Are they? Did anyone provide proof of that before deportation? That's really not too much to ask. Follow the law. |
Sure, that’s a great fan fiction you’ve written but there’s not a shred of evidence the man who they illegally deported was a troublemaker of any kind. |
Even though there was a court order saying he couldn’t be sent to his home country? Look, I’ll be honest, while I feel sympathy for this man, I’m not actually losing sleep over his plight — but when our government goes rogue and ignores court orders, we can’t normalize that. It jeopardizes ALL OF US. |
But when we deport the wrong people, we’re not making our country any safer than if you were shipped off to CECOT. |
Everyone has a right to due process. Got it? |
I only asked about him, so nice try. HE admits he came in illegally. Why is it so hard to just acknowledge his own actions caused his current situation. |
HE broke the law. Now he cares about laws? |
Yes— him. I’m saying that being here legally is not a protection against wrongful deportation and there’s reporting on that this morning. So nice try. |
How in the world would you know this? Many of the deported to El Salvador have never been accused of a crime, much less deported. Many of the deported were in the country legally. Many of the deported were under suspicion because of tattoos, which TdA expert and journalist Ronna Risquez - who has written a book on Tren de Aragua and has been threatened because of it - says the gang doesn't use tattoos as any sort of identifier at all. I don't blame only Trump for this assenine profiling policy. It clearly started under the Biden administration, which applied their knowledge of Central American gangs to Venezuela's without researching or using critical thinking skills. But at least, under Biden we had due process. If they have committed a crime, let them be tried and punished. But if there is no Due process, no accusation, no crime whatsoever... THEY SHOULD BE FREE. You sound un-American. |
*much less convicted* |
Trump broke the law too yet you voted for him. Do you care about the laws? |
No, it’s not. Your insurance goes up if you’re convicted of DUI, not just if you’re accused of DUI and later found to not have been DUI. What the administration doing is more like the cop pulled the wrong car over, decided the wrong driver was DUI and sentenced the wrong driver to jail without a hearing. The lack of a hearing is the issue, because the driver never got a chance to prove that the cop pulled them over in error. Continuing this example, the powers the be figure out that the driver was pulled over in error, wasn’t DUI, but doesn’t let the driver out of jail. This is more like what the Trump administration is doing. Whether or not some of the people sent to El Salvador entered the US illegally is irrelevant because what the administration is doing can sweep up completely innocent people who didn’t enter the US illegally. I have no issue with deporting someone who entered the US illegally so long as there is a proper hearing to make sure they are not innocent. |
The US government broke the law too. Is that ok? I don't think so. I tend to hold institutions to higher standards since they have multiple levels to ensure mistakes don't happen. Processes and the like. But if you're ok with "mistakes"like that, what if this happened to your kid when they are off on spring break in Jamaica? Without further ado, off to a Haitian jail for you! What about those Americans caught illegally entering countries with ammo? Should they be summarily sent to El Salvador? |
Bukele himself probably gave the Trump administration the idea when someone told him there were a lot of empty seats on the plane. That's how he has made El Salvador the "safest country in Latin America." By setting a target number or quota and then sweeping up people to meet it. Congratulations on emulating Bukele, Trump! |
This person had a hearing. This person was found to be in the US illegally, and had his claim for asylum denied. The only error here is that he was sent to El Salvador when the immigration judge said he was protected from removal to El Salvador(though the judge might have messed up and said Guatemala). |
