Just like you do daily. Guy been in the game and has keener insight than you or I do.
Excerpts from an article by Byron York:
“We deport many people to El Salvador,” Art Arthur, a longtime immigration judge who now studies the subject for the Center for Immigration Studies, notes. “Generally, they arrive at the airport, walk out, and live their lives. Why is Abrego Garcia in prison?”
Some of what follows is based on a recent conversation with Arthur. There was speculation involved because there is much we don’t know about the case. On the other hand, Arthur knows a lot about the subject generally, having worked on immigration issues in the Justice Department, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, and on Capitol Hill. We started with the big question.
“Why did the Salvadoran government put this guy in jail — that’s a question I don’t know,” Arthur said. “What I think is that everybody has this case backwards. People think Trump threw this guy out of the U.S. because he wants to throw out all MS-13 in the U.S. It makes more sense that the Salvadoran government asked for this guy back.”
“There’s no reason why the Trump administration would want this guy in jail in El Salvador,” Arthur concluded. “As long as he is out of the United States, that’s what we care about. The only organization that would want him in jail in El Salvador is the government of El Salvador.”
There’s no doubt that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has been waging an intense and enormously successful war against gangs in his country. He’s pretty much put an end to Barrio 18, which played a role in the Abrego Garcia case. And he has done a lot of damage to MS-13.

“There must be some reason that the Salvadoran government put Abrego Garcia into the prison that they put all the MS-13 members into,” Arthur said. “As I understand it, it’s strictly a gang prison.” Arthur added that Abrego Garcia’s original alibi, from his 2019 run-in with U.S. immigration authorities, was that his family had been extorted by Barrio 18 over the profits of their small pupusa business and that therefore he feared returning to El Salvador. It is a classic gang tale, Arthur said: “Abrego Garcia’s original story was that Barrio 18 wants to hurt me. Extortion claims like that are very, very, very common in gang cases. It makes a lot more sense if he’s MS-13. When I was a judge, I probably heard that claim 30 times.” Indeed, it makes all the sense in the world for a gang member not to want to return to the country where rival gang members want to kill him.
Arthur said that were he still a judge, he would not have granted Abrego Garcia’s 2019 request for “withholding of removal” — that is, the judge’s decision to issue a removal order for Abrego Garcia but bar the government from sending him to El Salvador. That pretty much let Abrego Garcia stay in the U.S. indefinitely. “Generally, if you’re granted withholding, they don’t bother deporting you,” Arthur said. “You’re never going to become a citizen, and you’re never going to get a green card.”

I feel like it’s going to catch on. We’re still a year and half away from the midterms. It can get really, really annoying by then.
Dumber than you do when you respond? Is that mathematically possible?!
The direction of your party anymore isn't very good. Even Jamie Raskin slipped and 'if' we ever get back in power....LOL
It’s not concern over the party, but over whether Trump goes full fascist and cancels election, as seemed to be his intent when he said we wouldn’t have to vote anymore.
Paranoia will destroy ya. I saw a clown on X pushing the same horsecrap.
Was Trump lying?
Give me a quote.
Not so sure about that.
/——/ You’re trying too hard to be cute. Cars built in America have no tariffs. If you want a different foreign car then pay the tariffs.

According to the White House, importers of automobiles covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), will be able to certify which systems used in their vehicles are U.S.-sourced, meaning the 25 percent tariffs will only apply "to the value of their non-U.S. content."

The White House expects the action to generate $100 billion in annual revenue and drive a resurgence in domestic automobile manufacturing.www.newsweek.com

A removal order is due process.
/——/ Read the last paragraph of my post. It says the exact same thing you claim I missed. DERP And we will start making the parts in the US to avoid the tariffs. That's the plan, moron. And I believe in freedom of choice. If you want the BMW built in Germany, then you'll pay the tariff. No one said you couldn't buy one.Whoosh! Everything i just said flew over your head. You're brushing off the very thing you would have flew off the handle with if Biden were doing even 10% of what Trump is doing.
Most of those cars listed still use anywhere from 25-45% of components sourced outside the US. That means 25-45% of the car will be tariffed 25%. The Honda Odyessy for example has 45% of his components made in China. That means that 45% will be tariffed at 145%. All this, and these are supposedly the "most American made" cars. What about the cars who are not "mostly American made?" Why can't people simply buy the car they actually want? What about all the freedoms you ppl were screeching over when Biden wanted to impose stricter emissions standards? LOL.
Goldfish memory! ^^^
He promised we wouldn’t have to vote anymore. Was he lying then or is he lying now?
/----/ Hyperbole escapes you? Seriously, you're smart enough to know how Trump jokes and pokes fun.
