When the show's host,
Martha MacCallum, questioned Trey Gowdy about Donald Trump and his administration not facilitating the return of Maryland's Kilmar Ábrego García after the Supreme Court's order, the right-wing commentator seemed to stray from the commander-in-chief.
"I think what they ought to do is probably follow the judge's order and the
Supreme Court decision, which used the word 'facilitate,'" he said. "Also in that opinion, Martha, were the words 'accidental,' 'mistake' and 'illegal.' I mean, those are not three good words you want in a Supreme Court decision."

Trey Gowdy did make it clear he agreed with Donald Trump on his strict stance on immigration. However, he emphasized how the businessman should listen to the courts.
"So, look, I don't want the guy in the United States, although I will say this: If the press secretary's facts are right, it should be a pretty easy conviction," the reporter pointed out. "Do I have more confidence in U.S. Prisons or
El Salvadorian prisons? U. S. Prisons. I don't know if you remember Pablo Escobar or not in Colombia, but that was more like the sanctuary at Kiowa or the Ritz-Carlton. That's not a real prison."
"So I have confidence in the U.S. Prosecutors. I have more confidence in the U.S. Prison system.
If the president doesn't agree with that — and he may not — then bring him back and then remove him to another country, appeal the removal order," Gowdy continued.

On Monday, April 14, Donald Trump welcomed El Salvador President
Nayib Bukele to the White House. When the foreign leader was pressed about
organizing Kilmar Ábrego García's return, his response was alarming.
"How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States?" Bukele said, according to
NBC News. "Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous."

On Wednesday, April 16, White House Press Secretary
Karoline Leavitt touched upon the situation. She also addressed Democratic Maryland Senator
Chris Van Hollen's decision to travel to El Salvador to help return Kilmar Ábrego García.
"It's appalling and sad that Senator Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents and our citizens," she said.
