Summary

ICE admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia—despite his legal protection from removal—to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison.

A Maryland judge had barred his deportation due to gang threats in El Salvador.

The Trump administration claims it can't intervene since he’s no longer in U.S. custody.

His family is suing to compel his return. The administration also deported over 200 Venezuelans using emergency powers, some without criminal records, sparking legal challenges and criticism of its use of the Alien Enemies Act.

"Accidentally"

This is THE argument/example for the need of due process with these round-ups.

[–] [email protected] 131 points 2 days ago (2 children)

“Accidentally”. The cruelty is the point.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Also, "can't" is bullshit, they just don't want to

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Probably if they bring him back it’s easier for him to sue them for illegally deporting him. So best for them to just leave him there.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Accidentally on purpose.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bullshit they can't get them back. They're paying for their detention there. Which means they're still in control of it. El Salvador wants more business, and they aren't stupid. They'd send one back to keep Trump sending them hundreds.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, this framing is all wrong. It portrays Trump's regime as incompetent, but the reality is that they're just lying. "Oops, soo sorry, it's out of our hands!"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's also super dangerous to let them get away with. These guys were fast deported with no due process. If they can do it to them, they can do it to anyone, no matter their citizenship.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

“I’m an American citizen” they plead as they being thrown into the back of the ICE van.

ICE does not care.

Narrator “They were indeed an American citizen. Born and raised in America.”

If only this could’ve been avoided.

If only there were some sort of “due procedure” where facts could be presented as “evidently” in some sort of “room of law” and sort some of “evaluator person” could come up with a “deciding” on what to do with an accused person.

When criminals are running the country the definition of criminals is meaningless.

However ‘criminals’ in quotes as used by Fox News is probably alt-speak for hispanics and anyone else they don’t want in the US.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

'criminals' is generally alt-speak for 'undesirables'

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And by undesirables they mean race, sexuality and gender identities minorities, disabled, anyone who votes democrat, anyone who flips parties, the poor, homeless people.

The only people who will be safe are rich or middle class white cis gender heterosexual people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I’m a white middle class cis gender heterosexual person, and I don’t feel safe at all.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Every service you depend on is being cut, and wealth extraction of the middle class is going into high gear to make the upper class richer. No reason to feel safe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s your problem, you feel. Please stop being such a pussy and just follow what you’re told on Fox News.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think they're saying they also feel threatened by this administration, despite not ticking any of the boxes that would make them "undesirable" to the regime. And they have good reason to feel this way. Nobody's really safe in fascism except for the people doing the fascism.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Even the last group won't be safe if they protest or get on Trump's bad side. Which doesn't give them an excuse not to protest

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Bad headline...should read, "doesn't care to do anything, with regard to getting him back."

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

The Trump administration accidentally sent a Salvadorian immigrant to a notorious Salvadorian prison and says it can’t do anything to get him back.

You mean illegally

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Fourteenth amendment? What's that?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago

The US interferes with foreign custody regularly, both through legal and illegal channels. The judge will only accept the excuse if he's dumb.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

They're saying they can't be forced by any US authority to bring him back.

They could just ask El Salvador to release him. But they won't.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

~~can't get him back~~ don't care in the slightest

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

Welp, I guess USA will need to give the illegal immigrant Elon Musk in exchange.

Oh, so that OnlyFans lady who took the plane paid by tax payers’ money had no seat for him?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel completely out of the loop on that one

The sad part is that the last "joke" with the emojis isn't a joke at all. That's really what they messaged after the strike.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

~~Can't~~ won't

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Ok they can't bring him back because he is not under us custody. So they daying they can't bring anyone back!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Trump admin: what’s the rush? He’s not going anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And El Salvador isn’t saying or doing anything to help… why?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Because Trump is paying them not to

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Because "once you enter you never leave". You can argue that prison is a necessary evil, but you can't argue it's not evil
