The Trump administration has no interest in seeing a man returned to the United States who was illegally sent to El Salvador. The president made that very clear on Saturday… in a way that he probably thought was pretty clever.
In my dream world, the courts respond to Trump’s claim that he cannot retrieve anyone from El Salvador by putting a stay on all deportations until the Trump administration demonstrates that it will not deport people to any place from which it cannot quickly retrieve them if they were deported in error.
(I don’t expect this to happen.)
And to get the ball rolling a bit more quickly, hold Trump personally in contempt in El Salvador to help motivate fixing that glitch.
They can’t, the President cannot be held accountable for ANY official acts, according to the Supreme Court.
But what if they hold him in contempt in El Salvador “by accident”?
Maybe it wasn’t an official act, in the meantime you’re in contempt. Oh you’re in El Salvador now? Oh shit it was an official act? Oh well guess we can’t bring you back.
And apparently congress, the Senate, the judiciary and the general public are ok with this. Fuck this timeline.
It’s up there with that time a rich youtuber decided to make Squid Game an actual reality TV show.
I suspect Trump made a deal with the devil to be completely immune from any legal consequences for anything
I don’t know every impeachable offense, but I’m pretty sure not following a decision of the Supreme Court is one of them.
He’s been impeached twice already. Who cares?
Anybody who swore an oath against domestic threats. Those guys can be real wildcards.
Clearly not.
The point is he was impeached twice last time he was president and it did nothing. He has too much support for anyone in government to actually do anything.
Do we know for sure that Garcia is still alive?
The more they fight it, the more confident I am that the answer is no
It explains why Trump initially didn’t care (didn’t know guy was dead).
It also aligns with Trump’s statements about Salvadore being a sovereign nation, because the angle will be that it wasn’t the Trump admin’s fault.
They’re not going to reveal that unless / until they really have to, and it won’t be Trump that announces it obviously.
Which then gets you thinking are they just killing everyone they deport.
Not really.
Garcia fled from gang violence. If you put him in a cell with 99 gang members, he’s likely to meet a violent demise.
There’s a difference between the administration actively murdering deportees, and just not caring whether they die.
That line is pretty fucking slim though.
Family is gonna be rich once Trump is out of office.
They’re more likely to kill his entire family than they are to ever give up power.
