00:00You listen to President Trump and the Trump administration, you would think that the U.S. courts have found that Mr. Abrego-Garcia is part of MS-13.
00:14But in fact, they have not found that.
00:17In fact, recently a U.S. federal court judge said that the Trump administration did not have evidence to support the claim that he had ever been part of MS-13.
00:26In fact, an immigration judge found years ago that it would put his life in danger if he was returned to El Salvador.
00:37And so he was given protective status and a work permit.
00:42So I asked the vice president if Abrego-Garcia has not committed a crime and the U.S. courts have found that he was illegally taken from the United States.
00:56And the government of El Salvador has no evidence that he was part of MS-13.
01:04Why is El Salvador continuing to hold him in Seacott?
01:08And his answer was that the Trump administration is paying El Salvador, the government of El Salvador, to keep him at Seacott.
