Leavitt has learned to lie very well for Mr. Trump.

In response, Leavitt slammed the ruling and denied the judge had any legal basis for issuing it. “We are unaware of the judge having jurisdiction or authority over the country of El Salvador,” Leavitt said in a statement. White House adviser Stephen Miller mocked Xinis on X, stating that she “thinks she’s the president of El Salvador.” Speaking of which, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele also mocked the judge’s ruling.
