Comment on Man deported to El Salvador will never live back in US, says White House
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 day agoThere was no deportation order. There was a withholding order: and order prohibiting his deportation.
He could be sent anywhere else if they agreed to take him.
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.

You don’t understand what a withholding order is. It prevents his return to El Salvador. It does not stop a deportation. If a third party agrees to take him; they can send him there.
Illegal immigrants should be deported. Since this man is tied to gangs, he should have been deported years ago

You got me. It’s taken me this long to realize you’re trolling. Good job.

I’m not trolling. You just don’t understand the law. It’s clearly in the court order. The courts have already determined he’s affiliated with ms-13. That is why he was given an order to prevent his return to El Salvador. If he’s not part of a gang we he’s claiming now then there is no reason not to send him to El Salvador. So either he’s a gang member and needs to be deported elsewhere or he’s not a gang member and he can stay in El Salvador.
We have laws for a reason and those who don’t fallow them should be deported.
