The United States is on the verge of a constitutional crisis as Donald Trump says that he has no authority to bring back individuals unlawfully deported to El Salvador, despite SCOTUS' order
This is one of my biggest fears. When the administration ignored the original judge’s order to bring Garcia home, my immediate thoughts were either they don’t want to bring Garcia back in fear that he will share exactly what is happening down there, including the conditions and how people are being treated, or that Garcia may already be unalived. There is no other reason I can think of for them to stall bringing him back. Not to mention it took several days for them to even make the statement about him being alive. My heart breaks for what he and his family are going through.
There is a very good reason to NOT bring Garcia back. The DOJ lawyer in court today is the same lawyer the is handling the case over the Venezuelans and Salvadorans the were sent at the same time as Garcia. They've tried to make the same BS argument in front of Judge Boesberg, who wasn't buying it either. If the administration makes any effort to return Garcia, it can and likely will be used in the other case to return the Venezuelans and others who may be from other countries .
That case, SCOTUS forced a restart. The ACLU had to file (hopefully by class action) a writ of Habeus Corpus in Texas, that group's last point of common detention in the US. So it won't be Boesberg, but the SCOTUS ruling affects them all.
Garcia is one unique case, but the issue of "facilitating return" is common between them. In fact, because he's Salvadoran, it makes the case to return ALL the people sent unlawfully to El Salvador, even those who are Salvadoran by birth.
FWIW, El Salvador is a nation of laws and the people there also have rights, including Habeus Corpus. They cannot be held in prison without charges against them and due process in the courts. I believe a lawsuit was filed Salvadoran lawyers to get these people released since they haven't been charged with crimes in El Salvador.
Unfortunately, there are reports that the government there has great influence over their courts. They're probably being told the truth. The prisonors are Prisoners of America, and the prison space s being leased by the US govt.
My bet is the president of El Salvador will bring Garcia back to the US on his plane Monday, all clean dressed and fed. This way Trump will have taken no action, and it delays the return of the hundreds of prisoners that much longer.
The President and administration is directly and publicly defying the orders of the SCOTUS. The only remedy is court criminal contempt charges against Bondi, Blanch and Rubio, and Impeachment of the POTUS.
Unfortunately, based on what transpired today, in retrospect, I was wrong. There is no remedy. Nothing that brings anyone home. Worse, every indication that US citizenship offers no protection.
Kilmar's fate can happen to any of us at any time. Scary AF
You make some great points, and I agree about one case setting precedent for others. It will be interesting to see how tomorrow's meeting plays out to say the least.
Thank you … I to immediately went to what you wrote. Most likely El Salvador Fascist Regime immediately tortured and executed him or allowed the members of gangs who had been threatening to kill him( and his reason for fleeing to USA) to get their hands on him and kill him. As horrific as this sounds, I sense that this is the reason for drjump and Bukele evading responsibility.
Sure they could but that doesn't mean Trump will listen to those judges because SCOTUS gave him free reign to do whatever TF he wants without consequences or repurcussions
Probably nothing since THE SCOTUS GAVE TRUMP FREE REIGN TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS TO DO. AMERICAN CITIZENS BE DAMNED. AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THE MONEY MACHINE GOING THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US
He was also caught on tape with that muderous president asking about building more facilities to incarcerate Americans!!! tRump told him he'll need at least 5 more facilities for what he is planning! Trump is the worst American traitor. Along with most of his crew!
a lina h abba is Iranian to boot talking about harming Americans and threatening them.
But in order to not defy the court, they have to either a) bring him home alive 🙏, b) have his body delivered or they then do c) ignore both a and b in which case they are violating the law. So if they don’t want to violate the law, they have to do a or b. And if it’s b …. Does someone go to jail for kidnapping? If so, who?
We are all a person without a country if our president Won't and claims he Can't, get an individual out of a country. We ( also should not be paying taxes)/ Know he Imported Elon without Any ANY permit or even the courtesy of obeying Legal protocol. Ie Asking Congress for a new Dept. These are not trivial coffee Klatch. It is the Law. Break the Constitution you get Those repercussions. Someone knows what they are. Let Congress say no;. Then he can be a jerk. One country who is not officially at war has Complete authority to demand a law abiding citizen returned. Diplomacy and rules from some fired individual can put it in action. He then can play his bribe- and/or threaten people game. Any time. Since he uses it on his Cabinet. We also have every right to Deport Musk. He is causing grave disturbance.
My strong opinion on the El Salvador situation is that these immigrants were SOLD INTO SLAVERY to another country! 1. No due process to prove legal or illegal immigrant (my opinion is that all immigrants are welcome here...as we are ALL immigrantsor descendantsof, unless Native American, but I digress) 2. No due process to determine criminal (guilty) or not (innocent). 3. Not returned to country of origin. SOLD. FOR. A. PROFIT. To a random ass country with some of the worst prison conditions.
