Trump admin accidentally sent man to Salvadorian prison and can’t get him back
Government argues it no longer has control over Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s fate
Summary
ICE admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia—despite his legal protection from removal—to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison.
A Maryland judge had barred his deportation due to gang threats in El Salvador.
The Trump administration claims it can't intervene since he’s no longer in U.S. custody.
His family is suing to compel his return. The administration also deported over 200 Venezuelans using emergency powers, some without criminal records, sparking legal challenges and criticism of its use of the Alien Enemies Act.
Bullshit they can't get them back. They're paying for their detention there. Which means they're still in control of it. El Salvador wants more business, and they aren't stupid. They'd send one back to keep Trump sending them hundreds.
Yeah, this framing is all wrong. It portrays Trump's regime as incompetent, but the reality is that they're just lying. "Oops, soo sorry, it's out of our hands!"
If only this could’ve been avoided.
If only there were some sort of “due procedure” where facts could be presented as “evidently” in some sort of “room of law” and sort some of “evaluator person” could come up with a “deciding” on what to do with an accused person.
"Accidentally"
This is THE argument/example for the need of due process with these round-ups.
The Trump administration accidentally sent a Salvadorian immigrant to a notorious Salvadorian prison and says it can’t do anything to get him back.
You mean illegally
The US interferes with foreign custody regularly, both through legal and illegal channels. The judge will only accept the excuse if he's dumb.
Bad headline...should read, "doesn't care to do anything, with regard to getting him back."
can't get him backdon't care in the slightestWelp, I guess USA will need to give the illegal immigrant Elon Musk in exchange.
Fourteenth amendment? What's that?
Oh, so that OnlyFans lady who took the plane paid by tax payers’ money had no seat for him?
I feel completely out of the loop on that one
Ok they can't bring him back because he is not under us custody. So they daying they can't bring anyone back!
Can'twon'tTrump admin: what’s the rush? He’s not going anywhere.
And El Salvador isn’t saying or doing anything to help… why?
Because Trump is paying them not to
Because "once you enter you never leave". You can argue that prison is a necessary evil, but you can't argue it's not evil
