Time will tell whether they ever come right out and say it, or continue to play this game of chicken, but make no mistake; they’ve damn-near abandoned the rule of law.
But that's the disturbing part... it's bad enough that it was mistaken, and the Supreme Court clearly said this was illegal... Now, they're not even trying to get him back. The ramifications to the rule of law are big, but basic right and wrong makes this story shocking to the conscience. All Trump has to do is ask, and he won't do it. That's the behavior of a monster... The USA doesn't send people to foreign gulags without proving them guilty first.
I understand your opinion about protests, and your reasons are sound. I disagree, myself, though I do concede the benefits of protests are less tangible than we tend to acknowledge. Protests let you know you're not alone, for one. They spread the message as well. Most of all, it's a subtle reminder to the government of who's truly in charge; and if enough of us are truly pissed, they'll have an issue of some sort. And lastly, I like protests cause they're American, though and through. It's all wish washy I know, but I believe in it.
There isn't a constitutional crisis, there is a constitutional conflict that will ultimately be resolved by the Supreme Court.
Grassley is right. Now that Garcia is in El Salvador, his return to the US is a foreign policy issue not within Congressional purview. The Administration is asserting that he was not mistakenly deported and that they are attempting to “facilitate” his return in compliance with the applicable SCOTUS ruling.
Ozturk wrote an op-ed supporting Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in contravention of US foreign policy thus nullifying her visa under the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952.
AP has more than adequate access to the White House.
The “hands off” protests on April 5 had no impact. Neither will future protests. Elections have consequences, as Barack Obama once said to disgruntled Republicans.
The next election is next year. It will in all likelihood be decided by the economy, making tariff impact the central issue. The average voter doesn't care much about whether AP gets in the Oval Office (or even know what AP is), or the civil rights of alien alleged gang bangers and Hamas terrorist supporters.
Call it whatever you want: it's disgusting behavior and wholly un-American.
The Administration is lying to your face: whatever they might say on camera, their official position *while under oath* in court, is that he was mistakenly deported.
If you don't support free speech, just say so.

Your position on protests is an opinion, not a fact. I have a different position.
According to the Administration, the Justice lawyer who characterized the deportation as a mistake was himself mistaken and has been placed on administrative leave.
From what I've read, it appears that it was indeed mistaken, and now it may be difficult to extract him even with good-faith efforts.
Regarding the protests, I have no objection to them as long as they remain peaceful but I think they're a waste of time and energy. They seem to be a form of venting for the participants, much like the “pussy hat” protests during Trump’s first term which were similarly ineffectual.

Trump could care less about the protests. Zero impact on their policy.
I'm not sure Garcia is clean but I haven't read anything persuasive about gang affiliation. A judge ruled in 2019 he couldn't be deported to El Salvador due to concerns about his safety. To me that’s the operactive fact and makes his case anomalous.
Unfortunately, his case is not anomalous, and that's the issue; please consider the cases of Leonel Echavez, Frengel Reyes, Andry Hernandez, Jerce Reyes Barrios... Those are just the names I know off the top of my head. None convicted or charged of crimes, all rotting in a gulag. It's one thing to deport people out of the country, but this... This is next level evil behavior.
It is in the sense that he had a court order barring deportation to El Salvador, which, as far as I know, none of the other cases you mention involve.
There were 260 deportees to El Salvador, whose status falls into three categories:
1. Asylum Seekers
2. Humanitarian Parolees
3. Undocumented Immigrants(aka illegal aliens)
The Administration is clearly within its legal rights to deport Category 3; it rescinded parole for Category 2 effective April 25, so the deportation might be vulnerable to legal challenge based on being premature; Category 1 can be deported since the administration invoked emergency authority. Unfortunately, no categorical breakdown is available.
It does appear that little if any due process was afforded these deportees and that the process used to identify them as MS-13!gang members was flawed. This is bad policy and politics in my view.
You look totally enthralled. lol.
Hey guys... it's me... Brie... and today we're going to talk about how yet again the Republic is totally fucking screwed. :D
This is why I wear a bag over my head.
Enthralled is a kind word for how I look 😂

Thanks Brie, appreciate the post…
Forgot about roaming MAGA trolls, arguing with cult members is a waste of time and energy.
Anyone supporting this administration is at best ignorant / selfish and at worst a Nazi / Nazi Sympathizer…period 🇺🇸
