WTH is this? They can't or won't fix their error? Is this the state of the US justice system?  https://wtop.com/maryland/2025/04/trump-administration-concedes-maryland-father-from-el-salvador-was-mistakenly-deported-and-sent-to-mega-prison/[/quote]
Why did you Democrats create this open border sh*t show?[/quote]

It turns out, governing is hard.  MAGA is experiencing this but blaming Biden for it rather than turning their brains on and realizing that this is a large country with big issues and lots of laws to deal with lots of situations.

Ignoring all of it and saying "Deport 100 people, don't bother me with details about who they are or whether they are removable!" leads to disasters.  As we see now.  [/quote]

DP. Problem is, it is a disaster but really only affecting a few people who are the deportee and their family members. 
A few of these mistakes, maybe even a few hundred of these mistakes, are but a grain of sand in the Sahara, in comparison to the number of people who have been stopped from coming in at the border and/or lawfully deported.
Unfortunate but I do think the majority are ok with this as the cost of getting things done.[/quote]

This is not the cost of getting things done if you expect competence. Do you? The mistake we have seen in the last three months are ASTONISHING. The lack of accountability is SHOCKING. Why do you accept such incompetence from our elected officials????[/quote]

Because I know how extremely complex things are, and our systems work most of the time, but nothing can be perfect. 
We accept those kinds of risks all the time. We drive on roads knowing there’s a small chance of getting into a fatal accident. We get medical treatments knowing there’s a small chance of something going wrong. But we don’t stay at home and do nothing because those risks exist.

Activists would have us believe we shouldn’t do any immigration enforcement because mistakes can happen, but pragmatists recognize that can’t be a reason to stay home and do nothing.[/quote]
See, this is exactly what I’m afraid of. People who hear snippets about deportation and crackdowns, but never the whole story. They’re grateful for enforcement of immigration laws and think, great, we’re making some progress! They hear about one, single administrative error and think, oh well, that’s just the cost of doing business, nothing’s perfect.

This administration is more about theater than justice or protection of American citizens. They’re putting on a show and they want to shock and awe people. Look how tough we are! Look at these results! They said they were going to round up the worst of the worst first. They said you have to get the bad guys first. 75% of these men not only had never been convicted of anything in the US, but they’d never even been arrested for anything. Our government can’t produce any evidence of wrongdoing for 3/4 of them, but we’ve labeled them terrorists and sent them to CECOT, which houses the *actual* worst of the worst from El Salvador.

You think Mr. Garcia’s case was an administrative error, but don’t care because he’s probably MS-13, and hey, nothing’s perfect, but make no mistake: this administration is not striving for perfection and falling short just short of it. They weren’t going after the worst criminals. They harvested low hanging fruit and called it a success. They’re putting on a show for you and they’re completely indifferent to the actual results. All they’re looking for is the public thinking they’re accomplishing something. It’s the exact same approach they’re taking to every governmental agency. They’re not cutting out waste; they’re funneling it in different directions. They’re not increasing efficiency; they’re dismantling the very framework that makes the bureaucracy run. But none of that matters because we see them shaking things up![/quote]

He may well be putting on a show, and I’m not convinced that this is the best and most efficient way of doing things, but the numbers at the border don’t lie. Like it or not, it’s working. [/quote]
