Yeah, because if he comes back, he's going to be put on a media circuit where he's going to say what he saw there, which is a fucking concentration camp.

or he's just dead and the prison in el Salvador is a wood chipper on the way to el Salvador
I have a depressing feeling he's dead. the narrative I've seen is that the gangs tried to extort his mother and he stood up to them as a teen, and they had to leave to avoid retribution... which was the primary reason (in addition to being a good worker, references, etc) that a judge in the US issued an order not to deport him years ago.
so to disappear him in the carceral warehouse with absolutely no shot of recovery works for trump, the fuck stick running El Salvador, th guards, and the gangs.
last I checked he had not been heard from since they grabbed him.
I have been trying to keep up with this story as much as my sanity allows. it is fucking horrible.
he may not have been heard from because prisoners in CECOT are not allowed any direct contact with the outside. No lawyer or family visits or calls. I've talked with some Salvadoran activists about the CECOT and they mostly talk about the overcrowding, poor food and hygiene, and a complete lack of dignity and privacy. They didn't talk about violence in there though, except from the guards. Even if the gangs hate this guy they may not be able to get him, prisoners aren't even given clothes or rooms there. If he is dead it is because the guards allowed it.

idk what to even say to this, and here I thought the bush jr. years were bad with slapping the "terrorist" label on anything that moves. Please, please, please be careful with whatever you say online anymore because this shit could very easily escalate to black-bagging anyone for saying anything.
and here I thought the bush jr. years were bad with slapping the "terrorist" label on anything that moves
they were bad, this would not be happening now if not for the war on terror and its liberal complicity
Seeing everything come to pass from my cursed visions of the future I had as a teenager during the bush years is driving me mad
haha yeah

Well said
and anyone with a shred of common sense and a concept of morality could tell you that this would be the inevitable result. it was plain as fuckin day and bringing it up just got you called an alarmist and an ideological purity tester
I hope chuck schumer dies in CECOT
Thinking back 20 years to all the good liberals who called it when the patriot act was signed into law
You really want to feel the paranoia juice? Look up how much of USAPATRIOT was written down and ready to go before 9/11 even happened. I'm not a "9/11 was an inside job" person, for what it's worth.
But I am very much a "they were planning this kind of police state bullshit for a long time" guy. Which feels a bit silly having "won" the Cold War a decade before, ending history etc etc. So... what event were they really planning all the crackdown for? (My money's on the climate)
I'm not sure about that last part. While it may prove useful in the event of a climate collapse scenario I have doubts as to its purpose being so forward-thinking. The USA is white supremacist, built on slavery, the perpetrator of genocides and born from imperialism. Such a state turning its tools inwards is probably just the natural progression of things.

9/11 doesn't have to be an inside job. It was an inevitability which they were all aware. The whole "we won" and "end of history" narrative was obviously not true and just meant to attempt to pacify people, they knew they were still conducting global imperialism and that eventually some group(s) would try and strike back

Waiting on the Parlimentarian to save us...any second now.
Sorry the parliamentarian can only tell the Democrats what they're not allowed to do
You'll see. 
So the poor man is either dead because it's a fucking death camp or maybe still alive but will not be returned because of the stories he'd be able to tell, Jesus Christ...
They definitely want to make those prisons into essentially a pit they can throw people into to never return. That way they can do whatever they want to the people there and no one will really be able to say for sure what is happening.
And just like Guantanamo Bay it'll never be closed nor people returned even with a dem in office (if that even happens at this point)
CECOT is Trump's oubliette
The supreme court never demanded that the US government returns Abergo Garcia. The supreme court says that the US government just needs to "facilitate" his return. The demand from the district court that the US government "effectuate" his return from a previous district court ruling was considered unclear and exceeding the district court's authority. So in essence all the supreme court asked was for the US to make his possible return to the United States easier (facilitate), and not forcing the US government to return Garcia to the United States (effectuate). Liberals, who are wishing for some idealistic showdown between the supreme court and the US government out of a Harry Potter novel and wish casting a constitutional crisis, misread and misunderstood the demands of the supreme court order.
The rest of the District Court’s order remains in effect but requires clarification on remand. The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court’s order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court’s authority. The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.
The supreme court says that the US government just needs to "facilitate" his return.
Any good-faith reading would interpret "facilitate" as the US needs to do everything in its power to bring him back. Roberts tried to do Trump a solid by using very polite language in the Court's order. You are repeating the administration's bad faith interpretation of the ruling, rather than what any lawyer practicing in good faith would actually interpret the order as.
Roberts tried to hand Trump a way to come down from this gently. This is going to go back to SCOTUS, at which point they will issue a ruling that is completely unambiguous and has no wiggle room for bad faith interpretations.
It was worded that way to give plausible deniability when it was inevitably interpreted in bad faith
I don't believe it will go back to SCOTUS for them to issue a less ambiguous ruling. The ruling was intentionally ambiguous as to allow Trump the wiggle room to not have to address it. It's better to give him a way to weasel out than to actually put the "checks and balances" to the test and reveal the entire system as flawed/fraudulent.

I love how the entirety of the the judicial system is predicated on word games dressed up in deeply dubious notions of “reasonability” and “good-faith”

If you were serious about checks and balances the judiciary would have a standing army. Failing that now's the time to remember you can deputize basically anybody into USMS service. Get cracking

Yeah, absolutely cooked. I’m looking at it in the context it’s being represented in the mainstream.
Garcia did come here illegally years ago BUT he’s been here for so long blah blah blah blah
OK great. The minute you included that first part, you lost. Godamn, these resisters really fucking suck at resisting.
Almost like bourgeois law doesn’t apply to the bourgeois and it’s almost like we’re all living under a collective delusion that it does
Wonderful thing about "rules based order" people... whoever is in charge gets to make the rules and the "rules based order" people can then go, "Well... see... the courts say its so, the police/miltary say its so, the executive branch says its so", and then poof there is now no conflict that needs to be resolved with the "rules based order" people. They can go along with something that just last week they were upset about because "well, these are the rules that we live with".
Concentration camps, internment camps, genocides, massive economy tanking tariffs, disastrous environmental policies "thems tthe rules

:O they can't do that!!
Is it officially considered a "Constitutional crisis" yet? This kind of logic only works on toddlers, when you want to make an excuse about something and you know they lack the mental maturity to dispute it. Normal, rational adults all understand what this means.
So, when are the adults in the room going to step up and say something about it? Or are we all just going to pretend we're toddlers, and don't understand what this means?
Who are these supposed adults in the room? The ones who uphold the "rules based order" we have come to accept because they attempt to conceal their atrocities from the public? Every US president in my lifetime (going back to Carter) is a war criminal. Donnie is just more brazen about it which makes his conflicts with the judicial system more publicized.
That’s actually a really great point. I think what I was missing was the fact that Trump doesn’t hide the mafia-esque backroom dealings that have happened under every administration and the masses are too propagandized/tired to realize
Folks haven't accepted it yet. Its hard to swallow but these are the facts

Unless the National Parks Service Rangers or Postal Inspectors are willing to be the enforcement arm of the court's contempt charges, I'm not sure court rulings even matter any more.
Would you like some time on the lathe? This seems like a very funny time.
