Even IF due process had been followed properly and these victims were found guilty, the idea of sending anybody to a foreign gulag to be tortured or murdered is completely barbaric. Maybe if the U.S. stopped locking up people for not paying bail we’d have room to house actual criminals.
Another Fed judge just did what you are talking s out in your post. He is issuing a criminal complaint against Feds for disobeying his order about the planes flying after he ordered them to not take off.
Gonna be interesting when it turns out a whole bunch of them are dead since the El Sav govt isn't really telling America shit anymore so people wanna go check it out for themselves to see if they're actually alive
Remember, the thugs falsely calling Garcia a “terrorist” or “gang member” are the same idiots who enacted massive tariffs on an island populated only by penguins, and put our Navy pilots in danger by planning military attacks via emoji-filled group chats on an insecure app.
They need to use this EXTREMELY flagrant example to ask, "How many more innocent men were sent to a foreign gulag? They ALL require due process, or none of us are safe."
His case is unique, not just because of his individual situation, but how this plays out will significantly affect the administration's illegal actions for the others. It's tough to have so much focus on him, but the others have not been forgotten. His case is the tip of the spear for them all.
They will all need to file a separate lawsuit, his is just the first one getting quickly to decision, because he had an order already specifying that he couldn’t be removed to El Salvador
Counterpoint: Most people can only be intrigued and mobilized by a story that focuses on a single individual. That is literally the only way you move the masses.
A million dying of hunger? A shrug. But Maria, an engaging 5-year-old with a bright smile who is will never reach 6? Action.
We’ve all heard of Rosa Parks. There’s a reason for that. A lot of planning and effort went into creating the most sympathetic victim possible to ensure success. There’s a very good chance this was the victim that had the best chance of saving all the others.
Probably the only way to stop it is for someone to cosplay as ICE and smuggle a Republican into an El Salvador prison as a prisoner. Then let the world know that’s where they are.
Agree they all have to come back, but focusing on one person humanizes it. It gives this injustice a name and a face that people can relate to. Like it or not, "Kilmar Abrego Garcia, husband and father of two" hits harder than "those 137 guys" does.
Same goes for 68000 (healthcare problem) people read it but nothing happens.
Only when you make it more focused, people start to realize the impact of it.
Cause it's 187 a day! Or almost 8 people an hour that die. Think of that when you look at the time and 3hrs have past. It hits!
The ACLU has taken up the case(s) of the Venezuelan kidnap victims, but highlighting a case like Garcia's brings the injustice home in a more personal and emotional way, and that help generate more immediate support.

the supreme court…equally as powerful as the presidency had issued a ruling…a unanimous ruling…this is where FOTUS must “bend the knee.”
the importance is an understatement.
BTW... we are in a Constitutional crisis.

One was a makeup artist
One, a 14 year old boy
Some are women/girls
No evidence of them being anything other than foreign nationals lawfully in the US, some with court protection orders.
This is the actions of a Nazi (NAT-C) organisation.
We were warned
