Who is Kilmar Abrego Garcia and what is the issue of wrongful deportation?

Jon Stewart 1:08
As you know, we've been following the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, undocumented migrant from El Salvador, married an American woman, has a kid, living the American dream. Until the Trump administration sent him to an El Salvadorian mega prison by, and I'm quoting the Justice Department here, if I may, is an administrative error.
Jon Stewart 1:42
What?
Jon Stewart 1:57
Saints be praised. Bukele can just give Garcia a ride. You don't even have to give Garcia the middle seat. I'm sure Garcia would just grab the wing and Tom Cruise it over here if he had to. But sadly, Bukele arrived at the White House with just the Miami club promoter clothes on his back and a pocket full of excuses.

How does the Trump administration handle the deportation controversy?

News Reporter 2:20
Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return him? How can I disembowel a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States.
Jon Stewart 2:29
You know, can I honestly tell you, like, this isn't even, the thing that's, like, they're f***ing enjoying this. Like, the two of them. Our president, their president, I guess we'll just have to let him rot in a prison even though he didn't deserve to be there. I don't, you guys don't care about this guy. I'm talking about these two, but somebody else cares about this person. And you just randomly, with no evidence that you'll show anybody, called him a terrorist. And one of the weirder parts about this is the thing, the only thing that seems to upset Trump about the entire situation is having to answer a perfectly reasonable question from Caitlin Collins about it.
News Reporter 3:11
You said that if the Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago. And they said that it must be facilitated.
Ramy Youssef 3:20
Why don't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country? Why can't you just say that? Why do you go over and over? And that's why nobody watches you anymore.
Jon Stewart 3:33
Nag, nag, nag. You sound just like the Supreme Court. Nag, nag. But fear not, America. For every time a lamestream media journalist gets shunned, an ass-kissy one gets its wings.
News Reporter 3:45
Do you have a question, please? Mr. President, thank you so much. You scored another major investment win this morning when NVIDIA pledged to build its AI supercomputer for the first time ever right here in the United States.
Jon Stewart 3:58
Thank you. That's a question I like. That's true. Yeah, that's not a question. I guess it's your favorite kind of question, a compliment. But rest easy, Americans, if there's one thing we all know. It's that first they come for the undocumented migrants. And as long as nobody speaks out, they stop.
News Reporter 4:19
You mentioned that you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens, brought criminals to El Salvador. Does that include potentially U.S. citizens, fully naturalized Americans?
Ramy Youssef 4:30
If it's a homegrown criminal, I have no problem. I'm talking about really bad people, really bad people.
Jon Stewart 4:38
He's going to do that to U.S. citizens. I think the hosts of The View are about to get administratively errored. I got to tell you, I did not think he would get this authoritarian this fast. I really didn't. I'm sorry. Who could have known? Maybe if somebody out there had yelled at me on blue sky about this, I would have known. But no one did. Except every day. In all caps.
Jon Stewart 5:42
So... So if Trump can put up a monster authoritarian score... You know what? Let's do this Dave Portnoy style. One clip. Everybody knows the rules. By the way, the greatest pizza reviews in the history of pizza. If you guys like pizza. For me, it's like watching porn. We already know... Trump's done a lot of the standard fare.
