Secretary of State Marco Rubio is apparently aware of the national controversy surrounding Kilmar Abrego García, whom the Trump administration improperly sent to a Salvadoran prison but isnt trying to bring back.
-snip-
Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested that the Trump administration was not bound to follow court orders to return Kilmar Abrego García from El Salvador, saying that no court in the United States has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States. ... I dont understand what the confusion is, Rubio said. This individual is a citizen of El Salvador. He was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country.
Right off the bat, the idea that the federal courts are powerless on matters of foreign policy is bizarre.
But more specifically, in the García case, I dont understand what it is Rubio doesnt understand. A federal court ruled that García must not be sent to El Salvador. A variety of Trump administration officials, including the Trump-appointed solicitor general, have already admitted that it was a mistake to send him to the country.

He always looks like he wishes the floor would open up & swallow him.
