Schumer Blasts Bukele Comments, Calls On Trump Administration To Return Kilmar Abrego Garcia To United States

New York, N.Y. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement condemning the Trump administration’s gross violation of due process and demanding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States:

“President Bukele’s comment today is pure nonsense. The law is clear, due process was grossly violated, and the Supreme Court has clearly spoken that the Trump administration must facilitate and effectuate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He should be returned to the U.S. immediately. 

“Due process and the rule of law are cornerstones of American society for citizens and noncitizens alike and not to follow that is dangerous and outrageous. A threat to one is a threat to all.”
