U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to "facilitate" his return to the United States.

Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court's order to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should "remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien's ability to return here," not help extract him from El Salvador.

He’s dead isn’t he? That or they’re afraid of what he’ll say about those inhumane gulags that Bucale built when he suspended civil liberties and tossed anyone who looked at him sideways into prison and called them gang members.

The Supreme Court says you're required to! But even if you're not required to, you shouldn't have to be required to, you should do the right thing because it's the right thing. Any decent president would be beside himself with guilt for sending someone to megaprison who shouldn't be there

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

America will always do the right thing.

After they've tried literally everything else.

The SC was complicit when they chose the word “facilitate” instead of giving measurable tasks.

make (an action or process) easy or easier.

That’s so fucking little a requirement, it’s effectively not one. How no one saw this I don’t know.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And yet the Trump admin still failed to follow it

Headline should only read "trump administration commits contempt of court and perjury."

After facilitating kidnapping and felony false imprisonment?

What's one more felony to this guy, though?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thatd be number 35

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

And still face no consequences

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Lets kidnap Trump, send him to this same prison and pretend the same thing. Oh, then it would suddenly be different somehow. These absolute fucking bozos deported him erroneously and they have the audacity to open their filthy mouths with an excuse "we don't have to return him". WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Send Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. They're not white, so the Republicans won't bat an eyelid at them being sent.

If you kidnap Trump, JD Vanice becomes president and declares war on ElSelvador for abducting Trump.

Or perhaps does nothing and enjoy presidency who knows

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Nah, they’d just donate one of their fantastic sofa’s to the White House and JD would get in line.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then kidnap both. It's not deportation, it's sending them to exotic country for free.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Mike Johnson after Vance

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You know, we don't do due process anymore. That could be interesting.

Edit: it's not kidnapping anymore, just sending folks. I bet the orange guy can't immediately present his proof that he can be in the states. If only cops weren't such cowards, any of them could do things.

That's not the beginning, it's more than halfway past now

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that was 2016. and it's been awhile in the making.

just a few of the highlights: 60s-70s goldwater/nixon and the southern strategy.. the 80s reaganomics, deregulation, abolishment of fairness doctrine.. the 90s newt & co, the rise of far-right media.. 2000 scotus stopping the count and picking the 'winner'.. 2010 citizens united.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I can’t agree with you on the fairness doctrine specifically; first it only applied to over-the-air broadcasting, (so ABC, NBC, etc.) but not cable or the Internet. Secondly it was largely interpreted by these networks as forcing fringe views into the main stream. So they would have a faith healer on at the same time as a doctor, or a creationist on at the same time as a paleontologist. There are those who feel that this led directly to our current “my faith is as important as your reason” problem.

The beginning was like two months ago; we're now about 40% of the way in.

Republican voters just shoving their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, pretending this isn't happening

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nah, they just think you have to break some eggs to make an omelette. But, the least you could do is clean up the mess you make.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Talk about easy campaigning.

"Your constituent hasn't stood up for for an innocent man who was wrongly deported to a mega prison.

Do you think they'd stand up for you?"

“It won’t happen to me. I’m the right color/race/Party/occupation/etc. it will only happen to the ‘bad’ people.”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

You kind of just highlighted the problem. Until the thing happens to them, they think it won’t. As long as that’s true, most of them are lost causes.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The ones who voted for the people doing repeated nazi signals? Who voted for the guy who told people chanting “Jews will not replace us” with torches, to “stand by”? The voters who voted for the guy who became political by claiming he had proof President Obama faked his birth certificate and was actual a Kenyan Muslim manchurian candidate? You mean, those voters?

They are pretending this isnt happening?

No. They are simply silent because they are way too occupied masturbating to these developments to vocalize their specific support online or wherever, at least until they finish.

Jokes aside, its likely they learned from Nazi supporters in the 1940s that they should remain quiet, so they can feign ignorance later.

They know it’s happening, and they love it.

Yeah, they're testing the water to see how far they can push

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Based on what we’re seeing, they can push all the way to the ovens.

You been reading Stephen Millers diary again?

Ever since Trump got elected, we keep hearing a lot about South American prisons...

I'm pretty convinced they're warming us up to concentration camps.

Guantanamo Bay was just expanded from fewer than 1000 cells to 30.000 cells.
