** The Trump administration accidentally sent a Salvadorian immigrant to a notorious Salvadorian prison and says it can’t do anything to get him back.**

Aren’t they paying the government (or President Bukele) to imprison these folks? Just withhold payment(s) until he is released.
Problem solved.

Something about Trump hasn’t paid anyone so they are holding him until they get payment? I think they call this a Mexican standoff.

Nah why should he care if all he does is break the law endlessly?

Just to be clear the courts ruled in 2019 that this man was NOT to be deported and the Trump Administration new that and did it any way.

Oopsie.
This man is married to a US citizen and has a 5 year-old disabled kid who is also a citizen. The cruelty and unwillingness to make this right is deplorable.
Heck, if the yahoos won’t listen to compassionate reason, maybe they’ll listen to Joe Rogan.

The ruling was that he was not to be deported back to El Salvador because as a MS-13 gang member he feared he might be tortured there by other gang members (a rational fear). The mistake here was in the destination.

I like how convoluted your thinking is. Oops wrong destination but right deportation. They were just off a few degrees. No biggee next time we will get it right.
But you are still incorrect. He had protected legal status, and to make matters worse the Trump Administration said that they new all of this. Here is something from the Atlantic that seems to be up on all this stuff. Almost like someone is putting them on their Signal texts.
** The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up.**

The ruling was that he was not to be deported back to El Salvador because he faced credible threats of violence if he was returned. There was no independent evidence of him being part of MS-13. That information was provided by an informant that linked him to a clique that didn’t even operate in MD. He was never charged with a crime in the US. His supposed gang affiliation has never been confirmed.
Here’s support from his union. No, not the MS-13 Union…SMART -
Are you really OK with amoral incompetents ruining lives? Being told that someone is a gang member is only worth 3 points bro…if it’s credible.
What’s behind your “I’m cool with obvious injustice” vibe?

He committed the crime of being brown?

And…he continued his mandatory check-ins with ICE. You know, typical MS-13 human trafficker behavior.

That made him easy to collar. I have seen reports of other people, living here legally, waiting for their asylum hearing, being collard when they make their routine check-in with ICE.

To obtain his “withholding of removal” protection order in 2019, Abrego Garcia had to prove that he was likely to suffer persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group or political opinion.
With that protection granted, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is supposed to be prevented from sending the person to the country designated in the order, unless the protection is terminated. However, that person can still be deported to any other country.

He is trying to correct that by marrying a white woman. Give him some time.
**Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, Abrego Garcia’s attorney, said he’s never seen a case in which the government knowingly deported someone who had already received protected legal status from an immigration judge. **
I would give you that DB2 IF a judge had ordered him deported. But you see that isn’t what is going on is it? Under this Regime anyone, including you, could be deported. Why? Because it hasn’t gone before a judge, think about that.

“Being collard…” I bet that made them green.

Easy to get him back within 24-48 hours–or sooner.
Deport CSM to that prison–to be held next to that person, and given the identical food, clothing, and treatment in all matters until returned to the US.
Motivation is the #1 driver of CSM. He will do whatever it takes to get that person returned ASAP–alive and well. We may see an unexpected invasion in the near future…

This article is taking it one step farther, as a test, by the administration, for a green light to set up black sites outside of the US. So they can scoop up people in the US, whisk them out of the country, without legal due process, and dump them into a legal Catch-22.
On Monday, the DOJ responded with a bombshell admission: Abrego Garcia did have a right to remain in the U.S. and was shipped off to CECOT only because of an “administrative error.” The DOJ then declared that there was nothing the plaintiff or the government could do to fix this confessed mistake. Abrego Garcia, it wrote, would need to file a writ of habeas corpus, the traditional procedure for challenging unlawful detention. Indeed, it argued, Abrego Garcia’s claims “can proceed only in habeas”—he has no other way to fight his imprisonment. And yet, the department concluded, no federal court can hear his habeas claim, because he is “not in United States custody.” He thus has no remedy whatsoever and must remain in CECOT indefinitely.
The author extrapolates:
The government intends to treat the prison as a black site where migrants have no constitutional rights whatsoever and may be subject to any treatment whatsoever—including indefinite detention, forced labor, torture, or death.
This is like the “good old days”, of Bush #43, where people anywhere in the world were snatched off the street, thrown in prison indefinitely, and tortured, on the justification that “we were victims on 9/11”

Easy solution. Drop CSM into that prison–to be seated next to the innocent man–treated exactly the same. Same food, clothing, chains, etc. Watch how fast stuff happens when there is motivation to “do or die”.
