The Psychic Observer 495 Posted April 14 The Trump administration insisted Sunday that it is not required to work with officials in El Salvador to secure the return of a man mistakenly deported to the country, days after the Supreme Court endorsed a federal judge’s directive that US officials must “facilitate” bringing him back stateside.

Democrats want the US to kidnap an El Salvador citizen and bring him back to the US. https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1911774232435962344?s=19 Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh BOOM! Top Trump advisor Stephen Miller just went BERSERK for 3 minutes straight on Fox over the media narrative that Trump must bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. Miller perfectly debunked this ENTIRE claim that Garcia's deportation was an "error." This entire thing is a MASTERCLASS. "We won the Supreme Court case. Clearly, 9-0, a district court judge said, unconscionably, that the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens, an El Salvadorian citizen - that would be kidnapping." "That we have to kidnap an El Salvadorian citizen against the will of his government and fly him back to America, which would be an unimaginable act and an invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty. So he appealed to the Supreme Court and it said - clearly, no district court can compel the president to exercise his Article II foreign powers." "DOJ called me after that Supreme Court ruling and they said, this is amazing. We won this case nine zero. We are an excellent standing here. So this has been portrayed wrong for 72 hours in the media." "They said the most a court could ever compel you to do would be to facilitate return, which would basically mean if El Salvador voluntarily sends him back we wouldn't block him at the airport. We would put him back into ICE detention and then he would be deported either back to El Salvador or somewhere else." "In 2019, he was ordered deported. He is a final removal order from the United States. These are things that no one disputes. Where is he from? El Salvador. Where is he a resident and citizen of? El Salvador. Is he here illegally? Yes. Does he have a deportation order? Yes." "A DOJ lawyer who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing incorrectly that this was a mistaken and removal. It was NOT! This was the right person sent to the right place." "Now some have said, well, but he had a thing called a 'withholding order.' A withholding order means you've been ordered deported, but an immigration judge is saying you cannot go back to a particular country. Here's the thing: if you are a member of a foreign terrorist organization, you cannot have a withholding order." "Since he's in MS-13, there is no withholding order. Furthermore, that gang he is accused of being persecuted by doesn't exist anymore in El Salvador! The 18th Street gang is GONE." "So you have an illegal alien from El Salvador. Bill, where are we supposed to send the illegal alien from El Salvador? To what country?" HOST: Are you convinced he is still a member of MS-13? That was your original charge. MILLER: "Yes. Do you stand by But here's the thing, Bill. Yes, but not only am I convinced of it, not only is El Salvador convinced of it. Bill, he's an illegal alien from El Salvador with a deportation order! So his only options in life, Bill, his only options in life are to be deported to El Salvador or to be deported to some other country. That's IT." @StephenM 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HellToupee 1,583 Posted April 14 yes please Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh JUST NOW - STEPHEN MILLER: "There is no upper limit to the agreement. We're going to CONTINUE to send foreign terrorist aliens to El Salvador, as well as to many other countries." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,391 Posted April 14 While I am very much rooting against Trump and Stephen Miller on this, they may have a point. I don’t know. I wish I knew better what the Supreme Court meant by the word “facillitate”. I wish they explained it better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,391 Posted April 14 So this is what I’m hearing on the news: John Roberts thought this was a perfect time to repudiate the Trump administration for bypassing the law, and to do that he wanted a 9-0 decision. But in order to get Alito and Thomas to agree, he had to change the language from “expedite” to “facilitate”. Now Miller and Trump have taken that word, “facilitate”, and driven a Mack truck through it. Miller claims that it only means that IF El Salvador decides of their own accord to send the guy back then the USA must accommodate that, but if El Salvador does nothing then the USA need do nothing. What a mess. I see two options: 1. A lower court tacitly accepts Miller’s interpretation. I suspect this is the most likely option, because the alternative would surely create a firestorm: 2. The lower court holds the government in contempt. If they want to be really brave they can start putting people in jail (like Tom Homan). Of course the government appeals and this goes right back to the SC to explain what “facilitate” means. I’m guessing in that instance it wouldn’t be a 9-0 decision.

Why do you want an El Salvador citizen sent here? Exactly. He’s a citizen of El Salvador. Absolutely Trump could pressure them to send him here. But about the only time I can think of we pressure foreign nations to extradite their citizens it’s for criminal prosecution. Facilitate may mean we offer to fly him back here. If Bukele says “no” to sending him, I’m not sure what the court would be able to say Trump should do. We all know he could pressure them and get him. Not every government would be able to be pressured though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 2,121 Posted April 14 Would it be facilitating his return to buy him an openended airline ticket, say business class, from El Salvador to Washington D.C. and placing it with his belongings at the prison so he could use it when he gets out? We he also need some sort of temporary or one use Visa included with the ticket? Frankly I do not know what actions would amount to or fulfill the obligation to facilitate.

I'd guess something like arranging a flight. I can't think of where we request countries to send us their citizens other than extradition for criminal prosecution. That's not what this is so very much a one off type situation. I doubt this is covered by any treaty, so they may simply decline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are against Trump on every issue, it tells us everything we need to know about who is being genuine. This isn't 2019. Very few people trust them on anything. It's really as simple as whatever stance CNN and MSNBC liberal anchors take, it's probably a good 90% chance they are wrong or lying. It's easy to take Trump's side then. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 5,182 Posted April 14 Lefties need to quit saying he was here legally. He was NOT. He had a final order of deportation. The ONLY reason some lefty judge didn't let him be deported before was his argument that a rival gang would kill him if he returned to El Salvador. But now he CLAIMS he's not a gang member. Hmmmmm........Plus, the gang he's a member of has been classified as a terrorist organization which may change things as well. In any case, he was NOT here legally. Quit saying that.
