TOThe Ritantía and the disdain for the most basic rights were exhibited in the White House on Monday, April 14, since the president of the United States warmly received his Salvadoran counterpart. Donald Trump owed this courtesy to Nayib Bukele, who has joined the migrants that Binculing opened their prisons to migrants as members of gangs and expelled by the United States. These expulsions were carried out under a law of 1798 previously used only in times of war.
The fight against immigration, especially illegal immigration, was a driving force behind Trump’s re -election. It was significant for the slow response of the Democratic field to the growing frustration of Americans on the subject. Although the commercial war of the Republican president has undermined the confidence of its citizens in what was ever considered its strong economic decision making, it can point out the strong decrease in illegal entries and the first expulsions of undocumented individual. The bets are substantial, so this problem has become a source of fierce friction between the Judiciary and the Government.
For Trump, legal procedures and judicial decisions are unimportant. Kilmar Abrego García, a Salvadoran who legally resides in the United States, embodies this intention to submit the law to numerical policy. Brutally arrested on March 15 in Maryland, although there are no charges against him, and immediately transferred to a Salvadoran penitentiary challenging the order of a federal judge, now he runs the risk that language there for a long time. Under pressure, US authorities have had to recognize their mistake, but they refuse to rectify it.
Striking cynicism
The highest judicial authority in the United States, the Supreme Court, unanimously requested on April 10 that the “facilitation” of the US administration of Abrego García, recognizing that H had been incorrectly transferred to El Salvador. The US administration changed responsibility for saving sovereignty, and Bukele, in the Oval Office of the White House, told journalists that he did not have the power to return us to Abrego García.
This statement was a surprising sample of cynicism, given the state of exception imposed on this small Central American country on behalf of the fight against the devastating violence that has characterized it for a long time. Worshiped by the American right and many of Trump’s associates, Bukele has achieved undeniable results in crime reduction and enjoys a popular level that allowed him to ensure a second mandate in 2024, prohibited the theoretical. The price is the authoritarian rule that now operates beyond any form of supervision. This model was honored in the White House on Monday.
The case of Abrego García demonstrates the intention of the Trump administration to carry out expulsions without any due process or responsibility for the consequences. It is a deliberate and alarm challenge to the rule of law on which the United States was founded.
