Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It was not miastaken, it was deliberate and targeted persecuation of a private indivdual by the state driven by psychotic ideology to appease a bigoted base. I'm pretty fucking tired of the AP sanewashing these obvious crimes, I've already seen 3 articles outta there today trying to create a rational discource of flagrant abuse of laws and norms by this admin.
Abrego Garcia was charged with human smuggling and conspiracy to commit human smuggling, with prosecutors claiming that he accepted money to transport within the United States people who were in the country illegally.
The charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee for speeding. Body camera footage from a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer shows a calm exchange with Abrego Garcia. There were nine passengers in the car, and the officers discussed among themselves their suspicions of smuggling. However, Abrego Garcia was eventually allowed to continue driving with only a warning.
For those trying to say he was some evil guy involved in human smuggling or trafficking, he had been sent by his employer, in a company-owned van, to pick up and take construction workers from one site to another. He wasn't "smuggling" or "trafficking" anybody, he was doing his job, and since it involved driving company property, and carrying company personnel, presumably he was a highly trusted and valued employee.
Just a little context on the "criminal monster" we're talking about here.
You mean extremely intentionally deported?
This headline reminds me of how Chomsky talks about the corporate media talking about our foreign wars and how they are framed if they are backing off of them, or, later, want to downplay them: "mistakes were made" is typical phrase usage.
Deportation is a federal administrative action.
This was felony kidnapping.
One down, thousands to go.
I hope he will be applying for his share of trumps slush fund for being a victim of the weaponization of government.
No you don't understand he's not a victim of the weaponization of the government. He's a terrorist and an enemy of the government. It's justified because he's not on my side. /s
Why gee, it's almost like people who are getting deported should get their day in court. What a concept eh?
~~Mistakenly~~ illegally deported
Fucking really? Just goes to show how easy it is to change the narrative.
'Murica
Where cruelty and abuse of power is celebrated by ignorant white cunts who are afraid that if there's actually equal opportunities for everyone, they'll be shown up as the stupid and weak losers they are
It’s vital to keep in mind that it’s not just white people cheering this on. There are a loooooot of idiot self-hating minorities that vote for this in droves.
Let's not forgive the complacent white cunts that, "Aren't into politics."
“The evidence before this court sadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power,” U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw, in Nashville, Tenn., said in his ruling granting Abrego Garcia’s motion to dismiss for “selective or vindictive prosecution.” Without Abrego Garcia’s “successful lawsuit challenging his removal to El Salvador, the government would not have brought this prosecution.”
“Mistakenly deported”???
mistakenly deported
Oops, how did that happen? /s
Yeah, “mistakenly” is doing some crazy heavy lifting.
For sure. They want you to read it as "accidentally" instead of "with malicious unlawful intent."
The ketchup is flying in the Oval Orifice.
