Why has not a single reporter directly asked Trump or any of the administration what would happen if a US citizen were "accidentally" deported there?

Because they took all the disloyal press off the register months ago. Only controlled journalists are allowed into the white house now.
Because they don't want to be the US citizen in question.
They did ask this, and Trump explicitly said that they want to deport citizens. "Homegrowns" which he later clarified to mean "citizens".
The most honest answer you would get is "Another one?"
Make no mistake. Last time Trump got legitimately "thrown out of his palace" he called upon an army of insurrectionists to storm the capitol.
Now he's back in there, surrounded by yes-men, and his insurrectionist army is pardoned and with boosted confidence that they can spread chaos without consequences. And by being POTUS many of his armed forces supporters have the "following orders" and "his elected authority" excuse to side with him against the remaining government branches and the people - even if their oath is to the constitution.
Whatever enforcement entity SCOTUS can get to impose actual consequences to this administration's wrongdoing on April 23rd, if it comes to it, Trump won't take it lying down. That's a guarantee with these savages.
out of the loop european here, what's happening on April 23rd
Pretty sure that is the deadline before criminal contempt of court charges are brought. (several people are supposed to be arrested and put in jail)
April 23rd will be the first day that his administrations charges for obstruction of justice are delayed / postponed because [made up reason so the judge doesn't have to do their job].
Just like happened last time.
And the time before.
And the time before.
What @beernutz@lemmy.world said, pretty much.
European too here, though with a special interest in all of this since I'm one of the closest europeans to the US, living right in the middle of the Atlantic. 🙂
Jesus fucking Christ the people that write titles like this should all be rounded up and kept at least 1,000 feet from any place they could practice whatever this slop is they consider 'journalism.' The admin put out a few press conferences and encouraged people to make memes. "Scorched Earth" my dead grandfather's rotten scrotum.
Also, that poor man is already dead and has been for a while now.
Any American citizen is now just lucky to not run across an ICE agent having a bad day and being sent to prison for life with no trial or rights, which we were supposed to hold self evident. This isn't America anymore. We need to take MAGA and beat it down until it's MANA, Make America Normal Again.
Some American citizens carry, so if a so called “ICE agent” happens to try to abduct the wrong one, without refusing to identify themselves; their day will surely get worse.
Sadly the injustice done to this man and the 70% to 90% of the people deported without having committed a crime is just a distraction while they plan their next financial rug pull.
The rot really has reached the core.
I think that's only part of it. The really disturbing thing is that a significant number of his supporters actually want this and he needs to keep doing it to keep them on side.
He should check this mound
Garcia is alive and talked with the senator already.
My money is that they're currently torturing him on the daily to send a message with his body when they eventually follow the courts order. They're prepping the narrative with their supporters and making him an unreliable testifier for his own trauma.
He's brown so the Troglodytes don't think he's a person.
It was not an error, they did this to flex their power
