The arrest of Maryland resident Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador, who has lived in the United States for the past 15 years, and his rapid deportation to the maximum security prison run by the dictator of El Salvador, all an administrative error, is an outrageous violation of human rights.
Garcia was identified as a Venezuela gang member wrongfully, and the concept of removing anyone to prison overseas without due process, a writ of habeus corpus–without charges, a court hearing, and ability to have a lawyer defend his rights in court—smacks of open Fascism, in the vein of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and other vicious dictators past and present. This is a threat to all Americans, whether citizens or migrants.
The Justice Department under Pam Bondi has been moving slowly on expediting this 29 years old family man’s return, despite the Supreme Court calling for the expediting of the return.
Tomorrow, Monday, April 14, the dictator of El Salvador is visiting the White House, and he should come with Mr. Garcia, to resolve the matter.
There is no excuse for any further delay, and every American should see this situation as a dire threat to all Americans, that if one person can be illegally deported without basic rights guaranteed to all residents in the nation, then all of us are unsafe!
And Garcia would have every right to speak his mind about his now month long incarceration and abuse he has suffered, as this violation of human rights is a danger sign to all Americans!
Trump and Bukele make clear mistakenly deported Maryland father won’t be returned to US.
In addition to that, Trump says he’s open to deporting “homegrown” criminals to El Salvador.
Trump and Bukele must think Americans are either ignorant or incredibly gullible.
I suggest a prisoner exchange. Bring Mr. Garcia home and send the Orange Dictator to El Salvador!
HAHA, Former Republican, I endorse that idea ONE THOUSAND PERCENT! 🙂
Um….Hello?…..Congress?…..Wake uuuuuppppp…..the Constitutional crisis is here…..King Donald is defying the Supremes.
If this was some Proud Boy named Lynyrd Skynyrd from Sweet Home Alabama, Trump would have had him back on a plane ride home immediately.
Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S.
“The Trump administration wants to send anyone it wants, including U.S. citizens, to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.”

Without any evidence whatsoever, the Trump regime is calling Mr. Garcia a “foreign terrorist”.
Professor Lawrence Tribe says Trump needs to be impeached by the Senate for defying the Supreme Court.
Chuck Grassley confronted about this at a town hall…
I thought the House had to initiate impeachment?
Don’t count on this current House doing anything.
Good to see those people holding Chuck Grassley accountable for not doing his job!
At Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall…
Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked critical questions, was interrupted by protesters and officers used stun guns on several attendees after a scuffle.

BTW, just a reminder that The Guardian is a FAR superior paper to the Washington Post and pretty much any other U.S.-based newspaper, whether in their international coverage, climate coverage, US political coverage, you name it pretty much! So definitely consider subscribing to it/reading it every day.
Some top House Democrats are also trying to send a delegation to El Salvador.
