According to two people familiar with the matter, the Trump administration has been in contact with El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele in recent days.
The nature of the discussion and its purpose are unclear, as several Trump officials said the administration is not interested in his return to the United States despite the U.S. Supreme Court order to "promote" the release of Ábrego GoGarcía.
The people said that after Buckler refused to publicize, contacts did not produce new developments. The Supreme Court has ordered the government to return Ábrego García to the United States so that he will face immigration lawsuits if he is not sent to El Salvador.
Discussions appear to be the Trump administration’s efforts to dress up windows for fundamental legal cases and established a note before U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, who previously ruled that Donald Trump raised the matter in the Oval Office inadequate.
Since the Supreme Court's ruling, the government has tried to make statements around or otherwise, and Ábrego García has moved out of Cecot from Cecot (called the terrorist incarceration center) known as the terrorist detention center.
As senior Trump advisers are increasingly determined to use it as a test of the president's power, and the courts have no practical ways to ensure quick compliance with orders, the stubbornness of the U.S. government to comply with the U.S. government has been going on for weeks.
At a cabinet meeting Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would "never tell" whether he was in touch with Bukele. CNN reported earlier that Rubio had a discussion with Bukele directly. The New York Times reported that a diplomatic bill was sent to Buckler.
"I will never tell you. You know who else I will never tell the judge," Rubio said as he sat next to Trump, adding: "Because the behavior of our foreign policy belongs to the President's United States and the Executive, not some judges."
The U.S. President himself said in an interview with ABC News that he said he "can" tell El Salvador to return to Ábrego GoGarcía.
Trump leaned towards responsibility when he asked him that he had the ability to call Buckler and said “send him back immediately.” "I'm not the one who made this decision. We have lawyers who don't want to do that," he said.

The remarks could cause a major headache for the Justice Department in court as it prepares to face a series of issues, written and testimony from Ábrego GoGarcía's lawyers in the coming weeks, about the government's efforts to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling.
Trump said his lawyer told him not to call Berkler, which could open the department to weaken questions about whether they intentionally violated the order and placed them in the threat of contempt.
After a closed-door hearing in the federal district court in Maryland on Wednesday, Sinis rejected the Justice Department's request to stop the suspension in the discovery lawsuit, ordering it to answer questions from Ábregogo García's attorneys for the detention of Friday.
Sinis also said that in the rapid deposition timeline, Ábrego García's lawyers can interview up to six government officials - including senior ICE official Robert Cerna and acting general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security - next Thursday.
