Karoline Leavitt says man deported 'belongs in El Salvador'

Press Secretary said Monday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia 'belongs' in El Salvador, following a U.S. deportation that the administration now calls an 'oversight.'

At a press briefing on a day the White House lined the north driveway with posters showing faces of illegal immigrants criminals, Leavitt was asked about the status of Abrego Garcia, who prosecutors at first said was deported due to an 'administrative error.'

The resident, who was in the country illegally, got sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador along with more than 200 alleged gang members and other migrants last month.
