Thanks for confirming. The thing is, it doesn't matter. The only reason to bring Garcia back is the legal stay of deportation. In the general case, being here illegal is sufficient for deportation. The gang thing is a bonus to further justify it. There will be, nor should there be, a "day in court" for every person being deported. There will be no trials to determine somebody's gang status; I strongly doubt that being in a gang is technically illegal, so there would be nothing to try. The sooner you Centrists figure it out, the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 374 Posted April 21 Something I don’t understand - ok this guy has an affidavit from 2019 from an arresting officer via a CI who said he was MS13. If ICE really believes that then arrest him for that & seek information on MS13 leadership & crimes committed. That’s how good law enforcement defeats crime. Interrogate & prosecute the guy.

You missed my point. He doesn't need to be charged with anything else, nor put through an entire formal trial. It is neither practical nor legally necessary. The Left seems to be working on a plan of making it easy peasy to get into the country, but then incredibly difficult to get out. We need to rid you of the illusion that there will be a long, drawn out process for each deportation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sooner you Centrists figure it out, the better. Don't conflate "a day in court" with "due process" like Stephen Miller does. It's very easy to have due process and could take a few minutes. If Garcia had his due process then the court would have ruled that he cannot be deported to El Salvador and he would still be in MD. If the government wants to deport him they could either get the 2019 ruling overturned or make the case to deport him somewhere else. No need for a trial.

Sorry I wasn’t clear, I’m not talking about being charged with something here, I’m talking about being charged with something in El Salvador. I’m fine with him being deported (even to El Salvador TBH), I’m not fine with him being imprisoned there. If El Salvador is going to keep him in prison they need to charge him with something.

That doesn't infer that he needs to be charged with a crime to be deported. The whole reason the "He hasn't been charged with a crime" is being used is because the right is saying "He's a wife beater, he's in a gang, he's a human trafficker..." If any of that was true then he should have been charged with a crime. Instead he was illegally sent to an El Salvador prison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wife apparently didn't file criminal charges, just a civil order of protection. Being in a gang isn't a crime per se.

That's a lot of words to agree with me. Being in MS-13 is not a crime per se. The administration could have done a lot of things, but in case you didn't notice, they are in most cases just moving fast and acting. They just chose to deport the alleged MS-13 member who allegedly beat his wife (alleged #metoo) and allegedly drove a bunch of illegal aliens up from the border.* Their mistake was missing the stay of deportation. * "allegeds" are for the benefit of @TimHauck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree. MS-13 is designated as an international criminal organization, it was well before Trump. If you're in it you're getting busted. The things you list are pointless. The restraining order is a state matter and if he was driving aliens up... then the Feds bust the caravan. The only thing that matters is that in 2019 a federal judge released Garcia and that is the standing order, one that the Trump administration did not appeal. Right now the Feds are in violation of that 2019 order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As usual they bury the lead for a headline the weaklings would click on. Nobody forced her into a safe house. But... Quote She has acknowledged difficulties in their relationship, largely due to financial stress, raising special needs children, and Abrego Garcia’s 2019 arrest by immigration authorities, according to The Washington Post. That pressure “boiled over” during an argument in 2021. Vasquez Sura said it was an isolated incident she attributed to the strain of his immigration detention and being a parent without steady work. Special needs kids. Figures. Never had steady work. Figures. He beat me but didn't really mean it. So glad we're getting rid of the losers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
