How do you know this person is an illegal gang banger? What assurances do you have that that statement is actually true?

Also, I don’t think you understand the point of my comparison. They didn’t start putting Jews in concentration camps - it started with rhetoric like what you are parroting, desperately justifying, without evidence or due process, that some people didn’t deserve their rights. That is the foothold authoritarianism needs to erode and eventually destroy the rights of everyone.

The Jews in Nazi Germany were stripped of their rights of citizenship and forced to emigrate. And it started with flimsy justifications like we are seeing with this Garcia person. Did he commit some crime that merits deportation? Maybe. Personally, I’m incredibly skeptical of anything this administration claims. Either way, how can we say for sure without a trial? Without evidence that can be verified without the game of telephone that is the incredibly biased media? You keep repeating these claims as though they are facts, but do you actually have any direct evidence?

The government has stated he is a gang member. That’s enough evidence for me.

The Crux of the issue is he wasn’t here legally. The reason he couldn’t be deported to El Salvador is because of his gang affiliations.

So if he isn’t a gang member then there is no reason to not to deport him to El Salvador.

If he is a gang member, we should detain him in ordain here in America.

  If the government stated you were a gang member, would that be enough evidence for you? If so, I don’t know what to tell you. If not, do you need assistance pointing out the flaw in your logic?
  
  I can’t tell if you’re seriously arguing or if this entire thread is in bad faith, but my general policy is to approach online arguments as though the other party is being sincere. If not for you, then for anyone else who might be spectating.
  
  I’d recommend this book to help you expand your ability to think more critically. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationality_(book)

    The government isn’t going to say I’m a gang member. lol. That’s a silly premise as you can’t show it happening to a legal citizens.
    
    That’s where your argument falls flat. It’s a made up hypothetical that hasn’t and won’t happen.
    
    Critical thinking isn’t making up a fake scenario and then pretending it’s real. That’s delusional thought.
