His answer, unequivocally, was “yes.” It's amazing how far the right has gone so quickly. Did you read what the Reagan appointed judge said yesterday? For those that don't know, trump appealed the ruling that he return Garcia and was blocked, again. The government “claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.” True conservatism. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want him returned because he didn’t receive due process. It’s pretty simple. I agree, but to be clear, the "due process" is that he had a legal stay of deportation to El Salvador. Earlier courts had accepted his affiliation with MS-13, so I'm good with that. Which reminds me: a gang member can get a stay of deportation because they fear another gang? Isn't that, like, what you sign up for when you join a gang? Seems like weak sauce; any gang member can make that claim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s worth having a reasonable discussion about. I’m not particularly sympathetic to this particular guy’s case based on what has been reported. But he deserves to make his case. I’m much more sympathetic to the plight of Afghan refugees who assisted our military, in part because I’m personally involved. And I am extremely angry at the Trump administration for shutting down their passage here. In my mind it’s the most awful thing they have done and I’ve yet to hear any kind of defense for it.

Regardless, it's funny how you centrists dismiss this ruling(s), but you consider the questionable stay of deportation as gospel. Stephen Miller and others have said it (so of course all the sheep repeated it without actually researching it), but it is a lie at worst, at best a gross misrepresentation. The original “ruling” was only to determine whether he could get bond. It didn’t “rule” that he was in MS-13, it just said that the accusation he was “appeared trustworthy” so he was denied bond. Then all the appeals court said was that he didn’t do a good enough job “proving he wasn’t a danger.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your back must hurt from the goalposts you just moved. I’ve never said he shouldn’t be deported (because he entered the country illegally). But the evidence of him being a gang member is flimsy at best, and I think people like JD Vance definitively stating that he is is wrong. Again, at best, one judge did that. All the current evidence suggests that the judges saw the same evidence we did, a report filed by a dirty cop based primarily on a claim from a criminal informant and pieces of clothing. Also, the “80” side of this is the one that respects the Supreme Court. There are even plenty of Republicans on that side as well. IIRC, didn’t even you say we should ask for him back?
