Well, his basic response was that they had this deal with the Trump administration. The Trump administration was paying the government of El Salvador millions of dollars. to detain him and others.

You know, the president of El Salvador has said that, well, he doesn't have the power to smuggle, you know, Kilmar back into the United States. I pointed out to the vice president, we're not asking El Salvador to smuggle him in. We just want them to open the prison gate. And Attorney General Bondi did say the other day that they'd send a plane.

I don't know if that offer still stands, but I want to make that distinction clear. El Salvador is a sovereign country. We don't think that they can, quote, smuggle him back to the United States. But what they can do is open the gates to the prison to somebody who's been illegally detained there.

Well, that's absolutely right. I mean, the first question I asked of the American embassy team here has, has Washington, has the Trump administration given you any instructions to help facilitate his release? And the answer was no.

I have a very strong opinion where they said essentially they backed up the federal district court judge and said that this violation of due process by the Trump administration goes to the very heart and foundation of our constitution, a total violation of the due process rights. And they said, I'm reading here that we, which should be shocking.

All of us to also listen to the Trump administration's claim that since he's already left the country, they have no obligation to get him back. I mean, they admitted they admitted in federal court that they had erroneously abducted him and taken him to another prison.

I think the Trump administration wants to cover up all of their illegal activity and wrongdoing. That can certainly be a part of it. But they're lying through their teeth every day about this case and trying to fool Americans as to what it's about. What this is about is stripping an individual of his rights to due process.
