Where was he sent? To El Salvador. Where does he belong? In El Salvador," Miller said, adding that the Latin American country will determine if he should remain in prison or if he should be freed within the country.
"If we deport, say, 100,000 people back to Haiti, should we open a case file for every 100,000 people and ask every day what's their housing situation? What's their health care situation? What might they need? What might they want? ... These people chose to invade us. There's a lot of concern from the corporate media about the invaders. But they chose to invade us. It's our responsibility to return them back to where they came from," he continued.
As for the "mistake" of sending Garcia back to El Salvador while he had a stay on his deportation, Miller explained that the stay was there only because he claimed he was in fear for his life because of the MS-13 gang. Due to President Nayib Bukele's leadership, the gang has reportedly been wiped out and no longer poses a threat to Salvadorans like Garcia.
Once one of the most dangerous countries in the Western Hemisphere, with a "Level 4: Do Not Travel" advisory from the U.S. State Department, El Salvador now has a "Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions" thanks to the major drop in crime.
America haters like CNN don’t want to listen.
Love to listen when Miller talks. He’s so well spoken and to the point. Never any “uhs” or “ya know”.
I watched that and the “reporters” didn’t hear a word he said.
El Salvador’s Bukele Is a China Ally
Rich, given that WSJ is China’s ally.
What are we then? We do far more business than they do with China.
Miller is really good.
Wuli - a 3,000 plus year-old Chinese word that means matter, and it means energy and it means the transubstantiation of matter and energy.

i didnt know that words meaning before, i appreciate your about page.
thank you.
“What are we then?” We’re stupid.
So what? He’s on the right side with this issue.
“Rich, given that WSJ is China’s ally.”
When Murdock bought Dow Jones, parent of the WSJ, its prior Conservative owners did not sell the editorial control of the WSJ opinion section. It remains NOT under the control of the Murdochs.
I would rather be a China ally than an EU ally.
“So what? He’s on the right side with this issue.”
No. He’s only doing it for the money - the my-prison-is-for-hire money.
I like DJT’s pick for press secretary in Leavitt, but I always thought Miller would have been fantastic at the job.
True but we need Miller right where he is.
So what again? He’s on the right side on this issue.
If we can ID these illegals and their home country says they are wanted for crimes they committed there, well then we’d just have no choice but the extradite them, would we?
It wouldn’t be deportation, it would be extradition. Just being a good neighbor.
“killer” garcia feared the 18th st gang
which no longer exists
thanks to Bukele
