US EditionRubio leading negotiations with Bukele on returning migrants
- In 2025, Marco Rubio, serving as the U.S. Secretary of State, is actively involved in negotiations aimed at facilitating the return of Cristian, a Venezuelan migrant who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, back to the United States.
- The deportation occurred under the Alien Enemies Act, and a federal judge ordered Cristian's return after finding the removal violated a court order protecting him as an unaccompanied minor seeking asylum.
- Cristian, 20 years old, is held at El Salvador's maximum-security prison CECOT, where about 300 men were sent under a U.S.-El Salvador agreement, with the U.S. Paying up to $15 million for detention services.
- Judge Stephanie Gallagher sharply condemned the Trump administration for failing to fulfill her directive, while the State Department notes that Rubio is directly managing talks with El Salvador due to his extensive diplomatic background and close rapport with President Bukele.
- Rubio’s efforts to repatriate Cristian, requested by Homeland Security, could challenge the administration’s prior claim that El Salvador had custody over hundreds of deported migrants and may influence related cases like Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return.
