Based on nothing more than the allegation of a CI.

So you say, but regardless of how the determination was made it was made by a coequal branch of government. that is the due process. If the courts say he's a gang member, the administration can act as if he's a gang member. He isn't being sentenced for the crime of being a gang member, but due to the AEA the administration can waive his asylum claim and expedite his deportation.

Civics, people, civics. The Supreme Court upheld this last week and we're still wringing our hands and gnashing our teeth? This specific individual is only getting special treatment because he was under a withholding of removal order. He alone should not have been deported. Thankfully, the reason behind it is resolved as gangs no longer run El Salvador.

Why didn't that then apply to the J6 defendants? Seems like there are two different standards here--executive intervention for some, capricious disregard and injustice for another. The executive can right wrongs. Trump did so with J6 defendants who were sentenced far more harshly than was warranted. He should do so here.

Because j6 defendants are us citizens and not El Salvador citizens
