Does he have a visa to enter the US? Did he have a visa when he entered the US? If the answer to either question is no, then he is illegal. |
So if you believe he is an illegal immigrant that should have been deported to his home country, El Salvador, on what grounds do you feel he should be imprisoned there if the crime you feel he committed was in the United States? Additionally, if you feel he needs to be in his home country of El Salvador, why should the United States be paying his home country to keep him in the jail? Isn’t this administration about efficiency in spending? |
DP. Everything you said in your post is incorrect, except for the fact that he is indeed a Salvadorean citizen. Here are the most incorrect/false things you have said. *He was not here illegally. He was here on a "withholding of removal" granted in 2019. He had work permission and presented himself to authorities yearly to maintain his status. The administration admitted to making an administrative error by removing him. Why would they admit that if they felt he was here illegally? *There is no evidence that he was "under a court order to self-deport." Just ask Grok or ChatGpt. (I did.) *If the gang situation has changed in El Salvador, why did the current administration renew TPS for Salvadoreans, many of who are here due to claims of fear of gang persecution and violence? *If he is subject to military/state department action, why did the Supreme Court vote 9-0 to have him returned? Or do you believe that the executive branch is not answerable to the SC? Next time, bring facts, not your feelings. Understand? |
I think he should be freed in El Salvador and permanently banned from coming back to the US. |
DP. On what basis? He would have to have a hearing before a US judge to determine that. |
That is not the law. |
Regardless of unlawful entry, someone who qualifies can have their US presence regularized, such as by pending asylum proceedings. At that point their status is no longer unlawful. Same for people who entered wiith temporary protected status, or as sponsored refugees. You have limited understanding of immigration law. |
Well, you can use your feelings to lobby your representatives on Congress to create a new law someday that may apply to future situations, if passed. Right now, we need to be obeying our existing laws and due process and court orders. |
Why? He was here under TPS because his life is at risk there. Plus, he was an apprentice, has a child and otherwise seems like the type of hard working person we would want in this country. The fact is, this administration could have chosen an actual criminal for this test case to send people off to a gulag without due process, but they screwed up and chose someone who is a sympathetic figure. The longer this goes on, the worse it is for the Administration. |
Plus the administration admitted that they had sent him to El Salvador erroneously due to an administrative mistake. |
If El Salvador does not want to release their citizen, be mad at El Salvador. The USA has zero jurisdiction at this point. |
Now that Republicans realize they can disappear legal non citizens, watch them disappear American citizens who aren't criminals to El Salvador as well. |
The Supreme Court doesn't seem to agree with your assessment. |
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. I think they joined during the 4th circuit appeal. |
Under international law, any human can seek asylum and have their case heard. In this particular case, this individual received TPS status in 2019 when Donald Trump was president. |
