Any time court rulings are ignored without consequence by our own government, our justice system is eroded, our government becomes more powerful, and we lose what are supposed to be built-in protections. Today it’s Abrego Garcia. Someday it could be one of us on this board. You don’t care because it’s not you, but the time to speak up is now, before this is normalized and we’re all at risk. |
Yes he had due process. The government made a mistake and did not follow the result of that due process. He has been judged to be a danger to the community, denied bond, and found that the government could hold him in detention. He was also found to be in danger if he was returned to El Salvador, so the government could not send him there. What happened after that to allow him to not be held in detention is not clear. However, the government can always deport him, and there is no additional due process required. They just have to deport him somewhere other than El Salvador. |
I don’t understand the relevance of this question. Fields is a US citizen who had his day in court, pled guilty, and enjoys the protections of the US legal system for the duration of his prison sentence. What does he have to do with this case? |
They did the one thing a court ruled they could not do and they’re not only taking no steps to correct the error, but are actively fighting in the courts to for the right to make no attempt to correct it. That’s the exact opposite of the rule of law. |
Why would a judge get to decide where their own El Salvador citizen goes. He claimed some bogus persecution of his puousa store but gangs, sound fake. Now all the gangs are under control and the fake Biden asylum status has been revoked he can go home |
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway. |
A judge needs to hold Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem in contempt and throw them both in jail if he’s not return by the morning. Period. |
The question now before the Supreme Court is whether a court can order the President to engage in foreign diplomacy to return someone to the U.S. The Supreme Court ruled on a similar issue in Zivotofsky v. Kerry, 576 U.S. 1 (2015) (Recognition Clause). Wrote Jefferson in 1790: “The transaction of business with foreign nations is executive altogether. It belongs, then, to the head of that department, except as to such portions of it as are specially submitted to the Senate. Exceptions are to be construed strictly.” |
They are just a contractor. The regime is paying them to house these people. |
DP. When Jews were being deported from their homes, and sent to die in prisons, it didn’t affect my grandfather’s life much. And yet, he and the rest of the world, risked their lives to make it stop. Because it was the right thing to do. I have a hard time believing you’re an American at all. |
El Salvador is a sovereign nation. He is a citizen of El Salvador. Is the remedy here to violate Separation of Powers? |
You’re presenting a false choice. The remedy is to hold those who break the law accountable. As far as I can see, those who ordered his deportation are responsible for whatever happened to him. Tantamount to kidnapping. |
Ah yes because Trump is so respectful of other countries sovereignty. |
The Trump administration has learned very quickly that they don't have to follow the rule of law because there are zero consequences for doing whatever they want. Republicans in Congress certainly are not holding them accountable and while most of the public hates, but they're doing, we really don't have a lot of power to stop him at this point. |
That's not the issue. Does the Supreme Court have the authority to order a President to engage in foreign relations? If those fail, can the Supreme Court order the U.S. military to invade another country to enforce its order? |
