It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
Internal documents and interviews with people familiar with the operation reveal how the White House seized on a wartime law to accelerate immigrant deportations.
New details deepen questions about the deportations, showing that El Salvador’s president pressed for assurances that the migrants were really members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
President Trump says he is powerless to retrieve a man who was deported because of an administrative error. But he has done so before.
Scholars say that the Trump administration is now flirting with lawless defiance of court orders, a path with an uncertain end.
Once again, the president used the gilded room as a place to flex his executive muscle while recasting the narrative around a consequential policy.
Mr. Trump has found in President Nayib Bukele a willing partner in a plan to step up the removal of migrants from the United States with little or no due process.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that “the alliance” between President Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador had “become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.”
A New York Times review of flight data showed that at the time of a federal judge’s order, two flights were in the air, and one had not yet taken off.
Nayib Bukele’s role in the Trump administration’s deportation strategy signals a new level of power and global visibility for El Salvador’s young leader.
