I was hoping this was the onion.

~~Please be accurate when you criticize the administration. No US citizen has been sent to El Salvador.~~

~~The guy the SC told Trump to get back was a legal immigrant, and a citizen of El Salvador.~~

Edit: Well. I'm embarrassed. I misread the meme and my brain skipped the "married to a" part.

do we actually know that no US citizen has been sent? Without due process, there's no way to confirm. Or am I missing something?

Hey entwine, just an FYI -- Kilmar Ábrego García was not a legal immigrant. He was an illegal immigrant (of course, this doesn't mean he was charged with a crime) who was granted a protection from deportation to El Salvador by a US judge on the grounds that he would be in danger from El Salvadorean gangs. He has had a work permit since 2019.

Nevertheless, he was not granted due process and this administration is violating court orders.

Worth noting, though, Trump is talking about sending “homegrown criminal” to El Salvador prisons. Considering Trump does not define “criminal” as someone convicted of a crime, this is genuinely scary.

I should've double-checked the meme before reposting. I'll edit it.

Yeh, use the wording: Legal Resident

I think the meme means Abrego Garcia, who was a legal resident, not a citizen.

Thx. Thought that was the case but didn't know if I missed news on someone else being kidnapped

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

If you did, I did too. Or maybe it's just a matter of time.

Lol MAGAts aren't doing what the meme says, they're cheering it on, because ThOSe DaMn DeMoCrAps are finally getting taken care of

I don't see that at all. The only MAGA that I'm still connected to on Facebook hasn't posted anything about the Abrego Garcia situation since it happened. He's literally doing the Homer thing, and the shrubs are his other posts about the weather and stuff. He went from posting about Trump all the time to kinda pretending like he doesn't exist.

Meanwhile, the MAGAts around my parents' house in the middle of rural Indiana have taken down all of their Trump flags. They were already at a low ebb before the election; now there are only two houses with Trump signs up on my route to their house, and I'm pretty sure one of them is owned by an old woman who can't walk.

This just isn't happening on the ground. Only on Fox, as far as I can tell.
