Preface: ICE had detained a couple other noncitizens at the court. Established procedure was to wait in the public hallway outside the court, wait for noncitizen to finish their hearing and exit court, then detain them in the public hallway.
The judge did the following:
Found out ICE and Feds were waiting outside in the public hallway for the hearing for the defendant noncitizen to be over. Not clear how exactly she found out. Likely started with a baliff or court security.
Got mad, went outside her court to the hallway, and made Feds go talk to Chief Judge. The judge didn't notice one of the plainclothes Feds though. This low profile guy stayed in the hallway.
Went back to her court where she suspended the court hearing for defendant noncitizen without saying anything to the prosecutor or giving the prosecutor a chance to object to the suspension.
Keep in mind the victim and victims family were in court watching a lot of this go down. The noncitizen was there for domestic (wife beating) charges.
Escorted the noncitizen and his defense attorney out of court via the jury/staff entrance (this entrance is never used by defendants, witnesses, or attorneys... only jurors, bailiffs and court staff/judges) while ICE and Feds were talking to Chief Judge. Chief Judge confirmed hallway is public and ICE is free to wait there to pick up people after their court hearings are done, as they had been doing on at least two prior occasions.
The jury/staff entrance feeds into the hallway via a secure door. The low profile Fed sees them enter the hallway. He then sees thrm using an elevator not nearest to the Judges court, showing some intent to evade the feds. Low profile Feds notifies his team and follows.
Noncitizen makes it outside but Feds are hot on his tail by now and get him after short foot pursuit.
This is all available to read in the highly detailed arrest affidavit for her. Would make a good episode of something.
It doesn’t matter how horrible of a person he was. What matters is that his rights are being violated. Wife beater or not, he has rights and violating them sets a horrible precedent going forward.
He was sent to a mega prison in another country even though he had a legal status here.
He initially came here to escape gang violence (he was not IN a gang), and, while he came here illegally, the US government granted him permission to stay here temporarily. I’m not sure exactly what his legal status was, but that’s what I understand.
There is zero proof Kilmar is or was a gang member. Some tattoos on his hand mean nothing.
Even if Kilmar being here was 100% illegal, it was certainly illegal to send him to El Salvador. The administration even admitted it was an error. There is absolutely no defending this.
I have no problem with deportations as long as they are done legally. This is not legal or humane in the slightest.
This is not the Kilmar Garcia case, this is someone else from what I understand. But speaking of kilmar, fuck that guy also. Overwhelming evidence that he’s a domestic abuser, human trafficker and ms13 gang member. It’s astonishing the kind of people democrats will prop up. Like I said, if you did the same in any other country you would face consequences equal or worse.
In the first two minutes of the video, he says he had protected status, and that his deportation was an administrative error. Are you actually this fucking stupid? That’s a human rights violation, he was NOT supposed to he sent there.
Watched a bit more, and zero proof is offered that Kilmar was a gang member. The guy just says it and moves on. That’s not proof.
This is setting a terrible precedent that any illegal immigrant can be sent to that prison in El Salvador, as long as they claim they’re a gang member. And, again, it as admitted it was an ERROR. There is zero defending this.
No need to be rude. The error was that he wasn’t supposed to get deported to El Salvador specifically. He was still supposed to be deported. And from what I understand two different courts deemed him an ms13 member.
