        Did 2 judges deem him to be MS13? Because if they did I’m getting Rittenhouse vibes over this. Dems jumping up and down/flooding the internet by calling him (Rittenhouse) a murderer. The law is clear, as dumb and idiotic as Rittenhouse was, someone pointed a gun at someone who was also armed. He defended himself. But Dems were in so deep they were acting like brainwashed Republicans. This may end up similar. Dems are in too deep, soaking up post after post telling them he was never part of MS13 and are too arrogant to admit they were wrong.

          Do you want to see the court transcripts showing that he was never in the state that the person accusing him of being a gang member said he was in? Or the court ruling that said he wasn’t a gang member?

            I’m not disagreeing or agreeing I’m just pointing out the issues with each narrative and don’t want to be sucked into another embarrassing false narrative by the Dems. One side is saying he was MS13 and a duel citizen and the other is suggesting he was not MS13. If he was not in the state, that doesn’t disprove he was MS13, which as far as I can tell is what this is all hinging on. Legally speaking though it is on the judge to show sufficient evidence for their ruling. If they couldn’t get the state he was in right that does call into question the rest of his judgement about him being MS13.

            INAL but no person would apply only to US citizens? Kilmar being a duel citizen is where it gets grey?

              Can you show one source claiming he was a dual citizen? You are literally the first person I’ve seen make that claim.

              You fundamentally misunderstand the state-gang claim. One person said he was in the gang when he was in the other state. Except he has never been to that state. That’s one of the reasons a judge found the claim he was in the gang by be completely baseless. A judge. The judge that reviewed all the evidence.

              Nine Supreme Court justices, the president, and the lawyers representing the president all agreed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was here legally and was illegally deported without due process. Yet people who can barely pass a Turing test know more than these experts and came to a different conclusion.

              No person means no person. Citizen or otherwise. The Constitution doesn’t grant rights. It assumes they are inalienable to all people and established rules telling the government they couldn’t take them away. This is constitutional law 101. Everyone gets due process. Citizen or otherwise. Because the alternative was the road to tyranny.

                Thanks for that. The only sources are from White House officials and Pam Bondi. I know they’re very low credibility sources but that is the only place this argument is coming from and unfortunately the only group of people who have control over the situation.

                As for the constitution, i don’t think it can legally cover non us citizens defining “persons”. Persons inside the country though yes. Trump and his crackpot team I believe are arguing that because he’s no longer in the country that he doesn’t get covered by the constitution. Ridiculous I know. I suppose it’s like murdering someone and saying they don’t have rights because they are dead and only living people have rights.

              another embarrassing false narrative by the Dems.

              Rittenhouse got due process, as much as I and many others regret the jury’s verdict.

              Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia got no due process, so no judge nor jury got to cast a verdict on the Trump Administration’s claims. Instead, Trump acted as judge, jury, and executioner by sending Garcia to El Salvador when we knew he obtained a withholding of removal specifically for that country in 2019.

              Even if the narratives were false, in Garcia’s case, Trump is removing your rights. That alone should be enough to pay attention and disapprove of Trump’s actions.

              he was MS13

              He was not. He immigrated to the US without proper documentation in 2011 at the age of 16 to escape gangs in El Salvador. Why would you try to escape gangs if you were part of one?

              a duel citizen

              He was not a dual citizen. Garcia has citizenship in El Salvador, but received a withholding of removal status in the US, an alternative to asylum. He was a legal resident of the US, and a legal citizen of El Salvador.

              he was not MS13

              This is true.

              that doesn’t disprove he was MS13

              No evidence was presented in immigration court that Garcia was part of MS-13. Instead, hearsay from a police officer (who later was found to supply confidential information to an escort, breaking his oath as a cop) and a anonymous informant (who said Garcia was in a NYC MS-13 gang, when Garcia lived in Maryland, not NYC) were deemed good enough for the immigration court. Neither the police officer nor informant were allowed to be cross-examined at the time, so we have no idea if these are lies or not. The judge didn’t allow it.

              it is on the judge to show sufficient evidence for their ruling.

              Do you mean it is on the lawyers accusing Garcia to show sufficient evidence? The judge doesn’t show evidence in a trial… They rule on the evidence…

              does call into question the rest of his judgement about him being MS13

              As it should. The entire thing was a sham.

              no person would apply only to US citizens?

