Didn't they US used to send special forces out to rescue people like that in the past?

That quote was... holy shit! I mean just say this is the man wrongly deported and put him on a passenger flight. First class at the very least.

Trump is going to send American citizens to a place where they can never return, even if sent by accident. The sky has fallen. Why did nobody listen?

But First-past-the-post voting is something we can change on a state by state basis outside of the terminally deadlocked congress.
This means democrats in blue states make it a policy choice to deny 3rd party voters the ability to vote how they want and transfer their vote if their preference didn't win.
Do you think the democrats are terrified at the prospect of having to compete for your vote? Compete with people that aren't cartoon villains?
Why do you feel that millions of people who aren't represented by the two mainstream political parties don't deserve representation in government?

7 month old account, >1000 posts and >3000 comments. That's 5 posts a day, every day. I've been heavily active for over a year and I don't even have 1/3 the number of comments. I'll let anyone reading this make of that what they will.

The US is paying El Salvador money to hold these people. Acting like there is nothing either can do is about as boldface a lie as there is. They can literally do anything they want and have control of both sides of any contracts.
This is them saying “what are you going to do about it?” And what should happen is people need to keep the pressure on so Congress sides with the courts asap (and this guys’ Senator is flying there next week to see him personally).
blady_blah 41 points 2 years ago
I'm kind of glad. I want the Supreme Court to realize sooner rather than later that Trump won't listen to them and that they're not his friend, just useful patsies.
I'm sorry for all the people that are caught up in Trump's bullshit. That guy is fucking evil.

And then what? He will just ignore them, then stack the courts if not simply replace the SC judges. Who is going to stop him at this point? He got away with every single crime in his life, of which there are too many to count. He's ignoring court orders and ruling by illegal executive orders. Nothing but an armed insurrection is going to stop him now.
This ship has sailed and won't change course without a mutiny.

There is no way that these two didn't talk about how to answer that question before the press event. This isn't the president of El Salvador saying he doesn't want to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, it's him saying that he is on Trump's side.
SoftestSapphic 18 points 2 years ago
Damn we shouldn't let him go home.
Like protesters need to arrest him and use him for a prisoner swap
Madison420 10 points 2 years ago
That is specifically not what he said. He says he differs to the state department who won't accept him because now they're saying he's a terrorist.
This is Trump's choice, not bukeles imposition.
Madison420 5 points a year ago
Correct that still means it's trump refusing not bukele.

Because trump paid them to murder these men. A satellite image of a mound of bloody bodies is being circulated online. They’re having masked right wing militants like the proud boys and oath keepers kidnap people shove them into unmarked cars and they are mass murdering them in El Salvador.
Phoenicianpirate 1 point a year ago
That is the most single pointless genocide ever committed then. The nazis and zionist want(ed) to kill everyone because they want the land... but Trump and Americans gain absolutely nothing by killing these people. If anything they lose a lot since the overwhelming majority of these people were vital workers.

You’re incorrect Hitler started his regime with the brown shirts SA committing widespread state sponsored domestic terrorism to stamp out any dissent

It's not el Salvador's responsibility to transport him back to the US.
I don't think he is being stopped from leaving, but it's up to the US to make it right, not El Salvador
EDIT: it wasn't clear from the article that he was being held in a prison. My bad on that.
Absolutely should be released, but it is still not on El Salvador to send him to the US.
lIlIlIlIlIlIl 59 points 2 years ago
What? He’s in a prison. Please correct me if I’m mistaken but generally “walking right on out” is like the one thing they get all weird about
AMoralNihilist 2 points a year ago
Yeah my bad, didn't realise he was being held in a prison. The article linked is just a tiny snippet so I was missing context.

Other than the fact that he’s in a death camp, nothing is stopping him from walking home!

I appreciate the well thought out response but this is a concentration camp. I think we are where we are politically is because we have downplayed the level of corruption we’re facing.

Israel had ex SS members in its Mossad founders and it urged the Nazis to deport German Jews https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
Your story is a fairy tale.

“How can I return him to the United States?” Bukele asked Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it."
It's good to know the people running the world have no fucking clue how the world runs.
