While Trump pretends he can’t ask for anyone he’s sent to come back. They’re disappearing people into a black site.
He can ask for them back, but El Salvador doesn’t have to listen. It’s like when you sell a car, once the title is signed over and you get the money the deal is done. You can always say “that was a mistake, can I have the car back” but the other party can just ignore you.
And yes, it sickens me to be writing about humans like property you can just “transfer the title” for. But it must not have the same effect on Trump, Musk, or Rubio.
He made the deal with Bukele, if he can’t get them back that’s because it’s how he wanted it.
The idea that Art of the Deal can’t get this guy back is absurd, they have the power and ability to do so. They refuse to.
It’s like when you sell a car, once the title is signed over and you get the money the deal is done.
No, if you want a car to be your analogy, it’s more like a rental. The US is actively paying El Salvador to detain them. They can end that deal whenever they want.
Except there are actually laws in place that let you do exactly that for a car purchase (in non-shithole places)
For cause, maybe. Just because you changed your mind? Absolutely not.
Maybe the judge can’t stop Trump, but they can arrest every person on those flights. People will stop lining up when it means their freedom.
Well, the judge can order the arrest of those people. We shall soon find out whether law enforcement will actual follow those orders…
IIRC the judge can order the arrests and also deputize people to carry them out.
Hopefully the judge does order their arrests. Aren’t those people technically following illegal orders anyway?
Which isn’t defensible, so go after them. It worked in Nuremberg. The big thing is the charges need to come at a state level so they can’t be pardoned. Although, it’s still an inconvenience to make them get pardoned every time, so if the charges have to be federal, so be it.
And arrest every person above them letting this happen. All the way up through all levels of supervisors, managers, etc. They have control over their employees. Hell, even arrest the ATCs giving them flight access and the customs agents letting the crew back in. Everyone that is remotely tangential deserves to be tried and arrested.
The Nazi regime chose to build most of their concentration camps in nearby compliant/dominated countries as well.
These judges can arrest everyone else, if they don’t then they are feckless and complicit in democracy dieing
So that means they will imprison everyone involved in this because they went against a judge order right?
Hold every ice agent in contempt
Consequences for defying the courts??? No? Ok
So how are these orders being enforced?