              This sentence does not make any sense.

              Kilmar being a duel citizen

              Again, Garcia was not a dual citizen. He was a legal resident of the US as afforded by a withholding of removal verdict, and a legal citizen of El Salvador.

          Wanna know the difference between Abrego Garcia and Rittenhouse?

          I’ll give you a hint: One of them was afforded due process.

          Here’s another thing that you might not know. Being a member of a gang is not illegal in and of itself (freedom of association). If it was, the KKK and the Proud Boys and Patriot Front and all those other chud gangs wouldn’t be allowed to exist. So it doesn’t matter one iota if Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 or not. The only thing that matters in terms of deporting him are his legal residence status, and his criminal record. And guess what? He was here legally, having been given “withholding of removal” status by an immigration judge, and he has no criminal record.

              So I had to look it up, and apparently Trump signed an EO on February 25th designating MS-13 as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization”, which makes no sense because it’s an American gang.

              But that doesn’t matter, because on March 15th Abrego Garcia was deported without ever having been proven to be a member of MS-13. No presumption of innocence, no charges filed, no access to a lawyer, no chance to ever argue his innocence in a court of law. You know, that whole “due process” thing that we used to care about.

              Regardless of what you think of this man, his rights were violated. That means your rights were also violated, because if the rights of the US Constitution don’t apply to everyone, then they don’t apply to anyone.

          No due process. And no matter what the right wing hate machine is telling you, no, he’s never been in MS13. He had asylum and non deportation orders precisely because a judge wanted to protect him from MS13.

      It’s not. The math doesn’t work out. There are far more undocumented people alone in the US to fill up foreign prisons. What is more likely to happen is is that at a certain point, the US will start building their own concentration camps, then when all the businesses that relied on those people are struggling to fill positions, the camps will start leasing their prisoners to those businesses. It will be billed as some “Work sets you free” or “Service Guarantees Citizenship” Program.

          Because a major point of ‘reason’ that the right-wing has with this person’s abduction is that he was ‘here illegally so it doesn’t matter what happens to him’.

          This messaging isn’t for you. Its mostly meant to shortcircuit the above.

          These little shitty ‘gotcha’ purity tests the left constantly foists upon itself is tiring and the stuff of children.

      I sure as shit don’t remember them caring about Gitmo, Manzanar, the cages in the border, the CIA blacksites domestic and foreign, the continuous treatment of Natives for 300 years… Only a problem now that’s its mainstream. Maybe now they’ll hold up signs acting like they’ve always cared about the treatment of non-whites.

    It’s not a slave labor camp. It’s a concentration camp. That dude is probably dead now. Call your representatives ASAP if you live in the US. Trump must be deposed and arrested. Same with his fucking Goebbels wannabe, Pam Bondi, and Propaganda Barbie the second.

    He’s most likely dead. That’s the reason why they can’t get him back.

    Edit: furthermore even if Chunky Cheeto said on TV that he knows the guy is dead because he killed him himself then absolutely nothing would be done about it.

      Remember how America has the largest military on the planet, and how even our local police forces are armed with machines of war and mass destruction. Yeah, every single one of those guys works for the dictator so forgive me if I don’t go John Fucking Rambo on the White House with a repeater I bought at Walmart.

      We’re showing up to protests by the millions, we’re using our voices, we’re pressuring elected leaders to stand up and fight back, we’re fucking trying to stop this shit, so honestly fuck off with this sort of reductive armchair general critiquing.

        This guy went against a column of tanks with two bags of groceries.

        Americans can’t get organised to march with their guns to see how far the military will defend the dictatorship, when you make it hard for them.

        So for years we’ve been right about the 2A, completely useless and only there to feed the military-industrial machine, weak egos and gang violence.

              By pointing out American hypocrisy through a reductionist view of gun politics in the U.S.?

              If you can’t figure out by now that the majority of blue voters are not the ones who were arming themselves… or that they were the ones voting for gun control… what are you trying to say, again?

            Oh no, is standing up to dictators and fascism dangerous?

            Well better just lick boots then, huh?

