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.

    i don’t understand how every single american isn’t gathering up torches and pitchforks. why aren’t we doing that? is it because we’re scared? do we think we’re powerless as a collective? we’re not. do we think we’re individually alone? we’re not! all we have to do is say it together and the rest will begin to fall into place.

    say it with me, “guns”.

        The country is 1 missed paycheck from homelessness.

        If we take the pitchforks out tomorrow we won’t have money to buy dinner.

        Eventually weqlth inequality will make it impossible to work for a living and people will take to the streets pretty fast.

        Notice how during Covid there were mass riots and civil unrest basicslly the moment people didn’t have to go to work.
