Of course, Abrego Garcia is there because a) we sent him there b) not merely as a returnee to ES to wander around and for Bukele to try or jail or whatever but c) specifically that he be imprisoned there, for which we are paying, and apparently retain control over the "final disposition."
It should also be noted that the lawyer did not make the admission on behalf of the government, an ICE Agent did, by sworn declaration.
