Bill O’Reilly Warns Trump He’s ‘Making a Mistake’ By Alienating Supreme Court and Not Bringing Back Kilmar Garcia
Bill O’Reilly warned President Donald Trump’s administration that they are “making a mistake” by not bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States despite a Supreme Court order.
O’Reilly argued on his No Spin News that the president could be alienating the Supreme Court by not returning Garcia. The administration previously admitted Garcia was deported to an El Salvador megaprison by error, but they have refused to facilitate his return and insisted he is an MS-13 gang member despite no gang-related convictions.
The former Fox News host said:
The man who was deported to El Salvador, Mr. Garcia, who the left has adopted as this martyr. He’s not a U.S. citizen. He’s a Salvadoran citizen who snuck into this country illegally. Now he is in the system here because he did claim asylum so they should bring him back. I’ve said that quite clearly. The Trump administration is making a mistake not bring the man back because the Supreme Court wants the man back. And if I’m President Trump, I don’t want to alienate the Supreme Court. Period.
In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the administration needs to “facilitate” the return of Garcia, who is an illegal migrant who lived more than a decade in Maryland. In an interview with TIME, Trump claimed that his lawyers have told him he is not “disobeying” the Supreme Court’s order.
The order stated the government needed to “facilitate and effectuate the return of [Abrego Garcia] to the United States by no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, April 7.”
“I leave that to my lawyers,” the president said. “I give them no instructions. They feel that the order said something very much different from what you’re saying. But I leave that to my lawyers. If they want — and that would be Attorney General of the United States and the people that represent the country. I don’t make that decision.”
O’Reilly believes Garcia likely has an affiliation with the MS-13 gang, but urged the administration to let that be proven by the Justice Department before labeling him a gang member and shipping him off.
“I believe he is probably affiliated with that gang and the reason I believe it is because authorities caught him in Tennessee with a bunch of undocumenteds in a van and the authorities in Tennessee did not charge Garcia with anything, but they caught him,” he said. “So he’s not some guy cutting the lawn on Saturday in Maryland, but let the Justice Department prove it and then you boot him.”
