So, if Salvador's president "of course" isn't going to return the wrongly deported man......

[DFW]

Can a brigade of National Guard or State Police, completely in violation of all courts, detain their President Ukulele as long as they see fit?

What an asshole--he said he's not going to smuggle Kilmar back into the USA. No one asked him to. A coach class airplane ticket, with Kilmar's name on the plane's manifest, would do just fine.

Institutionalized cruelty--the trade mark of Trump and everyone that likes working with him.

1. Not to mention the end of the rule of law.

[rich7862]

4. When the turd ran for any election that was the end of the rule of law.

[markodochartaigh]

18. In 2015 when the

Republicans chose an authoritarian Strong Leader who was not committed to democracy as the head of their party, the writing was on the wall.

[Scrivener7]

6. You're right, of course. Still, it's heartbreaking to watch hit happen.

[Escurumbele]

27. trump and Rubio must be paying him for each person he holds, just like private prisons charge.

The take of all this is the fact that trump sent an special envoy to Venezuela to "negotiate" with Maduro, well not "negotiate", according to them "they were not there to negotiate but to let the dictator know what he had to do", and some of it was to release all the USA citizens the dictator apprehended, and I believe that number was 12 at the time, the other "order" was for Maduro to take ALL of the "Tren de Aragua" criminals.

1. Maduro left the "Special Envoy" waiting inside their plane for hours.
2. Maduro did not return ALL the USA people he was "ordered" to let go. He only released six.
3. Maduro DID NOT take ALL the "Tren de Aragua" criminals, and the few he did were welcomed by Maduro's righ-hand-man, Diosdado Cabello, as heroes, which leads me to believe these criminals were sent on purpose to hurt Biden/Kamala campaign, and I would not doubt trump had something to do with it This fantasy that trump is going to bring down Maduro is just that, a fantasy, trump admires Maduro.
4. Little Marco had to go running to El Salvador to negotiate with Bukele, so now the USA is paying Bukele to hold those criminals in his jails, the Tax Payers are paying for it.

Maduro cleaned his butt with trump/Rubio, and why? Because Maduro is protected by Putin.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. This Ukulele is a complete asshole. n/t

[dchill]

28. But he's the Prez al dente!

[soldierant]

41. Well, that's a new take on "Eat the rich."

[autorank]

50. El Prez had better hope Trump is president forever

If any of the people he's housing are harmed in any way, the Prez may get a chance to enjoy a federal super-MAX.

[RoeVWade]

3. Trump got people out of Russia, and N Korea, but El Salvador, hell no.

Asshole.

[magicarpet]

11. The trDUMP team got the Tate Brothers,...

.... out of Romania to visit MAGA Lardo and play a few rounds of golf.
But getting Garcia out of El Salvador is a no deal - Art of the Deal this Fascist clown can't pull off ? What bullshit,.. who do they think they are fooling ?

[Attilatheblond]

34. Trump likely told him to say no

And that might be due to illegally deported man is already messed up or un-alived. Also, that way, Trump can blame foreign leader for Trump not obeying court order to return the man stateside.

[riversedge]

5. Bukele: "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it."...

Bukele is and dangerous as Trump.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, President Bukele says he won't return Abrego Garcia, who was accidentally sent to El Salvador. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it."

Link to tweet

[sop]

7. Bukele is just following Trump's orders.

Abrego Garcia will never leave El Salvador as long as Trump has anything to say about it. Dictator Don needs something to distract corporate media from his tariffs fiasco, Bukele's torture gulag should keep the media occupied with "due process" stories for a while.

[LiberalArkie]

8. For Trump to ask for the return of Kilmar, Trump would have to admit it was a mistake. That is something that no

authoritarian has never done or will ever do.

[dchill]

33. In particular, TRUMP has never admitted to a mistake.

[highplainsdem]

9. Not just cruelty, but an FU from Trump to any court that tries to stop him.

[dalton99a]

10. +1

[William Seger]

12. Someone needs to take this to the International Court of Justice, even if it seems futile

... just like a lot of people need to be talking seriously about impeachment, even if it seems futile. Not doing anything is a guaranteed loser.

[markie]

15. amen to that

never will get there if we don't try

[SheltieLover]

35. Absolutely!

[TommyT139]

51. Even Biden didn't respect the Intl Court. :(

Most recently because we would have had to stop helping Israel with genocide.

[benfranklin1776]

13. Time for us to introduce a resolution in Congress demanding his return and cutting off funding for this gulag hellhole.

