Was he not here on an asylum claim and thus in the US legally?
Look, we all know the asylum claims were *grossly* abused by previous administrations so it's hard to have sympathy for many of them. That said, the guy had been here quite a while. From what I've read and heard he was paying taxes and reporting in with immigration authorities. Whether or not that's true - I'm open to reading whatever you've got on the facts.
It's one thing for an administration to revoke the temporary residency status; it's another thing to ship deportees straight to brutal off-site prisons.
Let's pretend for a second his claims (the basis of asylum request) of fearing for his life (because of gang retribution) are true - it's not a leap to imagine that gangs control el salvador prisons and now he's a sitting duck for assassination. What if he was lawfully in the US? Now his life is over probably.
I don't know - maybe what they're doing here is technically within the law of the United States, but it sure doesn't seem within the spirit. One would think that President Trump of all people would get that. I support him deporting violent immigrants especially, but this feels and smells and looks like a mistake that was made and now there's a cover up. The cover up is always worse than the mistake and usually leads to destruction.
Are you aware of how brutal MS13 members are? Rape of small children, murder, torture? If he was a member of MS13 in his home country and committed those types of crimes, why should that country not have the right to try him under the laws of their country?
I don’t understand your and cnn’s concern. I really don’t. MS13 members have ACTUALLY taken over neighborhoods in this country and they rule the streets with terror, and you’re concerned over someone who is a member of a terrorist organization having RIGHTS under OUR Constitution?
The sword cuts both ways, and the Biden administration use of "Emergency" declarations empowered the Trump government to continue with the same.
So a declaration of "Emergency" to manage the Biden open invasion invitation seems proportional and appropriate.
There are responsibilities to citizenship as well as privileges, and abusing immigration laws as an opening move does not look like a commitment to citizenship.
Definitely get that argument. The Biden admin, especially, teed us up for disaster. I have a family member in Georgia; I took Laken Riley's death really hard.
His asylum request was based on his life being threatened by rival 18th street gang members. According to Venezuela the 18th st. gang has been disbanded. No more rival gang, no more threat, no more reason for asylum.
How did they find him, I wonder, to pick him up? Usually, gang members tend to hang out together -- was he caught in a "sweep"? If so, maybe he should have chosen his friends better.
No they are not. SCOTUS said the US must "facilitate". There is nothing to facilitate if the President of El Salvador will not release him. Why don't you watch the presser with POTUS and El Salvadorian president in the Oval two days ago.
As CStone said.
He was here ILLEGALLY.
He was deported to his HOME COUNTRY.
His home country considers him a MS 13 gang member.
His home country put him in a prison for gang member.
I don’t see what is so hard to understand about that.

He was ordered to Deport in 2019 and stayed.
If he had obeyed the law and complied THEN, he would not be in the predicament he is NOW.

The operative word in your entire post being IF.
IF he was those things.
There has never been a conviction of any crime that I can find.
An immigration judge in the US issued a ‘withhold from deportation’ order. Possibly for a good reason.
A news article was posted this afternoon that this person had been arrested twice for domestic violence in the past few years!
And a protective order issued.
Yes. 2021.
Possibly.

But I'm not sure how he was taken
Watch the Greenwald link I posted above. The administration is blatantly ignoring a court order.
