Absolutely horrific. That poor man. Our poor nation.

It'd be great to see other countries impose sanctions on El Salvador for colluding with the US.

Suddenly they give a shit about stuff like that? Sure.

Furthermore, we'd have to "cajole" El Salvador to get him back and we don't do that to allies, so SUCKS TO BE HIM. Love, the DoJ.

We do prisoner swaps with enemies but can't get an ally to return someone falsely imprisoned? Right.

If people aren't terrified, they either aren't paying attention or they are delusional.

"Administrative error" is what we're now calling failure to follow the due process requirements of the Constitution.

ONE hearing in front of a judge would have established this man's innocence, right to be here, and need to avoid El Salvador in particular.

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home TODAY.

Well, if you don't have jurisdiction, then maybe they shouldn't go there...unless that's the point all along.

oops we did this completely illegal thing BY ACCIDENT and sent a dude to hell, but we "lack jurisdiction" to fix our totally evil mistake

I want to say I didn't have this on my bingo card for 2025, but it just makes me never want to play bingo again.

"We're evil and incompetent and *being innocent will not actually save you*" is certainly a thing to say.

Cruelty is the point

"But despite this, they told the court that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was carried out 'in good faith.'"

Nothing they do is in good faith.

This is Trump 2.0 in miniature: act quickly and break the system in ways that the government doesn't have the power to fix.

Fire workers, destroy research, sell off federal property, and, indeed, deport innocent people. Even if we get our country back, we'll spend decades rebuilding.

This is repulsive. It could be you or me. Where are the goddamn adults??

sinboy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Courts ABSOLUTELY CAN order the Trump administration to facilitate his release with all due haste and impose legal penalties if they don't.

The court can't make El Salvador do anything, Trump can tell them tonspring the guy.

It needs a court order because he won't though.

An error? They can’t get him back?! Why?! WTF!?? How is this ok?? We are talking about an innocent PERSON here?!
