People here said the wife beating was false, surprise it’s not. When it’s proven he is a gang member, then what? |
The Daily Mail is a tabloid. It's like the National Enquirer. |
Ok fine then which Trump admin official is going to prison for kidnapping? Either bring him back or face the consequences for kidnapping some poor man. Have it your way. Who will pay the price for violating our constitution? |
All of the same due process as anyone else. That’s a pretty simple answer. Did you not think of that obvious truth? |
Unless he had a chance to defend himself in a court of law then nothing has been “proven” at all. You damn fools need to get a basic civics education before you sell out the USA and our constitution. |
He had a hearing and did not dispute it. |
You know it’s public record, and his wife admitted it today right? Truth hurt? |
Other news outlets have reported the petitions she filed as well. You’re welcome to refer to those. This isn’t about bad reporting. |
That answer makes no sense. You wanted him to have due process. He was seen by two immigration judges including an appeals court already. That’s the due process. |
Kidnappings don’t bring people home. This wasn’t a kidnapping. What a bizarre take. |
Pp wrote “You can tell they know this is going very badly for them.” The Hill article directly refutes that. Trump team sees this as a benefit. |
You don’ seem to understand the basics of how our courts work. Maybe you should learn a thing or two before spouting off with your unamerican BS. Seriously. You need to read a book and get off the internet. Come back when you have some basic facts straight. |
Why don't you understand - it's not about whether he's a criminal or a good guy. The concern is the lack of due process. I feel like people don't understand what that means. Without due process, there is literally nothing to stop this from happening to you. Piss the wrong person off, have the same name as a bad guy, get drunk and get the wrong tattoo, get lost and find yourself walking into the middle of a pro-Palestinian protest, whatever. ICE shows up and takes you into custody, and drags you straight to a plane headed for El Salvador. Wait, you say, I'm an American citizen! I can prove it - here's my passport/birth certificate. Please, someone just look at them, and this will all be cleared up. That's due process. Due process is what gives you the chance to be heard before being shipped to a gulag in El Salvador. If you have no right to due process, then the iCE agent arresting you has no obligation to look at your passport or check your birth certificate. They can just decide they don't believe you, or don't care, and off you go. I have no idea is Abrego Garcia was a criminal. Frankly, neither do you. And the reason we don't know that is because he was denied due process. The Constitution guarantees due process for everyone. It doesn't say "due process, but only for the innocent." The whole "is he a gang member/wife beater/terrorist" question is absolutely irrelevant. He should not have been deported without due process. Full stop. If due process were given and he was found to be subject to deportation, I would not care at all It is honestly baffling to me that anyone thinks this is ok. How you don't see the danger for YOU and people you love with this precedent. |
He had a hearing in 2019 with evidence showing he was a gang member. He lost because "he failed to present evidence to dispute that assertion" he had a Lawyer at the hearing and lost. The actual documents are here. https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1396906/dl?inline That was his "chance to defend himself in a court of law". He lost. |
This thread really touches a nerve with the maggots!! Hee hee hee. I LOVE it when the maggots squirm! Or maybe it's the Russian troll farm. Either way, Van Hollen has gotten under their skin. A US Senator flies down to El Salvador to try to get a legal resident of Maryland out of a notorious prison to which he's been sent in error. I can't think of anyone other than the judge who has been more honorable in this case.
And let's face it, the case has nothing to do with Mr. Abrego Garcia. It has to do with the Trump administration proving it has power over the courts, ie that Mr. Trump is now a dictator with full control of all three branches of our federal government. I am so sorry for Mr. Abrego Garcia's US citizen wife and children. Their husband/father is a pawn, a human sacrifice to the authoritarian goals of the Trump administration. I pray Mr. Van Hollen is successful and gets this innocent man out of prison in El Salvador. Van Hollen is a hero to me and to many, many Americans. |
