It was one of the best animation issues for the White House race that made Trump in power.
Now, the Trump administration repels hard while its expulsion efforts that have dominated the country’s agenda in the last three months are facing its biggest test so far.

His team was quick to turn criticism, even to plan A makeshift press conference With the mother of a woman from Maryland killed by a Salvadoran.
The question of expulsion has exploded in recent weeks in the midst of questions on the Trump administration tactics and those targeted for withdrawal. TERM-Limity of the race againTrump does dramatic movements on immigration in its second administration. He tries to put a lasting imprint on a problem that has disorder presidents And Congress Throughout the 21st century. The way the fight takes place could have an impact on electoral participation in mid-term elections in 2026 and how the two parties deal with the question for the years to come.
“If you are an elected representative, this is a place where you want to take a stand,” said Mark Bednar, GOP strategist and former republican leadership assistant. “It is an important electoral space for the Republicans.”
“One of the main reasons why I was elected”
A certain number of expulsion in recent weeks have captured the nation and the world, in particular Andry José HernandezA gay venezuelan maker who was sent to the mega prison of El Salvador, and foreign students who If their visas have been dismissed below controversial circumstances.
The case of Abrego Garcia attracted the most notoriety, however. The father of Maryland and the sheets were sent to the same Supermax prison in Salvador as Hernandez, where alleged members of the MS-13 and Tren of Aragua criminal gangs are detained.
A lower court said that Greo Garcia was wrongly expelled and that the Supreme Court judge April 10 that the Trump administration must facilitate its return to the United States.
“Kilmar has been kidnapped illegally and expelled by the Trump administrator. He must be brought home now,” Van Hollen said on social networks.
Trump administration officials were provocative by reducing the dial on deportation criticism through social networks and press conferences and slamming democrats who call into question the legality and morality of certain deportation movements.
“First and foremost, he was illegally in our country”, the American prosecutor general Bondi said about Abrego Garcia during Trump April 14 Meeting of the White House With President Salvadoran Nayib Bukele. She added that turning it “at the height of the Salvador”.
The president then turned to the best adviser Stephen Miller, a chief architect of the administration’s immigration policies, to answer a question about the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States
“He is a citizen of El Salvador, so he is very arrogant even for the American media to suggest that we will even say to El Salvador how to manage their own citizens,” said Miller.
After Van Hollen made the trip For El Salvador, Leavitt invited the mother of a woman from Maryland who was killed by a man from El Salvador to speak to the White House, evoking the country events of Trump, who often presented family members of individuals killed by undocumented migrants. The brother of the woman killed spoken to the National Republican Convention Last summer in Milwaukee.
With the press conference, the White House sought to highlight a crime committed by a migrant who came to the country without authorization. Although Greo Garcia is not an American citizen, a The federal judge granted him a protection order allowing him to stay in the country. Abrego Garcia arrived in the United States in 2011 after fled El Salvador to escape persecution by gangs, according to court documents.
The Trump administration says that Greo Garcia is a member of MS -13 – a complaint that an American district judge said that the administration had not provided support, according to Documents.
Trump has reported questions about the Abrego Garcia case to administration lawyers when he asked him about the oval office on April 17, and he pivoted his immigration policies.
“We are doing a fantastic job to get the criminals out of this country,” said the president, adding that the application of immigration was “one of the main reasons why I was elected”.
“This is what the public wanted and that’s what I do,” added Trump.
“The constitutional crisis is there”
Democrats have jumped on recent deportation efforts to portray Trump as without law.
“The constitutional crisis is there”, Senator Adam Schiff, D-Calif, Published on social networks. “”President Trump disobey the legitimate judicial orders. His advisers and allies encourage him. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a prison in Salvador. »»
Joe Rogan, a popular podcaster who approved Trump, said on his March 29 show that Hernandez’s case is “horrible”.
“You must be afraid that people who are not criminals get, like Lasso, expelled and Sent to prisons from El Salvador“Said Rogan, adding that” innocent gay hairdressers “should not be” grouped with the gangs “.
Trump has long married a hard immigration message, focusing each of his three presidential campaigns on the issue – and the Republicans say that his recent efforts indicate that this is a political fight that the White House wants to have with his opponents.
“Although the terrain may seem a little bumpy, President Trump fights the Democrats on a battlefield of his choice,” said Bednar. “If I were a democrat, that’s not where you want to be.”
Political professor at the University of California, Matthew Beckmann, said that Trump’s deportation plan could generate more opposition as “compromises” become clear.
“Americans who support deportations in the summary can easily find reasons to oppose time, instead or in the manner of expulsion in a given case,” said Beckmann.
