U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the United States.

Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should “remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here,” not help extract him from El Salvador.

    Lets kidnap Trump, send him to this same prison and pretend the same thing. Oh, then it would suddenly be different somehow. These absolute fucking bozos deported him erroneously and they have the audacity to open their filthy mouths with an excuse “we don’t have to return him”. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?!

      the funny thing is, we could argue to the supreme court that there’s precedent and therefore legal. then we could codify in law that this is obviously illegal, but trump can stay there because he was sent before the law

      Send Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. They’re not white, so the Republicans won’t bat an eyelid at them being sent.

      You know, we don’t do due process anymore. That could be interesting.

      Edit: it’s not kidnapping anymore, just sending folks. I bet the orange guy can’t immediately present his proof that he can be in the states. If only cops weren’t such cowards, any of them could do things.

      If you kidnap Trump, JD Vanice becomes president and declares war on ElSelvador for abducting Trump.

      Or perhaps does nothing and enjoy presidency who knows
