Comment on Man deported to El Salvador will never live back in US, says White House
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 day agoWhy would I be upset that he wasn’t charged for a criminal violation
He’s in prison.
Did you ever read that part of the constitution that requires due before being deprived of life, liberty or property?
He has not been convicted of any crime, yet he was taken from a country and imprisoned. “Due process” granted him asylum in the US, yet he is now imprisoned in a country where his life is in danger.
If you aren’t upset about this, you either aren’t paying attention, or you are complicit.

He did not have asylum. He was denied asylum. He had a deportation order.

He had no valid deportation order. He had a valid judgment from 2019 ordering that he not be deported.
This is not disputed by the administration. They admitted in court that they violated the asylum order. You have no legitimate basis to be making that claim.

That is false. He has a deportation order. He just couldn’t be deported to El Salvador. He could be sent anywhere else if they agreed to take him. That’s what is being fought in court.
The reason he can’t be sent to El Salvador is because of his connections to gangs.

There was no deportation order. There was a withholding order: and order prohibiting his deportation.
It is a human rights violation, as well as a violation of US and international law, to “deport” someone to a third party nation. What you are describing is completely unlawful for both the US and the hypothetical third-party nation.
There was no deportation order. Deportation is a criminal justice matter and can only be ordered by a judge. Trump invoked the alien enemies act specifically so he could repatriate (not deport) “enemy” aliens without involving the courts. He wants to treat immigrants as enemy combatants; invaders that can be dealt with by the military as combatants or POWs rather than as criminal defendants in court. Here, he fucked up because this person already had a withholding order permitting his presence.
