Donald Trump says he had no role in bringing mistakenly deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States, telling NBC News the decision was made solely by the Justice Department and not him personally.

“That wasn’t my decision,” Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker in an interview Saturday. “It should be a very easy case,” he reportedly added. “I think it should be.”

Trump also said he did not speak with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele about Abrego Garcia’s return before it went down on Friday, per Welker. The 29-year-old El Salvador native was transported back to the U.S. to be federally charged with two counts of illegally transporting undocumented migrants into the country. It was the DOJ that reportedly signed off on the move after “new facts” came to light following Abrego Garcia’s deportation.

Bullshit. After immigration has acted so unethically, violating human rights, American law and the constitution, who’s going to believe there is suddenly evidence of really anytihing.

This deserves serious jail time of everyone who violated the law and basic human rights all the way up the line and down the line. Everything about this case is tainted and he deserves a huge judgement for violated human rights.

And if Trump is lying, there should be a huge personal defamation judgement too. Also a human rights judgement. Either Trump was lying and violated his rights or Trump did nothing in response to his rights being violated. It’s hard to see this losing in a just trial
