00:00Hi, this is Congressman Glenn Ivey. I'm really astonished and disappointed that

00:04the Trump administration continues to refuse to bring back Mr. Garcia from El

00:09Salvador. You know, it's clear that the government made a mistake. In fact, they

00:14admitted it. So he's being held illegally. The government has the

00:18authority to bring him back. President Trump can use the extradition authority

00:23the United States have or use the contractual relationship that we have

00:27with El Salvador. We're paying them $6 million. We can get him back

00:31whenever we want. I'm at this point, I'm just assuming that they're scared to

00:35bring him back because they'll have to go to court and explain all of the false

00:38statements that they've apparently made about him. So we'll just keep pushing.

00:43We'll keep fighting. We'll keep pressuring the Trump administration, the attorney

00:46general, the secretary of state and others to do the right thing, bring him

00:51back. So he gets the day in court that the Supreme Court said that he should

00:54have. Take care.
