Sorry. I admit that I am feeling a little unhinged. I can't believe this is all happening and I feel like I we are all complicit. |
Hmm, Fox News sorta reporting this. Although they note Vance doesn't know what he's talking about.

It's not clear whether it's fixable. "In response to the error, the government has acknowledged the error but said in a filing that because Abrego-Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody, the court cannot order him to be returned to the U.S. nor can the court order El Salvador to return him." |
He did not have a removal order. An immigration judge determined he was a danger to the community. Biden sat on the case and never did his asylum hearing. The administration did not say he could not be brought back, but that judges cannot bring him back. The administration should demonstrate they are in charge, by bringing him back, then going through the regular process, then deport him to El Salvador, where Bukele will send him back to the same prison for being a gang member. |
His lawyer says that the evidence that he was a gang member was that he was wearing a Chicago Bulls shirt while looking for work as a day laborer outside a Home Depot, which is too flimsy to build a case. ICE deported him when a confidential informant fingered him. There is no established gang connection. |
Why did have to go to prison? |
The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. |
Court can order Homan,, Bondi and Noem to return him to the US. And should they decline, he can order them jailed for civil contempt until such time as he is returned to the US. Bet he would be on the next plane. |
He's still under the control of the US government, they're PAYING El Salvador to jail him. |
Because the Trump administration deported him and told El Salvador that he was a gang member, so El Salvador did what they do with gang members. |
I doubt the DOJ will enforce this... |
COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND DECLARATORY JUDGMENT In 2019, Plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia won an order from an immigration judge granting him a form of relief called withholding of removal, which prohibits Defendants from removing him to El Salvador. Should Defendants wish to remove Plaintiff Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, the law sets forth specific procedures by which they can reopen the case and seek to set aside the grant of withholding of removal. Should Defendants wish to remove Plaintiff Abrego Garcia to any other country, they would have no legal impediment in doing so. But Defendants found those legal procedures bothersome, so they merely ignored them and deported Plaintiff Abrego Garcia to El Salvador anyway, ripping him away from his U.S.-citizen wife, Plaintiff Vasquez Sura, and his disabled U.S.-citizen child, Plaintiff A.A.V. |
He won protection from removal in 2019. I believe Trump was the then president. |

The reason people are trying to defend this is they fear that because of a small handful of cases like this, all enforcement and deportation actions will be stopped. Which is an understandable fear. Hopefully they can make this right by bringing this guy back but keep on going with enforcement overall. |