            It’s not like fascism ever endangered any lives, right? It’s not like we had this exact conversation about “resistance not being the answer, we can’t be expected to put ourself in danger” 100 years ago.

            And back then we let the fascist fucksticks get all the way to engineered killing camps. Are we gonna let them get that far — again?

            And if you’re gonna say something about me being a keyboard warrior, I’m ready and trained and in the Finnish reserves. I don’t like the idea of having to engage in combat, but I’ll do what is necessary if it comes to that.

        Sit there and wait for them to kill you instead. Guns are your only hope. Until you wake up and realize it you’ll watch your countrymen be killed en masse. Possibly your own family and friends. Just because it’s not you right now doesn’t mean it’s not going to be.

      Millions of us are protesting and direct action groups are gaining more support and being more active. We’re slow to the draw yes, and this type of movement should have happened much earlier, but it’s inaccurate to say none of us are doing anything

        What are direct action groups are doing? I’ve only heard of protests, which have frankly zero effect on the Trump regime. The idea that something will come out of these protests, that someone will escalate is fundamentally flawed; until you and people like you decide to escalate nothing will happen, and if you want to know what your average American thinks of escalation go out on April 19th and ask people around you what they think about participating in a general strike within the year. Like ask 30 people or something, record the answers and see what you’ll get. The situation won’t change until the people of America change it with their own hands; no inevitable march of history is coming to save you.

        i think the point hes getting at mainly is that none of the protesting groups are taking up firearms and removing the potus by force along with his cronies. you are not militant enough compared to what is written in your constitution for this exact scenerio.

        protesting where the police allow you to is “controlled opposition” and its part of the allowed illusion of potential change. its what allows viewers at home who may agree with the movement, to feel hopeful, and like they dont have to do anything because someone else is already doing something. resolving things democratically will only take you so far with a head of state and entrenched system of control that not only doesnt follow the rules of democracy, but is actively trying to dismantle it.

        protest as much as you wish, but if theres no bite after your bark, it rings hollow.

        source? occupy wallstreet. where they poured champaign on protestors from high rises and skyscrapers, laughing, and taking pictures as they continued to rob everyone below. nothing changed. not really. if anything it got worse.

          Every protest is a sea of organization. Thousands and thousands of people convening in a public space for a cause compels people to think about those next steps. It’s a process of breaking inertia. But yes, these always require a politival mechanism: support for a bill, a race, a party, etc or they will get co-opted by the ruling class.

          That’s what happened with Occupy Wall Street, yes, though it still resulted in a major wave of political organization. The movement being ignored resulted in a major wave of disenfranchised people who turned to fascism thinking it would be a viable alternative. But at the same time it helped prime people to actually give Bernie a chance in 2016.

          Taking up arms at this point would be absurdly foolish. They’d just deploy actual militant forces to stop you and you’d essentially kill any progressive movement for a couple decades, because they’d be associated with violence and extremism

            I don’t think that’s how that works. Historically, peace rarely gets results. Do you think the end of the holocaust came about through peaceful protest? French or American revolution? The hands off protest was marked 3rd largest in US history by Wikipedia and nothing has changed. Black lives matter protests were arguably ineffective considering we elected Trump again. We see time and time again that armed conservatives and police forces freely obtain what they want so much to the point that their most desperate members felt comfortable enough to storm the Capitol and they got pardoned. I think the mindset to advocate for peace isn’t one that aligns with results. We see the results. I don’t like violence, but I know they’d love to inflict violence against me.

              I view both peaceful and violent protest to be tools meant to work together. The hammer of violence and the anvil of peace, shaping the politics of yore into something more useful.

              Problem is, the media and education in America has solely emphasized peaceful movements, while ignoring or downplaying the value of violence. This is a deliberate effort made by evil oligarchs and naive peaceniks, whose reasons happen to align with the result.

        It depends where you live honestly. I grew up in NJ in a very blue suburb and every male child on the block was out of school during the first week of deer season. Now that I’m older every leftist I know is strapped.

          I have like 50 guns. I tell people that I’m so far left that I’ve circled back around on guns.

          But the reality is I’m mostly just a gun nerd who also used to be a gun salesman and got a ton of freebies from the manufacturer.
