No you didn’t. Because it’s made up.
The agreement does not say “Non-ES citizens”
Months in and you still don’t know…
“Rubio told reporters: “He has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those with US citizenship and legal residency.”“
Bukele later confirmed the offer on X, specifying that “we are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted US citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee”.
He added that “the fee would be relatively low for the US but significant for us, making our entire prison sustainable”.

Well done.
Do you know how many times I’ve seen that BBC article?
As I stated, I provided earlier evidence showing the US didn’t pay to have Garcia incarcerated. Here is some of it.
ES didn’t get everything they were looking for, but they did mistakenly get Garcia.
Mr. Bukele had his own request: a list of MS-13 leaders that he wanted released from U.S. custody and sent to El Salvador, where he said they could be interrogated by his security officers.
Some U.S. law enforcement officials were alarmed over the prospect of sending back leaders of MS-13 now facing charges for alleged crimes in the United States.
Abrego was not on that list. He is not MS-13.
Except it only tells part of the story!
Either you’ve seen it a lot and didn’t read it… or didn’t comprehend it…. Or read AND comprehended it and came here to gaslight us…
Which is it?
The US didn’t pay to have ANY ONE SPECIFIC PERSON imprisoned. They paid the fee ES asked for in exchange for taking anyone the US put on the plane to send there.
How exactly does that “prove” that the US didn’t “pay a fee” to send Garcia to ES?

Another false choice fallacy. You seem to be full of those.
ES asked the US to send MS-13 gang members from El Salvador. 23 were sent, including Garcia. Why would the US pay to send detainees specifically requested by ES? ES wanted them. They were citizens of ES. They weren’t part of the monetary deal.
If you still believe otherwise, you might be the one with a reading comprehension problem. But then again, you can certainly show me where the US paid to send ES citizens back to El Salvador.
22 were sent. Abrego’s name wasn’t on any list.
261 were sent.
238 TdA Venezuelan gang members.
23 ES MS-13 gang members.
See, this is where the narrative self-destructs. The lies.
Abrego’s name is not on a list of MS-13 leaders or even members from Bukele. It can’t be.
My guess is they either screwed up the name or more likely couldn’t find one Bukele was looking for and threw Abrego in hoping no one would notice.
Abrego has never been proven to be a member of any gang.
And now they are desperately throwing crap for the media to feed the MAGA to cover it up.
And yet ES continues to incarcerate him. If he is as harmless as everyone is saying, ES should have released him already.
When was his criminal trial in either the US or ES?
Who were in “custody”. And he requested “leaders”. Garcia wasn’t in custody… he wasn’t a MS13 leader… he wasn’t MS13 at all.
If you disagree, you can definitely post the criminal case where the US convicted Garcia.

MAGA has such impeccable logic.
I often wonder where this fear and hatred comes from. It is not personal trauma, none of the zealots have ever even seen, much less been harmed by, gang members. Or any other Latinos for that matter.
Maybe it is a fear of replacement, or irrelevance. After all, they are 20% of the population.
I get why my people are concerned: resource competition for the government teat.
But ignorant-assed middle-class whites? Odd.
“i’m nOt RaCisT! iLleGaL!” 
The odd thing is, with a few exceptions, Latino culture us most compatible with claimed conservative values.
Bukele specifically demanded a man who left the country 13 years ago and has no criminal record as payment for the deal. One of the 23 most wanted individuals in the US.

Trump cheated on the deal.
ES said they would only take those with a criminal conviction. Trump sent 238 TdA gang members none of which had a criminal conviction.
ES asked Trump to send prominent MS-13 ES gang members. Trump sent a loose collection of 23 MS-13 gang members, none of which could really be considered prominent. One of those was Garcia.
The point being, if Garcia posed no threat, ES would have simply released him back into the general population. He isn’t being held at Trump’s request.
If Abrego is one of the 23 most wanted MS-13 or even a gang errand boy, why was he transferred from CECOT?
And at whose behest?
