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.

      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.

    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.

      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

        Then kidnap both. It’s not deportation, it’s sending them to exotic country for free.

        Nah, they’d just donate one of their fantastic sofa’s to the White House and JD would get in line.

      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.

    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
