Your argument is with Newsweek, then, not with me. It's possible that Newsweek got it wrong and it was his family that sent him. But Newsweek said it was the gang.
From your link:
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to return a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was expelled last month along with hundreds of alleged gang members, must be returned to the US by no later than Monday, US District Judge Paula Xinis ordered.
How can you take that seriously? It is an impossible order. It seems designed to give media talking heads another excuse to accuse Trump of "ignoring" a court order. That's why I was willing to make that lopsided wager with you and why you knew better than to accept it.
If Trump had suddenly "snapped out of it" (as you would see it) and said, "Holy COW! I can't keep ignoring these judges. This Paula chick is far more powerful than I! All hands on deck! Your priority is to get this Kilmar guy back to the U.S. immedately!" it could not be done by Monday. That order was issued with zero good faith.
You still did not way whether you think he should be released in El Salvador and given a plane ticket to illegally immigrate to Maryland again?
As I explain here:
Democrats on here keep returning to the failed immigration bill that the Democrats tried to sneak by us with the help of a few misguided Republicans. Like a dog to his own vomit, they cannot resist returning to it.
Part of that bill was to add many more immigration judges. The stated reason was to "clear up the backlog." The backlog was caused by Biden's
la invitaction that led to the flood of illegals from all over the world, not by any shortage of immigration judges, but that was the logic.

Immigration...
Immigration judges work for the Department of Justice. They are not like federal judges who are an independent branch. Under Merrick Garland, those DOJ judges were giving out "protection from deportation" like candy. Now the grownup are in charge again, and Halloween meets April Fools is over.
