President Donald Trump said in an interview with ABC News on Tuesday that he "could" have Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the U.S. with one phone call, even though the administration has argued in court that the government has no ability to get him back.

The administration has suggested it couldn’t get Abrego García returned even if it wanted to. Trump just blew that up.

President Donald Trump says he “could” bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador if he wanted to. But he insists the 29-year-old Salvadoran, who had been living in Maryland and is married to an American citizen, is a member of the violent MS-13 gang and the kind of person who should not be allowed to live in the United States.
