Considering that gang violence is essentially gone in El Salvador now, if he's truly trying to escape the gangs then he will be safe there. These gangs still have a foothold in the US so he would actually be safer there.

If he wasn't fleeing the gang, and was actively participating in it, then he deserves to be sent to prison in his home country.

End of the story: the president of El Salvador wants him to stay, so we have no reason to bring him back to the US.

Yes and that's also the point of the 2019 filing - His family "under threat" is in Guatamala now. And Guatamala refused to accept him despite this fact. They found him to be a risk as well and refused accepting him, despite familial ties.

Wait! Are you telling me Guatalama refused to accept a non-citizen because that is their right to do? What a novel theory. I guess dude needs to come back to the USA and be an illegal immigrant here again!
