The presentation of the United States Department, however, did not address the The judge’s demands May the administration detail what steps he did to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia In the United States.
« It is my understanding based on the official reports of our embassy in San Salvador that Abrego Garcia is currently at the El Salvador terrorism confinement center, » said Michael G. Kozak, a senior official in the State Department, said in the submission of minutes after a period of five in the afternoon established by the judge. « He is alive and safe in this installation. He is detained according to El Salvador’s sovereign and domestic authority. »
Kozak was identified in the presentation as a « senior office official » at the Office of the Western Hemisphere State Department.
On Saturday, President Trump revealed that he would meet with President Salvador, Nayib Bukele, on Monday.

Chinese issued an order after Friday’s sight that required the administration to disseminate the « current physical location and the state of custody » of Garcia and « what steps, if any, the defendants have made (i) that they will do and when, to facilitate » their return.
The Kozak Declaration did not address the judge’s last requirements.
Xinis was exasperated on Friday with the lack of government information.
« Where is he and under whose authority? » Asked the judge in sight. « I do not ask the state secrets. All I know is that it is not here. The government was banned from sending the Salvador, and now I ask a very simple question: Where is it? »
On Thursday the United States Supreme Court said Trump Administration must facilitate the release of Abrego Garcia.
Abrego Garcia, who lives in Maryland with his woman and childrenHe was arrested and transferred to El Salvador last month after Trump’s administration officials accused him of having links to the MS-13 gang.
