Judge orders return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison

[theHawk]

Wrong.
Gangs do not fight other gangs since that would just be a waste of energy.
Gangs only attack those who are helpless because they are NOT in a gang.
That way the gangs extort protection money.

How fucking dumb are you? Or are you being sarcastic?

2 different courts judged him to be part of a gang, and deportable.
He will never live here again.

WRONG!

The courts have always ruled he was not a gang member, had committed no crimes, and was on track to asylum citizenship.

{...

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "In 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court, ruled that (Abrego Garcia) was a member of MS-13."

This needs context. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Abrego Garcia in 2019 as he was looking for day labor outside a Home Depot in Maryland. A police informant told police Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 member. Immigration judges denied Abrego Garcia bond, both initially and on appeal, citing the informant’s accusation.

In the initial denial, the judge said the determination of Abrego Garcia’s gang membership "appears to be trustworthy and is supported" by evidence from the Gang Field Interview Sheet which, in part, referenced the informant. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys have repeatedly said in court that the informant’s accusation was fabricated.

The immigration judges’ decision to deny bond is not equivalent to ruling that Abrego Garcia was a gang member, David Bier, associate director of immigration studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, said.

In immigration bond hearings, detainees have the burden of proof to show they are neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community. Abrego Garcia "failed to meet his burden to show that he was not a danger," Bier said. That’s not the same as the government proving affirmatively that he was an MS-13 member.

"The immigration judge is only taking at face value any evidence that the government provides," Bier said. "It is not assessing its underlying validity at that stage."

Abrego Garcia later received an immigration protection called withholding of removal. Granting that protection required the Department of Homeland Security to decide Abrego Garcia was not "a danger to the security of the United States," Bier said, quoting U.S. immigration law.

"The Trump administration did not appeal these determinations or the granting of withholding of removal," Bier said. "So at that time, it did not consider him a threat and no new evidence has been presented since then."

Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, an attorney for Abrego Garcia, told PolitiFact his client has "never been convicted of any crime, gang-related or otherwise," and we also found no court evidence he had been convicted. Neither of the immigration court proceedings constitute a conviction, because they were not trials.

How fucking dumb are you? Or are you being sarcastic?

In his deposition he said that the gangs were threatening him in El Salvador because he was NOT in a gang and had no defense from the gangs.
You obviously know nothing of how gangs work.
They avoid fighting each other, and only do that when there is territory conflict.

 

[Rigby5]

Actually, any decent person, after seeing those El Salvador prisons, would join MS-13 in order to fight the kind of despots who would allow such prisons to even exists. Its one thing to lock people up, but something evil to torture anyone.

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele says he won’t return Abrego Garcia to U.S.​

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Monday that he would not return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States despite a U.S. Supreme Court order that says the Trump administration should facilitate his return.

“The question is preposterous,” Bukele said at the White House during a meeting with President Donald Trump, when he was asked about sending Abrego Garcia back from the notorious Salvadoran prison where he has been held since being forcibly deported in March.

“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele said. “I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”

Smuggle him in? The assertion is preposterous. All Bukele needs to do is put him on a plane.

I know, and you know, and you know I know, and I know you know, that Bukele was told to give that answer by the regime.

You can't facilitate a return to the U.S. without Bukele's agreement. Bukele said he did not want to return Garcia to the U.S.. You don't know what Bukele was told, do you?

 

[Rigby5]

Well there you have it, he’s a terrorist according to El Salvador, hence why he’s being detained there

Sorry dembots, you all have one less terrorist for your cult

He can't be a "terrorist" since El Salvador has not even seen him for 14 years.
And there is a little detail called a "hearing"?
Maybe you have heard of it?

 

[Rigby5]

You can't facilitate a return to the U.S. without Bukele's agreement. Bukele said he did not want to return Garcia to the U.S.. You don't know what Bukele was told, do you?

Wrong.
It was illegal for Trump to give Bukele the $6 million, so Congress can demand its return.
Congress can declare war on El Salvador is they do not comply.
Presidents get no say in federal funds or war declarations.

The Truth About Abrego Garcia: Two Courts Said He's MS-13

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was allegedly accidentally sent to an El Salvador prison, has fans in the media, including CNN and the New York Times. They can’t believe he was in MS-13 since he says he wasn’t. So, if you deny it and the narrative works, the media will rescue you. In 2019, an […]

The gangs are worse than the way they are treated in prison

Even if true, the gangs in El Salvador are all gone. Their awesome President has cleaned up the country and thrown the gangs in jail.

So there is no threat for him to return there.

Here is the scumbag you are defending:



He’s a wife beater.

He was trafficking illegals from Texas to Maryland.

He was an illegal alien.

All of those are crimes.

He can't be a "terrorist" since El Salvador has not even seen him for 14 years.

I have, no sure about El Salvador’s laws

As liberals shed tears for Garcia, a known criminal MS13 gang member, now declared terrorist, Rachel Morin’s family and friends wonder where Sen. Van Hollen has been for them…MIA

Dems are trash.

Trump continues to lose.

Judge orders return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison​

A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to arrange for the return of a Maryland man to the United States after he was mistakenly deported to a notorious El Salvador prison.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement expelled Kilmar Abrego Garcia last month despite an immigration judge’s 2019 ruling that shielded him from deportation to his native El Salvador, where he faced likely persecution by local gangs.

The judge's ruling came shortly after Abrego Garcia's wife joined dozens of supporters at a rally to urge her husband's immmediate return.

Jennifer Vasquez Sura, a U.S. citizen, hasn't spoken to Abrego Garcia since he was flown to his native El Salvador last month and imprisoned. She urged her supporters to keep fighting for her husband “and all the Kilmars out there whose stories are still waiting to be heard.”

“To all the wives, mothers, children who also face this cruel separation, I stand with you in this bond of pain,” she said during the rally at a community center in Hyattsville, Maryland. “It’s a journey that no one ever should ever have to suffer, a nightmare that feels endless."

The campaign to reunite the couple will shift to a courtroom in Greenbelt, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C.

The White House has cast Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, as an MS-13 gang member and assert that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction over the matter because the Salvadoran national is no longer in the U.S.

Abrego Garcia’s attorneys have countered that there is no evidence he was in MS-13. The allegation is based on a confidential informant’s claim in 2019 that Abrego Garcia was a member of a chapter in New York, where he has never lived.

/——/ Well, no wonder why democRATs admire and protect Kilmar. He’s a violent wife beater.
Now, it makes sense.
'Maryland man' Kilmar Abrego Garcia exposed in police records as 'violent' repeat wife beater
'Maryland man' Kilmar Abrego Garcia exposed in police records as 'violent' repeat wife beater

 

[Cellblock2429]

There was no Due Process. He is NOT a criminal. He is NOT a member of a gang. Justice Roberts now has written that there must be Due Process. The person arrested has to proven to be criminal or a member a gang. U.S. should act now to bring him home.

/——/ Stand up for wife beaters. The new democRAT motto.

 

[Leviticus]

He had due process in 2019 when he was ordered deported.

Except now the government is admitting that they had made a mistake and he was not supposed to be deported.

And do process means the the government proving a case in court.

By your logic the fact that a police officer arrested a person proves they are guilty of a crime

 

[Modern Messiah]

Wrong.
Gangs do not fight other gangs since that would just be a waste of energy.
Gangs only attack those who are helpless because they are NOT in a gang.
That way the gangs extort protection money.

So you are saying that rival gangs do not fight each other?
Your TDS has lead you down another dark path of ignorance
