“I understand that I have understood the presentation of official reports of our Embassy in San Salvador that Abrego García is currently at the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador,” said Michael Kozak, a senior official of the State Department office, in a statement presented on Saturdays minutes after the deadline of the 5 pm established by the judge.
“He is alive and sure in that installation,” Kozak added. “He is detained in accordance with the sovereign domestic authority of El Salvador.”
The Supreme Court had ordered the United States government to “facilitate” the return of Abrego García to America.
