An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison

If there's no remedy for an immigrant, then there is no remedy for a US citizen either.

I'll note that the Trump administration is using taxpayer dollars to keep people in this prison in El Salvador.

Oopsie we fucked up your life... Sowwee!
- And the excuses were really thin. Among other things:
  Tattoos of crowns and clocks
  “I love you” symbol in sign language,
  being in the same area as a law enforcement target
  
  It's real Nazi science, this identification of criminals by skin colour, tattoos, and gestures. Perhaps they should study head shape too. Anyway, trigger their Nazi spidey sense and you'll be kidnapped and trafficked into permanent imprisonment and slavery in a foreign country where you have no legal rights. They don't have to prove you did anything. And half the US population will cheer because they can't imagine it will ever happen to them.
- No take backsies.
- Try to be more white next time.
That’s the problem with the removal of due process. The facts don’t matter. Being accused makes you guilty and subjects you to the maximum penalty under the law.
If you think the Trump administration isn’t going to extend this to LGBT people next and people who disagree with their policies after that, you aren’t paying attention.
- Why would the free world cut ties with the United States? The free world has ties with the China and Saudi Arabia. It had ties with Russia until a couple years ago… The free world doesn’t care about morality, only interests.
- and now can’t get them back
  That part is very, very purposeful.
- They can absolutely get him back, these are just games for the courts.
"Mistakenly"
Just like the innocents murdered by the death penalty?
Party of cruelty at its finest.
Well, fuck the Trump administration, but also: fuck El Salvador.
The courts should order Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz, Vance or Trump to go find the guy in the El Salvadorean prison themselves.
- Those dumb assholes couldn't find their way out of a Wal-Mart.
this is basically the plot of the movie Brazil
- Kafkas The Trial is less fictional every day
How long until this administration starts doing Pinochet helicopter tours?
