Comment on Man deported to El Salvador will never live back in US, says White House
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 day agoThe courts haven’t even issued a deportation order. The only court order relevant to Garcia is the withholding order in 2019, which should habe kept him in the US. There is no deportation order. He was not deported. He was sent to El Salvador under an illegal use of the Alien Enemies act, not a deportation order.
The courts have not said that he could be sent anywhere else. Attempting to send him anywhere else violates US and International law, as well as human rights. The only place the US can send him is Maryland.
Every day he is not in Maryland, the US government is going to be paying him damages. A lot of damages. He and his family are going to get rich off of this. How much are you going to pay him?

Deportation order was already issued. You keep thinking the order prevented deportation. It doesn’t. It prevents deportation to El Salvador.

There was no deportation order.
Not in 2019. Not in 2025. This is factually untrue.
ICE initiated proceedings in 2019, but no deportation order ever arose from those proceedings. The conclusion of those proceedings was the withholding order, not a deportation order.

lol. Yes it did. Many you don’t know the laws at all. You can’t have a withholding order without a deportation order. The two are intertwined.

If they want to deport him to somewhere other than El Salvador, they will have to restart the 2019 proceedings again. They will have to get a fresh order specifying the new country (which they can’t get because it’s a human rights violation).
There is no order that allows what you are talking about. There is no valid order allowing for him to be taken anywhere but Maryland.
