It’s all so stupid. Our politicians are just totally worthless. He’s in jail in El Salvador. Super. Bring in a laptop and sign in to free zoom and give him his hearing. The accused here appear by camera from jail every single day
SCt orders admin to facilitate return of wrongly deported Maryland man

The only difference with that is you would need some way of making sure no one at his end is coercing him. I am not willing to bet El Salvador has the guarantees we have. So take him to the US Embassy could work.
Like a fine wine, you only get better with age.
You would have to do something like that where he is in some sort of US custody on the chance he wins his case and is allowed to return.
The thing is, none of this is an undue burden on the US. But 90% of Trump's schtick is, "never compromise, apologize, back away." So we can't do it even though it would be painfully easy.
It would all go away if he'd just comply with the ruling. Give him due process and nothing to complain about.
That’s really arrogant. Are you trying to make American great by ordering around the president of another country?
Isn’t the Salvadoran danger upon which the remain in US order is based an objective test? Garcia doesn’t have any evidence to submit anyway—he wouldn’t know. Maybe we could hold a hearing where he appears virtually. That’s becoming more common.
isn’t that what defines democracy? Fortunately, the FF inserted some safe guards. We eliminated one safeguard with the 17th amendment. There is substantial support for also eliminating the electoral college safeguard.
The democrats disregarded the laws our culture and politics produced regarding illegal immigration. Now politics has produced Trump who is trying to fix that mistake and people accuse Trump of creating a constitutional crisis and ignoring laws to get at the devil. 70-80% of Americans agree with trump. The democrats deliberately acted counter to that and we now have a mess.
Wtf are you talking about? He backs off all the time. Tariffs. On the verge in Ukraine.
1) we order other countries around all the time. 2) we signed a deal with them where we pay them to take these people, you mean we were not smart enough to include an oops clause? That would be pretty stupid. 3) if nothing else, stop paying them for him (at the barest minimum). 4) we haven't even politely asked, let alone demand
What would we do if he were American? He is under US court protection.
Asking is not hard. Do you really think they would turn it down? They want to curry favor with the US. Many countries want to curry favor
How dare Marv suggest DJT act arrogant to achieve a goal given how humble and unassuming the man is.
Are we sure he could even pull it off?
He also does it because it makes Democrats look ridiculous and keeps them occupied with something silly. The dude has been doing it for 10 years and Democrats still can't help themselves.
Bukele said he doesn’t have the power to release him. US authorities have no authority. Presumably there is some document somewhere dealing with his confinement. He is a Salvadoran citizen in custody of Salvadoran authorities. There is an existing deportation order issued with due process The question now is whether Salvador is a danger for him. What fo you think of a virtual hearing?
CoH, haven't you said in the past that rule by the people is what defines democracy as per the direct election of the U.S. Senate (sorry, couldn't resist
)As I keep saying, when we the people become too divided over our politics (as in a culture war) our democracy is in jeopardy of becoming dysfunctional.
Bukele "said" he doesn't have the power to release him?? Do you know anything about that guy? He replaced their entire Sup Ct. and had it allow him to run for reelection despite an explicit ban on that in their constitution. I'm sure he could secure the release of one person who hasn't even been convicted of a crime in El Salvador. Of course, if you can't get him out, isn't that a reason for Garcia to fear going back to El Salvador? They threw him in prison without committing a crime there. Why?
I suggested a virtual hearing as a compromise position previously. Problem is, there's still a court order out there that the government violated.
I’ve suggested repeal of the 17th Amendment frequently as a means to lessen the impact of big money in politics and to perhaps make the senate less dysfunctional.CoH, haven't you said in the past that rule by the people is what defines democracy as per the direct election of the U.S. Senate (sorry, couldn't resist
Nah. Arrogance would be calling Canada the 51st state, calling the prime minister a governor and then punishing Canada for not obeying. It might also be infinitely more arrogant when you tell the Netherlands that Greenland "will be ours one way or the next".
At least Lincoln would’ve squeezed that into 272 words…You really think our President is trying to avoid divisions?
The DOJ lawyers who admitted-- truthfully-- in court that the rendition was a mistake were fired.
Read Justice Samuel Alito’s Dissent in the Alien Enemies Act Case
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote that the Supreme Court’s decision to block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under a wartime law was premature.
“Shortly after midnight yesterday, the Court hastily and prematurely granted unprecedented emergency relief”
CoH, don't know about the Colorado state legislature, but back home in Indiana money, as in big donors, does have influence.
This includes PAC money from both in state and outside the state who donate to local pols and run political ads. Heck, even those running for local school boards are now getting funded from PACs.
Latest phenomenon are rich candidates spending millions of their own money to run for mayor or governor.
IF they were responsible for the mistake, then they should be fired.
And it may be that his nation at this time needs someone like that to clean up the crime and murder. I'm not bringing his actions up for that reason, only to disprove his statement that he simply doesn't have the power to get a detainee released that the U.S. is paying his nation to hold.
I mean, he ends it with "I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!" If I knew how to do a sig, I might add that to mine.You really think our President is trying to avoid divisions?
They weren't. That was all DNI, not DOJ. Don't get your Barbies mixed up.
