Declare that the US won’t use their prisons anymore. Obviously the US has leverage. Will they use it? |

You’re ok forcing a country to send a citizen to another country by any means necessary? |

I'm the PP the PP was responding to. Absolutely the US has leverage: 1) As of 2023, approximately 2.6 million people of Salvadoran origin reside in the United States, representing about 0.78% of the total U.S. population. This includes both individuals born in El Salvador and those born in the U.S. to Salvadoran parents. Notably, this diaspora accounts for roughly 40% of El Salvador's total population of around 6.3 million. --> Since 40% of El Salvador's diaspora resides in the US, you better believe that the US has a big influence on the government of El Salvador. 2) As of 2023, remittances accounted for approximately 24.1% of El Salvador's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), totaling $8.2 billion. Notably, about 94% of these remittances originated from Salvadorans residing in the United States. --> Similarly, since almost a quarter of El Salvador's GDP comes from remittances from Salvadorans in the US, you better believe that the US has influence on Bukele. 3) As of early 2025, approximately 234,000 Salvadorans residing in the United States are beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). TPS provides temporary legal status and work authorization to individuals from countries experiencing extraordinary conditions, such as natural disasters or armed conflict, that prevent safe return. The TPS designation for El Salvador was initially granted in 2001 following devastating earthquakes. Since then, it has been extended multiple times. The most recent extension, announced by the Department of Homeland Security, allows Salvadoran TPS holders to remain in the U.S. through September 9, 2026. --> When TPS for Salvadorans comes up for renewal, the US government can end it, arguing that conditions have improved enough to allow safe return (the basis for which TPS is supposed to end for a certain group of people). I'm betting Trump has promised Bukele he will not do this if Bukele supports him on the plan to imprison US deportees in Salvadoran prisons because returning 234,000 Salvadorans on TPS to El Salvador will cause a huge drop in remissions to El Salvador. |

Why do you think the plaintiff's lawyers agreed to a week stay in discovery even though the judge was about to hold the government in contempt, and she has been backed up by the appellate and Supreme Court at every turn? You might want to think through what's going on before doubling down on your stupid. |

Trump can ask and use whatever means are available pursuant to the agreement with El Salvador that set this profanity up in the first place. And Trump had really better hope that he can succeed. Why? Because the Administration has admitted to a mistake. If it turns out that mistake is irremediable, it is highly likely the entire statute is ruled unconstitutional since due process mistakes will lead to irreparable harm and given this case, the likelihood of that harm being remote is zero. |

The Trump administration's application of the Alien Enemies Act to justify its rendition of deportees to El Salvador rests on shaky legal and constitutional ground. If our system of laws holds, the Trump administration will FAFO when it comes to upholding the supposed legality of their actions.

She has said that they have since reconciled. Do you think she's a liar? Does it matter? He is no angel but that's not the point. Good people have the right to due process. Bad people, even and especially bad people, have the right to due process. All people must receive due process, in our country. |

Any Lawyer and any Court in the USA can say and rule whatever they want but again, what authority do they have if El Salvador says no? As stated earlier, if an El Salvador court rules the USA must send his Wife to El Salvador, are we obligated to send her? I can agree mistakes were made, I can agree courts have ruled, but now that he is IN El Salvador, we have no power over what they do with their citizen. That's not "stupid" that is a fact. Thinking the USA can force any other country to send their citizen here is "doubling down on stupid" |

DP. Do you realize that you’re making the argument for why these renditions should not be allowed under the AEA??? Thanks! Now, as for how to fix this error: we CAN ask and we CAN engage in diplomatic activity to pressure ES to return the man. They’ll comply, they have no reason not to. Can’t guarantee it however, which is why the process the administration followed is unconstitutional if not criminal. |

Some of these MAGA tea party descendants would be surprised to know that John Adams defended British soldiers after the Boston massacre… because due process.
It’s our founding principle. We aren’t going to let this dictator take it from us. |

And if they say no, then what? |

That 'leverage' goes both ways. The US is saving money by not imprisoning them in America. |
