The Trump administration has defended its decision to deport the man at the center of the nation’s most-debated immigration case so far this year.

This comes after Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) made the trip last week.

The Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation battle did not spark comments—but President Nayib Bukele seemed popular among Salvadorans in the U.S. capital.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele proposed an agreement that would swap gang members deported by the United States with opponents of the Venezuelan regime.

The senator said he would try to arrange a phone call between the deported Salvadoran and his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura.

Authorities inside the country and from abroad have all said that there were no irregularities in the presidential election run off, which was held on April 13.

The outage was by a ‘combination of factors’ according to energy company Luma Energy.

The administration cited El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s remarks at the White House on April 14, which ruled out the man’s return.

White House officials said the deportee is an illegal alien and that El Salvador can decide how to handle him.

Noboa wants the United States to designate several Ecuadorian gangs as terrorist groups, as it has done for cartels in Mexico, El Salvadoran, and Venezuela.

Officials said the two leaders will discuss counterterrorism and other policies in light of a Supreme Court decision ordering the return of one deportee.
