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.

[–] tikifire@lemm.ee 30 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

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.

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

[–] princessofthestars@lemmy.world 97 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 77 points 5 days ago (2 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 5 days ago

Absolutely they are. And it’s terrifying.

[–] lostbit@feddit.nl 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

better start stockpiling weapons. Cause this ain't going away out itself

[–] WasteWizard@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

We'll see what happens when their weakest start dying by the scores because Medicaid and social security are gone. If that and the concentration camps won't do it, what will? For now it looks like they might become a subdued peasant folk like the Russians. Their protests and political actions won't do anything because there is no-one listening to it, and more extreme opinions are nipped in the bud by aggressive censorship on all types of media.

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.

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

[–] credo@lemmy.world 53 points 4 days ago (4 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.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And yet the Trump admin still failed to follow it

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."

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 45 points 4 days 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 4 days 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 4 days ago

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

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 64 points 5 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?!

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 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.

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago

Republicans are terrorists. I call on the Alien Enemies Act and will deport them without due process.

Vote for me in 2028.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Hegseth has literal gang tattoos. Send him.

[–] JSocial@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

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 3 days 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.

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.

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".

This is the beginning of the end of the Republic.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 34 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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 beginning was like two months ago; we're now about 40% of the way in.

[–] RupeThereItIs@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Nah man, it's well past the beginning.

Rap it up its over already
