Yeah, but the Trump admin has already said the return is not possible.

So, what next?

Can the US return man deported to El Salvador? Immigration lawyers think so (yesterday)
www.bbc.com

... The Trump administration pushes back

US District Judge Paula Xinis wrote in a filing Sunday that ICE officials did not follow procedures in the Immigration and Nationality Act when they deported Mr Garcia to El Salvador.

She ruled the US must bring him back before midnight on Monday. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, writing that the US "has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street".

Yet the Trump administration has argued that it cannot comply, saying Judge Xinis' filing is outside her jurisdiction.

"Neither a federal district court nor the United States has authority to tell the Government of El Salvador what to do," US Solicitor General D John Sauer wrote in an appeal to the Supreme Court. ...

This specific case (and kudos to the Mr Garcia and his family) aside ...

Now do all the others who have been deported without due process.

Time to hijack a plane and fly it into the Supreme Court.

To save America, of course!

He's already dead. Convince me otherwise.

Quite literally why Trump administration says they can't bring him back. They presume he's already dead.

I agree.

3/4 of those rendered to El Salvador (NOT DEPORTED) committed no significant crime.

Magat scum are truly reprehensible

committed no significant crime.

What's your lower limit threshold on significant crime"?

"requires the government to "facilitate" Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and handle his case blah blah blah"

Have him released in El Salvador and tell him to show up for court in the US. This should be fun.

Violent Crimes only are significant.

Property Crimes are not significant unless violence is involved.

Shoplifting is NOT A SIGNIFICANT CRIME.

His "crime" was an old shoplifting conviction.

Not Significant.

What's your lower limit threshold on significant crime"?

I don't think one should be rendered to a torture prison in a country they've never been for shop lifting.

Magat scum find that idea incomprehensible.

He was doing EVERYTHING that America told him to do.
He is married to an American citizen
He has a special needs child who is an American citizen.

You act like HE did something wrong.

You wonder why people find you disgusting?

This is why

Lfthndturdgobbler is pure scum.

That's not what snoofy did, you dishonest hack.

Beanie which part of "Time to hijack a plane and fly it into the Supreme Court" does not suggest that?

He was being facetious you dumb ------- ----.

In a somewhat similar case... Trump's Thought Police are on the job!

Anyone that reads that as serious is dumber than dog crap or lying.

Which is it, you old hag?

And you're a moron who would rather someone with ties to a terrorist organization be released in our country so you can claim a victory. This guy isn't the All American immigrant fulfilling a dream of being a productive citizen as you'd have everyone believe. He was deported because of his gang affiliation and it's not just one brush with the law for "shoplifting".

Beanie, beanie, beanie. Spent yet?

I'm done giving you attention, liar.

Flag me and go away.

He was being facetious you dumb ------- ----.

Maybe send it to the Secret Service and see if they find it serious... Last time I checked, they see a very fine line between what is considered humorous or heinous.

The guy is from El Salvador, so no, he wasn't 'wrongly deported there'

He's their citizen, in their jail, in their jurisdiction, not ours.

The supreme court can eat a dick

Why am I not surprised you're defending an obvious liar?

9-0 bud.

The Trump administration conceded it was an error to deport him there.

Get your talking points straight.

"He's their citizen, in their jail, in their jurisdiction"

How's he get there?
Who did that to him?

He was born there and was returned there.

He's their citizen.

Supreme Court says Trump officials should help return wrongly deported Maryland man
www.npr.org

... "The order properly requires the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador," the Supreme Court said in its ruling.

The decision was a rare win for those challenging the administration's deportation orders. But it also left several key specifics unanswered for right now. The court said it was sending the case back to the district court judge to clarify one aspect of her decision "with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the order. ...

@#31 ... ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador," the Supreme Court said in its ruling. ...

So, due process.

Good.

And, if I may go back to #4 ...

... Now do all the others who have been deported without due process. ...

He was born there and was returned there.
#30 | Posted by THEBULL

How was he returned there, and more importantly, why?
Did he want to go there? Did he pay the cost of his own travel?

"The supreme court can eat a dick"

TheBull can be depended upon to make intelligent comments.....Not!!!!!

Donnie Dumbfuq is a colossal embarrassment.

#30

You're a ------- retarded pile of horse ----, sonny.

@#30 ... He's their citizen. ...

My understanding is that he is from Venezuela.

Yet, now he is in a prison in El Salvador.

So, is he a citizen of Venezuela or El Salvador?

Or is your alias just clueless?

Lamplighter,

My understanding is he's from El Salvador and was returned to El Salvador. However, a court order prohibited him to be returned to El Salvador because the judge determined he'd face serious retribution if returned to his home country.

#39 | Posted by BellRinger

That is also my understanding. Lamplighter can provide crucial context pointing to the otherwise.

My understanding is that he is from Venezuela.

He was born in El Salvador.

"My understanding is he's from El Salvador and was returned to El Salvador."

"Over 100,000 refugees from Vietnam were admitted to the United States by special laws in the mid-1970s."

You make it sound like sending them back to Vietnam is no big deal. Like there's something inherently right about sending someone back from whence they came.

Like it would be okay to send my mom back to the UK. Where she hasn't lived for seventy years.

@#39 ... My understanding is he's from El Salvador and was returned to El Salvador ...

OK.

I based my comment upon the Trump admin's assertion that he was caught up in the deportation of Venezuelan gang members.

Thanks for the correction.

Maybe send it to the Secret Service and see if they find it serious... Last time I checked, they see a very fine line between what is considered humorous or heinous.

Go for it. I'm calling your bluff, you damn well know he wasn't advocating actual violence.

@#40 ... Lamplighter can provide crucial context pointing to the otherwise. ...

I cannot.

And I thanked the current Bellringer alias for the correction.

Thanks for the follow-up.

@#2 ... So, what next?

OK, SCOTUS has ruled that he should be returned to the US.

What enforcement power does SCOTUS have in that ruling?

Let's say, the Trump admin just says, "no."

What next?

Let's say, the Trump admin just says, "no."

The Buffoon won't say "no." He'll shuck, jive, obfuscate and play obvious silly games until the case end up in the SC again.

Lefty, The DHS lawyers did not present a stitch of evidence tying him to a terrorist organization or gang affiliation. Even if he was affiliated, he would still be entitled to a hearing before deportation in light of the no deport order in effect.

He was kidnapped and falsely imprisoned, and those who took part in this fiasco could actually be prosecuted for those crimes under state law. I'd just love to see Maryland state troopers arrest a bunch of Federal Agents. Put Kristy Noem in an orange jumpsuit annd let the girls in the Baltimore cell block braid her hair.

Yup.

As I have stated here from the start of this episode....

Due Process.

Though, I have to say, I have not thought about the kidnapped aspect of this crime until you mentioned it.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
So we're different colours and we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me, though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so what could I have done?

[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

[Post-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
Help me understand
Help me understand, help me understand

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Now you're punching and you're kicking and you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far, it hasn't surfaced, but I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fists (Head to your fists)

[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
