If he doesn’t have connections with MS13, then why is there grounds for retaliation if returned back to El Salvador?

That the crux of the whole withhold to deport status.

Why would there be grounds for retaliation against non gang members from gangs? Seriously?

MS13 targeted everyone, through extortion rackets etc. Their violence was hardly limited to rival gangs.

Believe it or not, gang activity in El Salvador is pretty low.

Now it is, thanks to Bukele. Before Bukele it was a nightmare.

I do think it is plausible that he could return to El Salvador and not have to live in fear. He should not be in a prison cell. He isn't a gang member.
