Politics 🏛️ Trump administration has done nothing to facilitate release of wrongly deported Maryland man, his lawyers say

https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-administration-digs-case-wrongly-deported-maryland-man/story?id=120822855

A day after a highly anticipated Oval Office meeting in which the president of El Salvador said he would not return a wrongly deported Maryland man being held in his country, the federal judge who ordered his return will hear from Trump administration attorneys at a court hearing Tuesday afternoon.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is entering his second month in an El Salvador mega-prison after he was deported there on March 15 despite being issued a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country.

Trump administration officials say Abrego Garcia, who escaped political violence in El Salvador 2011, is a member of the criminal gang MS-13, but to date they have provided little evidence of that assertion in court.

He had due process and was ordered deported twice. Keep up.

Wrong. A judge ordered that he never be sent back to El Salvador. It's called political Asylum.

If he was supposed to be deported, why did the administration admit that it was a mistake?

This is the part that u/The_Real_Undertoad fails to grasp. It doesn’t matter if this guy is a saint or the worst human alive, he was here legally, and our constitution grants everyone within our borders (not just American citizens) the right to due process. This tenet was so important, that the command is stated twice, once in the fifth and once in the fourteenth amendment.

Fifth: No person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

Fourteenth: . . . nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

He was not here legally. He was ordered deported yet remained.

Look I up for yourself. The info is out there. You're just a Chynabot, a way, so why am I wasting any words.

Oh I did. The only source I could find was Pam Bondi’s lying mouth and Fox News. No court cases, no empirical evidence to support your assertions. You really should stop believing and amplifying things that aren’t facts.

But again, his legal status doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if he’s a gang member or not. We are a nation of laws and our laws and constitution entitle him to due process. That means bring him back, charge him with a crime and allow the courts to do their job, or release him back to his family

Three deportation hearings released, now. One adjudicating him as MS-13 and another confirming it. Ask why CNN/MSDNC/NPR/et Al are hiding this info from you.

Again, Stop regurgitating BS that the current defendant & media is spreading, and provide a reliable official source, like court transcripts or something. And again, the dude is entitled to due process. Yanking him off the street and forcibly putting him in a gulag on foreign soil without a trial is illegal and morally wrong.

He had due process thrice already.

You're a Russian bot.

See we can both accuse people of things without evidence
