This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

When the Liar In Chief says this, it’s as good as the opposite. I said the non response and stalling were potentially signs El Salvador is killing these people.
They want the power to do this to anyone at any time - to control us - by or before 2028 (So no election / no vote / no Democracy / no Freedom).
MAGA? Guess not
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House Monday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
They're playing a losing hand and they just can't fold.
Okay, it's your money. Go all in on a pair of deuces.
At this point, he could strangle puppies in the OO and that wouldn't provoke any Republican outrage.
We and Mr. Garcia are screwed.
Also Trump: “Canada is our 51st state! Greenland isn’t real so we can just take it! The Panama Canal is ours! Oh we have a trade treaty? I’m tearing it up just to roil the markets!”
Stick Elon there due to a “clerical error” and watch how fast Air Force one picks him up.
U.S. cannot sell or gift human beings to another country. That is human trafficking or slavery.

Nobody read A Man for All Seasons, I guess.
How very MAGA of them.
If the first, that's not the law. If it's the second, it's void ab initio.
So the "arrangement" is a nullity. It never existed.
and send them to that prison, no questions (literally) asked?
Look y'all. No concentration camps. They found a work around to outsource those as well. How very American.
it is also unconstitutional under
the Art 2 powers to take care & the oath of office
if we look into the Constitution is any part Closed off
C.J. Marshal "Marbury"
it was done in an individual capacity not an official one
criminal and civil cases may be brought
ALL HE DOES IS LIE!
Let's see if he's alive. Bring him home. Bring them all home
Yeah, I’d say “unconstitutional” is just scratching the surface on this one.
Rhetorical question, but we're paying to imprison people abroad who we could have deported for the cost of a plane ticket, if that's what they really wanted to do.
This is a slave trade, pure and simple.
Oh, that’s right, fascists.
The US Supreme Court has ordered he be returned to the US
Yet, the US admin now reveals they can’t get him back
Is that about the size of it?
We are offshoring crimes against humanity.
Nazi leaders were held accountable for crimes committed via collaborator states.
Who makes a deal with another country to compensate them for housing your "prisoners", but doesn't require their immediate release or return on demand, UNLESS you WANT to be able to claim in court, when challenged, that your hands are tied?
Is he well and unharmed?
This cannot be allowed to happen here - not now, not ever. We can deport them if they are truly illegal but we must give them trials if they are here legally.
There is not a single American who should be ok with this
Otherwise, contracts aren't really "irrevocable" because the parties can renegotiate them regardless of original terms.
This is blatantly true of felon Donald Trump. Trump could have Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. today (4/14/2025) IF he wanted to.
First, that means they belong to us. We don't sell people.
Second, that means we have influence over what happens to them in El Salvador.
What's the issue here?
Will the arrangement not be revoked if the US stops paying the fee? That doesn't sound right to me.
Rather, it seems clear that the men's continuing incarceration is an ongoing service being rendered to the US government.
It's Human trafficking
— Deplorables
They could say: "we won't pay for him, please release him into our custody"
And if that didn't work: "we are pausing all payments till you release him back into our custody"
Remember: this is the nation which threatened military force against Holland, if the ICC would trial US service members fir their war crimes. 🙄

Back in the day this was a circumstance of considerable political capital.
Today it apparently means nothing. Just ask Denmark or Canada.
And they are doing it.

I want to see the document… dated and entered into the presidential archives
ICE killed him before he ever left the country, I'm certain of this now.
Donald has no power over them.
Just being a fucking Nazi maggot should suffice.
He always has.

House - begin impeachment articles now. Well put the pressure on a few Republicans in swing districts
like, yeah it wouldn't pass the Senate, ever, but the House?
It's tight enough that I could see scenarios where it can clear that threshhold...
Sorry
did you say tates or taints?
Its difficult to try and imagine the difference
facsist factor …
nuthin’ alpha nor animal spirit
about it.
One of our favorite billionaires could kidnap felon Donald Trump right off the street & fly Trump to a black op site!
- A place other than El Salvador because President Bukele would release Trump promptly.
Imagine Trump with a shaved head being waterboarded. That would be poetic justice!
Him look bad. Send seal team 6 in. Get him and on their way back arrest the president.
Trump is making money off of this.
El Salvador is making money off of this.
The money is coming from US taxpayers.
Bonus, they get to please the MAGA voters with their cruelty.
@repjasmine.bsky.social
I see some of you out there rallying. When you get back to work DRAFT THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. I do not want my tax dollars paying for human trafficking and torture.
#TraffickedbyTrump
However, his minions are not immune, and even if pardoned many, if not all, of those charges are covered by state laws, be they federal agents, etc. States could make them feel at least "unwelcome".
Wired: Selling the country out to El Salvador
That’s like asking frat boys to kick out a rapist.
It's just that Trump is *that* bad at business.
I think I saw that in Webster's once.
Places of elimination.
Neatly out of sight of the population so the masses will not get disturbed by the torturing and the eliminating.
The Reich of the Orange Felon is doing human trafficking.
Does anyone REALLY believe Trump cannot convince him to facilitate releasing Garcia back to the US???
El Salador's President to testify in Court
There have been no consequences and until there are?
They will continue to ignore all court rulings and flout the law
Who’s gonna stop them?
Mercenaries will b contracted 2 roundup US citzs & imprison in El Salvador
El Salvador is an independent, sovereign nation. It runs prisons. Abrego Garcia is in a prison run by another country. All these statements are true, but I don’t think they change anything.
The person would be detained pursuant to the sovereign domestic authority of France …
This is just one hypothetical. My suggestion is that the statement made by Kozak is true but likely obfuscatory, and may not have any significant bearing on the next steps taken by the court.
Trump wants to Avoid returning the men for due process!!
CBS said 75% of the men had NO criminal records— in or out of US!
