Trump is hoping no one asks about Due Process for the Other 250+ men Trump sent to the gulag.
8 women & a man have been returned to the U.S. - the gulag wasn’t functional for women & they weren’t part of the Contract.

Trump: I HAVE the power to bring the Tate Bros back home, despite them being FORMALLY indicted & in jail awaiting trial to fulfill due process in Romania.
Trump: I DONT HAVE the power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from a concentration camp in El Salvador WITHOUT criminal charges/indictments.

Republicans don’t care anymore about Jesus than they do Lincoln. But they use the words to disguise their corruption.

Because the 8th amendment protects against cruel and unusual punishment in the US, not El Salvador. Due process is the main issue in these cases right now.

How has nobody argued that a deportation to CECOT is an 8th Amendment violation?

Time to start jailing people for contempt

The judge is entitled to not consider it ambiguous and jail them in contempt. They can appeal and the judge can “facilitate” getting the court record to the Sup Ct over the next month or two while they sit in jail. Judges need to use their power and they can play games too.

The Supreme Court couldn’t help itself but put in place wishy washy language; you wouldn’t use that kind of language with a defiant kid but they seem to be willing to wait until Trump has them tied to a stake covered in gasoline and brandishing a match before they make a firm statement.

Also, the judge can order US payments to El Salvador to cease until Garcia is returned to the US hale and hearty.

Yep. It’s transactional. They are not guilty of any crimes in El Salvador. They weren’t extradited. They weren’t returned to El Salvador. We pay to have them there. We could pay to get them back.

We don't have to pretend it is some sensitive foreign policy matter, either, no matter what they claim in court. There's no way Trump can't just pick up the phone and tell Bukele to release him. He just won't do it. We don't have to pretend it's any more complicated than that.

What Musk truly seems to be saying is that Americans need to be worker peasants for the few wealthy overlords, instead of having the chance to pursue a life of intellectual enrichment, health, and happiness. Honestly, who wants their children to become miners? Nobody, not even actual miners!

Because people are things you just "shift," not workers with lives and training and desires and preferences and all of that. Sorry professor, you make tires now.

So sick of that arrogant, racist, sexist pig thinking he should be telling the USA what they should and shouldn't do or be. God complex?
He and the tech broligarchy need to be disconnected in ways that make them powerless. They have already proven that are abusing their power and abusing us.