And suspending any and all monetary transfers of any kind to ElSalvador until this man is rightfully returned. Make the Rethuglicans go on record supporting their orange master’s terrorist thuggery if they dare.
While that is going on the Judge overseeing his case needs to find Agent Orange in contempt and fine his sorry ass personally a million dollars a day until this man is returned. 🤬🤬

[SheltieLover]

36. Yes!!!

[benfranklin1776]

37. ✊🏼 🗽✊🏼

We are ALL Kilmar Abrego Garcia now.
🇺🇸

[SheltieLover]

38. Yes we are!

That poor man & his family!!! And our poor country!

[HereForTheParty]

14. I wonder if DOJ lawyers will use this

to prop up the story that Garcia is out of our reach.

[DFW]

17. It wouldn't surprise me.

Bondi is both a liar and a sadist. The depth of evil.

[vapor2]

29. NO BOTTOM

[nature-lover]

16. We need proof of life.

[Dan]

32. That was my thought...

[usaf-vet]

19. Maybe here is the problem. Remember, with Trump, it is NEVER his mistake.

[Pinback]

20. "The Trump administration just last week changed a travel advisory for El Salvador,

…grouping it with some of the least dangerous countries for Americans to visit.”
- NY Times today

Oh yeah, great place for a destination wedding!

This should not be a decision for the Salvadoran dictator. But since we’re now fighting our own dictator, that’s where we are. Horrifying.

[LymphocyteLover]

24. JFC it is so unbelievably SICK!!!

[Mtnmama]

21. This is not a Christian president

And any person serving him cannot be Christian. Most hypocritical president and republican party ever. I just pray they all get the same cruelty they so easily inflict on others.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. he is a sick man and actually fits all of the criteria of the Antichrist.

[Grumpy Old Woman]

22. Just Contacted My Congress Critters

https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member

If you aren't upset by this, you aren't paying attention.

[LymphocyteLover]

25. Yes, I've been meaning to do that

thanks for the link

[Xipe Totec]

26. If we could get Brittney Griner back from the Russians we can get Abrego back from this piss-ant

It's just a farce. He's doing whatever Trump tells him to do.

[sop]

30. Trump will likely declare a "State of Exception" like Bukele has in El Salvador.

"In March, 2022...the Legislative Assembly, at Bukele’s order, responded by decreeing a State of Exception giving extraordinary powers to the Police and suspending procedural guarantees and constitutional rights such as freedom of association and the right to private communications. These measures, which the law prescribes to last for a month, have been extended 24 times and are still in place. In two years, at least 78,175 people have been detained and incarcerated, at times for the mere reason of appearing nervous to a police officer. Today, 2.46 percent of the Salvadoran adult population is in prison."

El Salvador has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

[TheSocialDem]

31. Now what? nt

[damifino10]

39. Simple return trip

The next load of prisoners shipped there, simply put the gentleman on board for the return trip to Ununitrd States
of America.
Next fucking case!!!

[AntiFascist]

40. I'd like to see State Police do that...

it would really bring this Constitutional Crisis to a head.

[turbinetree]

42. Why when your part of criminal cabal............and get paid for it...............

[DFW]

43. Whose part?

My part? I'm confused.

[turbinetree]

44. These two are not going to do anything ............the guy from El Salvador and the orange hair guy..............sorry

my clarification...........

[chowmama]

45. So, are we pretending that he's not being paid to keep him?

Stop the payments, he gets out. Pay him to give him back - we get him back. El Presidente doesn't do anything for free, but will do anything for money.

On the other hand, if he's already dead or too damaged to avoid an international incident, that might be a motive for keeping him for free. I prefer to think El Presidente is being well paid to keep him.

When is the press going to follow the money?

[Emile]

46. Congress needs to obey the Supreme Court and

stop sending our tax dollars to El Salvador to keep people in prison.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

47. This is horrifying madness.

Can't say I'm surprised, but that does not help.

[iemanja]

48. He's doing Trump's bidding

That much is obvious. The clear remedy is for SCOTUS to demand no one else be sent to El Salvador.

[DFW]

49. If that were an order from the Supreme Court, Trump would ignore that too.

Some day (I hope), this "so whatcha gonna do about it?" attitude is going to get him in trouble. If I could only figure out from whom! His worst enemy right now seems to be Mother Nature. No matter how lucky he got with his cholesterol tolerance, no executive order is going to unclog his arteries.

[proud patriot]

52. the look on trump's face

when the el savador president said "he wouldn't return a terrorist to the U.S." was pure
EVIL Wickedness .
