The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.

Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.

A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.

    You could be next. Meet your neighbors. Organize. arm yourself. You have allowed a dictator to take control of your country. He will not let it go without a literal fight.

      A friend of mine, who is a white female so white she’s virtually translucent, with red hair and blue eyes had a child with a South American Native 20 years ago. Their daughter looks like a South American Native. No trace of her mother’s heritage. My friend is terrified.

      My ex-girlfriends daughter did the same 5 or 6 years ago. Same result. They’re terrified, also.

          Oh so they’re stopping this then, right?

          Outsider perspective 2nd amendment is a joke, the only thing it guarantees is a disproportionate level of gun crime and perpetuates a police culture of kill or be killed.
