Trump administration says it is not required to help wrongly deported man return to US
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.
It's more than the fact that he committed no crime, it's that he wasn't even given a trial; he wasn't even charged with anything. He was just scooped up, declared a terrorist, and sent to life in prison in supermax.
BINGO!
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.
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.
They also are avoiding all talk about it in their echo chambers. I went into r/conservative to see what they were saying about this, and there is not one post that I could find about it. There's a ton of other things they are talking about, mostly tariffs since those affect the money people make/spend, but nothing about this case. It's almost like they are intentionally not talking about it.....
Are you kidding? They're cheering this on. To them, this legal, documented and law-abiding man from El Salvador was part of a Argentinian gang sleeper cell. They're frothing at the mouth to send anyone who looks slightly Latino to a slave prison without due process. They consider this the greatest victory the USA has ever had. Finally they can be free from the tyranny of hearing "Spanish" in the USA.
You wouldn't shut out your dream-come true right? These trump supporters have been convinced that there is literally an organized paramilitary invasion of the US happening at the southern border. They think anyone who might have come over that line is an enemy combatant seeking nothing but destruction of America.
Until they come after them, which will be too late of course.
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.
Their runaround is stupid. "Well it said we only need to FACILITATE, and he's in Salvadorian custody, so all we can do is ASK them. Since Bukele doesn't WANT to, we can't really do much else, we're just some backwater little regional power compared to the mighty El Salvador."
All these court orders don't mean a thing, I piss on them, the courts have less honor than a goat. The courts are unwilling and/or unable to enforce their orders, and until they are willing or able, it's just a show that's wasting everyone's time. The Trump administration is sending people to life in prison without a trial, without even charging folks with a crime, and the judges are standing on the side saying "but you can't do that!" Well, guess what happy cappy, they're doing it! So what now?
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.
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.
Republicans are terrorists. I call on the Alien Enemies Act and will deport them without due process.
Vote for me in 2028.
Hegseth has literal gang tattoos. Send him.
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.
If you kidnap Trump, JD Vanice becomes president and declares war on ElSelvador for abducting Trump.
Or perhaps does nothing and enjoy presidency who knows
the funny thing is, we could argue to the supreme court that there's precedent and therefore legal. then we could codify in law that this is obviously illegal, but trump can stay there because he was sent before the law
They dont fight for American citizens. Let that sink in.
Headline should only read "trump administration commits contempt of court and perjury."
And still face no consequences
After facilitating kidnapping and felony false imprisonment?
What's one more felony to this guy, though?
Thatd be number 35
I fear Kilmar maybe dead.
My money is on this too. How card could it realisticly be to ring them up and have them send somebody back.
Someone is obviously stalling.
Yeah, I think it's likely, but even if he isn't, this is hella bad.
On day 1 of my Presidency in 2028 I promise to deport all major conmen such as Trump to El Salvador.
What, so he can come back like Napoleon? Nah. We're going to build a jail in space and put him in space jail.
Sic semper tyranis.
i don't understand how every single american isn't gathering up torches and pitchforks. why aren't we doing that? is it because we're scared? do we think we're powerless as a collective? we're not. do we think we're individually alone? we're not! all we have to do is say it together and the rest will begin to fall into place.
say it with me, "guns".
Because this country lives by the "fuck you, got mine" mantra

This is the beginning of the end of the Republic.
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.
The beginning was like two months ago; we're now about 40% of the way in.
Nah man, it's well past the beginning.
Rap it up its over already
It ended a while ago. We're just witnessing the purification.
That's not the beginning, it's more than halfway past now
