In It to Win It

He was protected from deportation by a legal settlement. Trump deported him anyway.

The Trump administration’s deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador — and its failure to bring him back to the U.S. — has sparked a fierce courtroom battle and a public firestorm.

But there is a second man who, according to a judge, was also improperly deported to El Salvador and must be returned.

His case has received far less attention than Abrego Garcia’s, and most details about him — including his name — have been kept confidential in the court fight over his deportation.

But POLITICO has identified him as Daniel Lozano-Camargo, a 20-year-old citizen of Venezuela who was living in Houston and running a car detailing business until March 15, when the Trump administration declared him an “alien enemy” and swiftly deported him to an El Salvador prison along with hundreds of other men.

Lozano-Camargo’s case is emblematic of many of the men caught up in President Donald Trump’s unusual — and legally questionable — invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Like many of the Venezuelans expelled under the wartime authority, he contends he came to the U.S. to escape persecution in his home country. And also like many of the other deportees, his family members believe he was accused of being a Venezuelan gang member primarily because of his tattoos.

I would imagine it's standard procedure that these identifying markers were logged when they got here, mostly as refugees. Trump had been going on about Venezuelan gangs having been 'sent to the US' after Maduro supposedly 'emptied the prisons and sent them here' (which is fucking bullshit). And about how they were 'taking over entire towns' (also bullshit). He wanted a big, splashy arrest party and a show of 'strength' against these totally imaginary people he invented, so the MASA fascists could get their tiny woodies up over it.

So all Trump did was have ICE look up men that were observed to have tattoos when they arrived, and that could be easily found because they're either in jail (which is only a few of them) or who were known because they're doing everything properly, reporting their addresses and jobs to the immigration authorities ... and rounded them up and shipped them out to a foreign gulag. FOR FUCKING SHOW, like the fascist asshole he is.

BRING THEM ALL BACK FOR DUE PROCESS!!!

IIRC it was under a temporary 'Parole' program. I'm saying 'this is how these particular ones were chosen', not by an actual, fair review of all the facts.

I've been trying to figure out how the gestapo are finding these people. It was obvious they were able to get court dates/records but what about people that didn't have anything before a court. It then became obvious, to me anyway, that they were using income tax records. The kidnapping of the people we hear about are all gainfully employed and following the rules. The 2024 form 1040 now asks the question to check a box and list the name of a spouse if treating one as a non-resident alien or dual status alien.
Space Nazi had many reasons to get into our tax info.

Just rambling on this early morning trying to make sense of all this.
