U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the United States.

Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should “remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here,” not help extract him from El Salvador.

        Ever since Trump got elected, we keep hearing a lot about South American prisons…

        I’m pretty convinced they’re warming us up to concentration camps.

        Guantanamo Bay was just expanded from fewer than 1000 cells to 30.000 cells.

            We’ll see what happens when their weakest start dying by the scores because Medicaid and social security are gone. If that and the concentration camps won’t do it, what will? For now it looks like they might become a subdued peasant folk like the Russians. Their protests and political actions won’t do anything because there is no-one listening to it, and more extreme opinions are nipped in the bud by aggressive censorship on all types of media.

      The ones who voted for the people doing repeated nazi signals? Who voted for the guy who told people chanting “Jews will not replace us” with torches, to “stand by”? The voters who voted for the guy who became political by claiming he had proof President Obama faked his birth certificate and was actual a Kenyan Muslim manchurian candidate? You mean, those voters?

      They are pretending this isnt happening?

      No. They are simply silent because they are way too occupied masturbating to these developments to vocalize their specific support online or wherever, at least until they finish.

      Jokes aside, its likely they learned from Nazi supporters in the 1940s that they should remain quiet, so they can feign ignorance later.
