He was checking in with ICE and was in a union as a construction employee. He had 3 kids and a wife.absolutely no proof ever of any gang membership or affiliation. Honestly doesn’t seem that scary of a guy. Are you this afraid of everyone?

The evidence of his gang membership has been provided over and over. One kid is his. The other two are his wife’s - the one who had two separate domestic violence claims against him.

So now having stepkids is a crime 😂 got it

Further, "Since 2019, when he was released with the protective order, Mr Abrego Garcia's lawyers say he has had yearly check-ins with immigration officials, which he has attended "without fail and without incident"."

So he could be deported theoretically, but not to El SAlvador.

ANd again, WHERE IS HE?

Get it now?

He had check ins because he is DEPORTABLE! That’s the whole point. Citizens don’t check in with immigration. He was not permanently authorized to stay and he knew it.

The check ins were required while he pursued citizenship. If there was a point where he should have been deported, they would have. And again, there was an order that he could not be sent to El Salvador.

Look, just give it up. You are so losing on the facts here.

That’s a laughable claim. He was never eligible for citizenship and that’s why his wife never tried to get him a green card. You can’t get citizenship when you enter illegally and he had already been denied asylum. Citizenship was never on the table.

You are correct that he was in legal limbo--undeportable to EL Salvador but no path to citizenship here. Not sure to resolve that.
But the fact remains, there was a legal order prohibiting sending him to EL Salvador and the Trump admin violated it.

No it hasn't, and sorry internet warrior, a judge decided that there was no evidence of gang involvement.
Stop cherry picking and pretending your internet searches are more thorough than the evidence a judge was presented with,

Just stop lying.

In 2019, an immigration judge ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, denying his request for release on bond. The judge's decision was based on a Gang Field Interview Sheet from the Prince George's County Police Department, which cited Abrego Garcia's clothing (a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie) and information from a "past, proven, and reliable" confidential informant who alleged he was a member of MS-13’s Western clique with the rank of "chequeo." The judge acknowledged skepticism about the clothing as evidence of gang affiliation but found the confidential informant's information sufficient to support the gang membership claim. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed this ruling.[](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-documents-government-case-mistakenly-deported-abrego-garcia-gang-rcna201665)[](https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/04/justices-direct-government-to-facilitate-return-of-maryland-man-mistakenly-deported-to-el-salvador/)

Look above and read the links and the court papers. Stop referring to one judge - - there were several including the court of appeals. Again, this evidence was provided over and over.

OPf course there was more than one judge and hearing. And you ae choosing to represent the ones that were basically overturned by the last judge.

There is no evidence.

DOJ already agreed to that. What’s your point? We all know he wasn’t supposed to go to ES. The idea that Garcia was en route to citizenship is absurd.

Yes he should’ve been afforded due process but even if they bring him back to the US, he’s not staying. Seems sort of like a waste of time considering he’s been returned to his home country, but OK. Bring him back, then deport him to some other country that will accept him for $$$ I guess.

This is the entire argument of means and ends. The end , should he be brought back and then given his due process rights to a a formal deportation hearing, might be he is back in El Salvador or another country. But the means matter. If the means didn’t matter we wouldn’t have entire court systems to ensure that the ends are justified by the means.

The later judge didn’t overturn anything - he couldn’t because the appeals court had already determined evidence of gang membership!! Do you understand how appeals courts work?

The later judge simply said he couldn’t go to ES because as MS 13, he was scared of Barrio’s gang reprisal. Thing is, that gang (Barrio) doesn’t even exist any more because ES squashed them.

He wasn’t supposed to go to El Salvador and there was no justification to send him to prison. He had committed no crimes there or here. There is a vast chasm of possible actions between “isn’t eligible for citizenship here” and “will be sent to prison in the country he can’t be deported back to at the whim of an administrative clerk just because.”

That’s silly; he isn’t owed another judge to say what the first one already did: he can be deported just not to ES. That determination was already made.

Right but we aren’t the ones holding him. El S could release him from prison in that nation any time they want to. Not our call.

He couldn’t go to El Salvador because he was a member of a social class based on his affiliation with his mother, whose successful business was being extorted by the gangs at threat of murdering and raping her children, and that social class could not be altered. Thus he was granted nexus of protection. Had nothing to do with being in MS13 which he was not. He came here at 16 to avoid murder by the Barrio 18 gang or having to join another gang for protection.

But he wasn’t deported. The Trump admin admits they just made an error. This was not an intentional deportation.

That’s his story, sure. El S may think otherwise.

Barrio doesn’t exist anymore.

The U.S. is PAYING THEM to hold him. Why would they release him?
