SALVADORAN PRESIDENT NAYIB BUKELE CHOOSES ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL "PUNK" RATHER THAN A LEADER IN THE WAR ON DRUGS

 UPDATE:  I so hate the press.  I should not have to read the same story in 8 reports to learn the key fact concerning the return of Garcia to the US from El Salvador.

International Punk Nayib Bukele put the burden on Trump in order to return GARCIA   to the US. "Bukele said. "I don't have the power to return him to the United States. We're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country."

""How can I return him to the United States? I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous,"

Yes, but what if the State Department requests his return?  The US makes demand on any number of countries for the return of wrongfully held US citizens.  If Marco Rubio makes the request and in fact authorization for Garcia's return, Garcia will be on the next plane.

For more than 30 years my position on the war on drugs has been, it is a war, not merely some criminal enterprise.  Treating those in a war against your country and people as mere criminals is a crime in and of itself. 

I have been a strong supporter of Nayib Bukele until today.  I am not changing my mind about past events based on new events.

I dare anyone to compare a prison in Texas to the main prison in El Salvador.  The inside of the Salvadoran facility is spotless.  It is not filled with graffiti.  The floors and walls are spotless.  The cells are spotless.  This is a sign of control and discipline. There is zero evidence any group other than the guards control the prison.  There is zero evidence of any sub-group carrying out murder against select other inmates.

There are Texas inmates who would love to be in El Salvador's main prison if for no other reason than safety.

Bukele has turned El Salvador's economy around.  The people are no long fleeing to the US.  In fact, the children of many of the past refugees are returning to El Salvador to start new businesses.

SO WHY AM I NOW NO LONGER A SUPPORTER OF BUKELE?

This morning, I considered posting a ponder if Bukele would bring back Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the wrongfully deported man to El Salvador. I was so wrong to even ponder such an act of good faith.  Nayeb Bukele missed a great opportunity to gain more support in the US.  President Trump lost any hope of the Supreme Court siding with him in deporting anyone else to El Salvador.  Now mind me, Trump will continue to deport people to El Salvador, but the question is how the Supreme Court will handle Trump's actions will.

Trump proved himself the fool.  Now that he is publicly saying he cannot facilitate the return of anyone wrongfully deported to El Salvador, he is in fact telling the Supreme Court he will continue to wrongfully deport people.  With this clear message the Supreme Court can issue an order barring deportation flights to countries unwilling to return wrongfully deported people. 

Nayeb Bukele had the opportunity to prove himself a true leader on the war on drugs but instead chose the role of "International Punk."  Howe sad for the future of the people of El Salvador. He is going down a path of lawlessness where his opponents will begin to disappear.
