Trump administration says it will fly migrant back to U.S. after judge rules his deportation "ignored" due process
The federal government is working to secure a charter flight to return a man who was removed from the U.S. back to America so he can have proper due process proceedings.
The federal government is working to secure a charter flight to return a man who was removed from the U.S. back to America so he can have proper due process proceedings, the Justice Department said in court documents filed Wednesday.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ordered the man, only known by the initials O.C.G., to be returned to the United States after he found that necessary due process steps in his removal proceedings were "ignored" by the Trump administration.
O.C.G.'s attorneys argued that he has no criminal history and sought asylum in the United States after multiple violent attacks against him in his native country of Guatemala.
But they were ALL deported without due process, so ALL the deportations are illegal!!
They probably have a chance of winning this, that probably why it looks like they are cooperating
TACO 🌮
The cracks are finally starting to break open. He's losing power.
Fuck man, there's still so much damage done and some much to come but, God and liberty willing, we'll make it through this without becoming monsters ourselvs
This is the kind of thinking that led to complacency after the 2020 election.
Trump is not the cause of America's rot; he's a symptom. Even if he's gone, there's a vast web of right-wing media, wealth, fascists, bigots, racists, and voters who are still willing to blow it all up to give the rich more money.
Somehow, we have to deal with the anti-intellectual oppositionally-defiant idiocy that is rampaging through 40% of our population before we can start making true progress again.
I'm starting to think that we're bringing knives to a Kaiju fight. Even if we somehow scrape through the next four years and recover the republic (spoiler alert, we've already lost the republic, it's just a question of Trump being bold enough to go far as even as decided to do and look more like), the people who got him this far, wrote project 2025, and financed and boosted his campaign will still be there, learning from the mistakes they made this time and eager to try again. That was the mistake we made last time, thinking that when we beat Trump on '20, he and his movement and wealthy/powerful supporters would simply vanish in a puff of smoke. Now we know better.
What we'll also still have is a weak-kneed, noodle-spined, and sponge-for-brains democratic party that's eager to virtue signal left talking points but fights actual left policies and politicians harder than it fights the republicans. Even now, as we're trying to recover the republic, the DNC is working full tilt to fight anyone trying to make them into an actual opposition party with actual opposition policies. Never forget that the democrats joined the republicans to censure Al Green, the one man who actually did any kind of protest with a backbone at Trump's not-a-state-of-the-union. We're not going to be able to keep the republic from these monsters with gatekeepers who are too busy with honoring intra-party seniority, rites, and traditions and shooting anyone who actually tries to make any meaningful action to fight the monsters. Being the only alternative can't be good enough anymore, we need more people to do whatever they think is right (get into politics yourself, harass your elected officials, start a new party, I don't give a shit as long as the answer isn't do nothing) to force the democrats to get their shit together or else relegate them to the dustbin of history.
God and liberty are dead. Join your local groups organizing against this.
No, it's good that he's following the law. Unlike those criminals that are trying to manipulate him like Stephen Miller.
His mistake was threatening the rich people’s money.
That’s like dictator 101
What about Kilmar Abrego Garcia?
He's a legalUS citizenresident and he's still sitting in CECOT.Edit: resident not citizen
He's not a US citizen, but he had a court order not to deport from during the previous Trump administration.
Not only that, but the Supreme Court unanimously agreed that he needs to come back. Those guys don't unanimously agree on anything
KAG is not a US citizen, but was living here legally, and his wife is a US citizen.
They have to keep one guy out illegally so we waste all of our outage on him instead of the fact that it's happening at all.
It sets precisdent, the feds admitted they fucked up. Once he is back there are fewer excuses and it becomes a lot easier to hold people in contempt. (Also I very much look forward to the ambulance chasers lineing up to represent him for his civil damages case, this is going to cost tax payers and arm and a leg to make right the damages and should be a reminder of the cost of electing incompetent boobs)
Now do it for the rest of them.
It boggles the mind that the only sanction for willful violation of the Constitution of the United States is a judge having to beg to have the guy brought back.
There really should be jail time for anyone in a position of power that knowingly ignores people's rights.
working to secure a charter flight
Maybe call Qatar? I hear they have a lot of nice planes.
Any updates on the four year old US citizen with cancer?
I'll believe it when I see it.
Whoever filed that document is about to get fired, and someone else is going to file new papers telling the judge to fuck off....
What, they're listening to the courts now?
Is this government efficiency?
