El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele released a damning video Thursday that shreds the narrative surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant who claimed he was tortured in Salvadoran prison after being deported by the Trump administration.
Far from the abuse he alleged in court filings, the video shows Abrego Garcia gardening, playing soccer, fishing, watching TV, lifting weights, and laughing with other inmates — all inside El Salvador’s high-security CECOT anti-terrorism prison.
“If he’d been tortured, sleep-deprived, and starved, why does he look so well in every picture?” Bukele wrote on X. “Why would he gain weight? Why are there no bruises, or even dark circles under his eyes?”
The footage shows Abrego healthy, energetic, and smiling, even during a meeting with U.S. Senator Van Hollen, who Bukele says personally confirmed the man seemed fine.
Apparently, anything a criminal claims is accepted as truth by the mainstream media and the crumbling Western judiciary.
But the man wasn’t tortured, nor did he lose weight. In fact, photos show he gained weight while in detention. There’s plenty of footage from different days,… pic.twitter.com/PzvLcCNzrK
