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.

On day 1 of my Presidency in 2028 I promise to deport all major conmen such as Trump to El Salvador.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 19 hours ago

What, so he can come back like Napoleon? Nah. We're going to build a jail in space and put him in space jail.

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

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

The country is 1 missed paycheck from homelessness.

If we take the pitchforks out tomorrow we won't have money to buy dinner.

Eventually weqlth inequality will make it impossible to work for a living and people will take to the streets pretty fast.

Notice how during Covid there were mass riots and civil unrest basicslly the moment people didn't have to go to work.

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.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 19 hours ago

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.

[–] tikifire@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just today he threatened to send US Citizens there too. He's coming after us.

[–] dirtbiker509@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where was that? Source, so I can share it.

[–] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (7 children)

They dont fight for American citizens. Let that sink in.

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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago

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?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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."

[–] credo@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

you should do the right thing because it's the right thing.

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.

[–] witten@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Yep. The next test will be with a US citizen.

[–] Zippygutterslug@lemmy.world 160 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Republican voters just shoving their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, pretending this isn't happening

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

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.

[–] princessofthestars@lemmy.world 97 points 2 days ago (5 children)

They know it’s happening, and they love it.

[–] WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 77 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] princessofthestars@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

Absolutely they are. And it’s terrifying.

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.

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.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, I think it's likely, but even if he isn't, this is hella bad.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 64 points 2 days ago (7 children)

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?!

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Send Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. They're not white, so the Republicans won't bat an eyelid at them being sent.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Hegseth has literal gang tattoos. Send him.
