Trump Appears Unaware Supreme Court Ruled 9-0 Against Him: 'That's Not What My People Told Me'

President Donald Trump claims his lawyers have told him that the Supreme Court's ruling on Kilmar Abrego Garcia does not mean he needs to bring back the man accidentally deported to an El Salvador megaprison.

In an interview with TIME, the president was asked about the Supreme Court's 9-0 order telling the administration to facilitate the return of Garcia. The administration has maintained that Garcia is an MS-13 gang member despite no prior convictions and their admission that he was sent to El Salvador by mistake.

Asked if he's "disobeying" the Supreme Court order, Trump said, "That's not what my people told me - they didn't say it was, they said it was - the nine to nothing was entirely different."

The ruling states: "The order properly requires the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador."

"I leave that to my lawyers," Trump said when asked if he is actively facilitating Garcia's return. "I give them no instructions. They feel that the order said something very much different from what you're saying. But I leave that to my lawyers. If they want - and that would be Attorney General of the United States and the people that represent the country. I don't make that decision."

Trump went on to say that El Salvador President Nayib Bukele will not return Garcia, but he said he has not directly asked him and he would not do so unless his advisers told him to.


So he's trying to pass the buck off to his staff just in case.

I was right.

There are openings at the DOJ for new attorneys. You have to pass a loyalty test and legal reasoning and writing are a plus but not necessary. You better have a plan b when the judge holds you in contempt or Trump fires you for telling the truth.
