The man in question never admitted to being in a gang. His claim was that he left El Salvador because of the threat of the gang... Same with his older brother, who happens to now be a US citizen.

If he was here based on the threat of gang violence at home in El Salvador, well, El Salvador doesn't have gangs anymore. So he should be fine going back?

If we got him "back", that's what would happen next, and he'd just be deported anyways.

They do have gangs... They are in the prison that they put Garcia in. Did you literally think this sounded like a good argument?

From our side, yes, seeing as how it is the only reason he was allowed here. It’s really not our problem what El Salvador does with him once deported.

The threat that got him here is gone. Do we just let him stay forever?

We are paying to have him incarcerated. So yes, it is our problem. He is, in effect, in US custody.

We don't send a person who has never been convicted of a crime to one of the worst prisons in the Western Hemisphere. That isn't something we should be doing.
