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.
This administration is evil. You should not need to be compelled to return an innocent man that you acknowledge was wrongly sent to your El Salvadorian gulag, you should want to. He committed no crimes and was living here in the United States legally. Any decent person, any sane administrator, would want to correct this mistake.
BINGO!
Just today he threatened to send US Citizens there too. He’s coming after us.
Republican voters just shoving their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, pretending this isn’t happening
They know it’s happening, and they love it.
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.
Absolutely they are. And it’s terrifying.
better start stockpiling weapons. Cause this ain’t going away out itself
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.
Yeah, they’re testing the water to see how far they can push
Based on what we’re seeing, they can push all the way to the ovens.
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.
The Supreme Court says you’re required to! But even if you’re not required to, you shouldn’t have to be required to, you should do the right thing because it’s the right thing. Any decent president would be beside himself with guilt for sending someone to megaprison who shouldn’t be there
The SC was complicit when they chose the word “facilitate” instead of giving measurable tasks.
make (an action or process) easy or easier.
That’s so fucking little a requirement, it’s effectively not one. How no one saw this I don’t know.
That’s the problem, SCOTUS saw it and specifically reduced it from effectuate down to facilitate.
Well, in the end they can’t force another country to return someone, even if they wrote it in plain English. There is only so much that can actually be done. I’d be surprised if The World’s Coolest Dictator^TM was that opposed to returning the person, if alive, though.
And yet the Trump admin still failed to follow it
All they had to do (as an example) is tell someone, somewhere, that only one form of ID is enough to let him back into the country—if he happens to show up there—to be compliant.
Anything along these lines is “following the court order” to facilitate his return.
you should do the right thing because it’s the right thing.
Republicans:
America will always do the right thing.
After they’ve tried literally everything else.
Ohh, sometimes not even then. Sometimes we walk backward. Like right now.
He’s dead isn’t he? That or they’re afraid of what he’ll say about those inhumane gulags that Bucale built when he suspended civil liberties and tossed anyone who looked at him sideways into prison and called them gang members.
I don’t think either of those are necessarily true. It’s quite likely IMO that the Trump regime just likes the precedent… If they get away with this, it means they can deport and imprison anyone “by mistake” and then claim oopsie daisy, there’s nothing we can do about it.
That’s exactly what this is. It’s a trial run at disappearing innocent people to see what they can get away with.
This should terrify everyone.
Yep. The next test will be with a US citizen.
They dont fight for American citizens. Let that sink in.
Magaprison
Headline should only read “trump administration commits contempt of court and perjury.”
Lets kidnap Trump, send him to this same prison and pretend the same thing. Oh, then it would suddenly be different somehow. These absolute fucking bozos deported him erroneously and they have the audacity to open their filthy mouths with an excuse “we don’t have to return him”. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?!
Send Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. They’re not white, so the Republicans won’t bat an eyelid at them being sent.
Hegseth has literal gang tattoos. Send him.
Republicans are terrorists. I call on the Alien Enemies Act and will deport them without due process.
Vote for me in 2028.
You know, we don’t do due process anymore. That could be interesting.
Edit: it’s not kidnapping anymore, just sending folks. I bet the orange guy can’t immediately present his proof that he can be in the states. If only cops weren’t such cowards, any of them could do things.
I fear Kilmar maybe dead.
This is the beginning of the end of the Republic.
Nah man, it’s well past the beginning.
Rap it up its over already
Rap
Wrap?
No, he meant rap. It’s the best way to communicate his feelings over the state of the country.
that was 2016. and it’s been awhile in the making.
just a few of the highlights: 60s-70s goldwater/nixon and the southern strategy… the 80s reaganomics, deregulation, abolishment of fairness doctrine… the 90s newt & co, the rise of far-right media… 2000 scotus stopping the count and picking the ‘winner’… 2010 citizens united.
I can’t agree with you on the fairness doctrine specifically; first it only applied to over-the-air broadcasting, (so ABC, NBC, etc.) but not cable or the Internet. Secondly it was largely interpreted by these networks as forcing fringe views into the main stream. So they would have a faith healer on at the same time as a doctor, or a creationist on at the same time as a paleontologist. There are those who feel that this led directly to our current “my faith is as important as your reason” problem.
