Bondi says US presented El Salvador with arrest warrant for Abrego Garcia
Attorney General Pam Bondi spoke briefly with the press after it was announced that Kilmar Abrego Garcia had been returned from the U.S. from an El Salvadorian prison.
"Our government presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him to our country," she said.
Bondi said if Abrego Garcia is convicted of the charges, upon the completion of his sentence he will be deported back to his home country of El Salvador.
A reporter asked Bondi about what circumstances have changed since Abrego Garcia was pulled over in that 2021 traffic stop in Tennessee where he was not taken into custody.
"What has changed is Donald Trump is now President of the United States, and our borders are again secure, and thanks to the bright light that has been shined on Abrego Garcia," she said
