"How can I return him to the United States? I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous," Bukele said. "I don't have the power to return him to the United States. We're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country."

"To liberate 350 million people, you have to imprison some. That's the way it works,” Bukele told Trump. Abrego Garcia has not been charged with terrorism.

EDIT: sorry, not citizen, but nonetheless a legal green card holder who's been determined to be here legally.


Garcia has never been convicted of criminal charges in the US or El Salvador

Also, you can't, you know, legally deport a US citizen to an El Salvadorian gulag even if they had committed a crime. Trump here is trying to shift the Overton window from a discussion of if they're a US citizen to if they've committed a crime (they haven't, of course), and it's fucking disgusting.

At this point, the only criminal I think who deserves to be sent to a deep, dark hole never to return is Mr. 34 Felonies himself.

I don't think Garcia was a citizen, he was a green card holder, but Trump is openly discussing sending citizens to El Salvador anyway. Nobody's going to stop him anyway, so why the fuck not?

Also, in 2019 ICE sought to have him removed but lost their motion argument and ended up with a court order forbidding them from doing so, which ICE never did anything to get lifted. That's why the Trump administration has had to say they deported Kilmar by mistake, if it was anything other than a mistake (which we all know it was but don't have smoking gun proof for) that's intentional violation of a court order, aka the Constitutional crisis all the official people have been trying to pretend isn't happening.

he was a green card holder

That's the crime in their eyes.

Not quite. His crime was existing while brown. Let's not mince words, there's no time left; we're in a dictatorship now, and they can now send anyone away for anything. It took a good twenty ish years, but the fascists finally managed to kill due process.

And the kind of defiance our country was built on.

You will fall in line or you will be gulaged. Brown and immigrants first, as a test, and to warm the pot. Maybe you later.
