'Tortured? he gained weight...’: Bukele mocks MS-13 gang member Garcia's claims with prison video

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele cast aside allegations that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was beaten and subject to psychological torture in a Salvadoran prison on Thursday. In a post on the social media platform X, Bukele wrote that Abrego Garcia “wasn't tortured, nor did he lose weight.” In the post, Bukele included pictures and video of Abrego Garcia in a detention cell. “If he'd been tortured, sleep-deprived, and starved, why does he look so well in every picture?” Bukele wrote.