And the worst part? Complete disregard for ANY checks and balances from the Judiciary.
We aren't so helpless that we can't send a woman cabinet member to stand in front of that prison in El Salvador for a photo op! If, by some miracle, we do get people back, it won't be because of trump's hard work although he will take credit for it so he can be a hero to his base. Disgusting, vile man! And, how long will I, or any of us, be free to speak our thought of him?
This is for sure the catalyst to what is next. It was hearing him say that he is throwing around the idea of deporting citizens that heightened my anxiety. He mentioned only “the worse criminals” but wouldn’t they already be in jail? This is a living nightmare and I’m so disappointed that we got here. I cry randomly for all the “administrative errors” that have been done with this deportation process. The young man sent there due to an autism awareness tattoo 💔😢
Actually we did not receive a profit from sending him to el Salvador—we paid 6 MILLION dollars for the privilege of sending him there. I suspect the pres of El Salvador ( not a nice man) will extort more millions to send him back and save Trump’s skin.
Not sold. Paying. IThe US has paid $6 million, for the use of that foreign prison. The administration realized when they opened and then had to close the concentration camp in Guantanimo, Cuba., that if the US runs it, the courts can reach it.
They decided to use the same scheme the CIA uses. Black Op sites in foreign countries with cooperation of those governments, paying money keep them secret and blind from oversight. The problem is that this was a huge number, and these people have families so the word got out. If ICE and CBP hadn't been under pressure to round up large numbers to satisfy political quotas this might have gone on longer.
For all we know, CIA interrogators are there in El Salvador, torturing people for "names" to send more on this one way road to a 21st century concentration camp.
Well, he’s already been charged and convicted of multiple felonies so that doesn’t seem to matter. Wondering if there’s any sort of hard line with his supporters.
The disbelieving part of me says that in politics, as it is injustice, you only get as much as you can afford. I’m trying to break that cycle of thought because only by standing together and demanding change will we see any
There is no line for many of them I’m afraid. I saw a TikTok with a debate and someone actually said he could shoot someone in Times Square ny and they’d believe he had a valid reason.
Or human trafficking. Do we know if the El Salvador gang that he left because of the first time, didn’t hire Trump to get him back? Sounds like a conspiracy theory I know. But sometimes when you hooves you have to think of zebras.
There are some that are siding with the Democrats. A lot of them are afraid they’ll lose their jobs. They’ve seen what Trump does with people he doesn’t like.
So , lose your job snd save your soul. Thousand and thousands have innocently lost their jobs in the past three months and the GOP legislators who are aiding and abetting this don’t seem to give a rats ass.
Exactly. Pols have to show some stones! I went against MAGA Nazis and was Primaried. I knew it would happen, yet I sacrificed my Officer to “do the right thing.”
As a result- I have Leadership Capital in spades after 8 years in County Office… and most sane county residents know what and why I did it. I am a Navy Veteran as well, so I know what service means…unlike many so-self-called “Patriots” who talk alot of shite, yet never served!
I’m split on that one. Yes it would be good for him to know that so many citizens are against him. At the same time, he tends to behave irrationally when he finds out people don’t like him. I think it’s a matter of how brave you are And how willing you are to lay it all out there on the line. However, nothing worth having is not worth fighting for I love your words ✌️
Yeah, so how is that working. He is picking up citizens now who are just protesting. They Lie about everyrhing else. This is today! Tomorrow people need to rise up!
You have only the rights you are willing to fight for. I appreciate you sharing your views on the subject though. I do believe that in the protests I’ve seen that have multiple thousands of people protesting. They would have a very hard time arresting all of them. I think The power is in numbers. I do respect your opinion. You make a very good point. Thank you for joining the dialogue. I have great respect for you.😎
I’ve been saying this since the very beginning!! This IS treason!! He is lying down with the enemy and he is not putting the United States of America first! The American people want him out! He’s a danger to our country and to the American people!! He is nothing but a criminal!!
it’s terrible when you have to be afraid of your government and they’re the ones that are supposed to be working for you. That’s why you pay them money out of every paycheck.
And another countries! We are not alone here he is impacting the entire world and there’s a lot of countries that are ticked off, as well they should be. What scares me is that now he wants to start sending the “homegrown“ terrorists over there, a.k.a. anyone who has an opinion he doesn’t like, and they have the gall to voice it
IMPEACH THIS MOTHERFUCKER! I’m tired of this bullshit. He disappeared Garcia off the street and was told by a federal judge that any planes in the must turn around and he brought them to El Salvador anyways without due process. This nonsense has to stop and I’m not just talking about him…Vance, Elon Musk must be removed and his whole administration. Period.
Kilmar wasn’t just any migrant - he’s a Salvadoran. We have no jurisdiction after returning him to his government, unlike another nation’s citizen we send there for holding.
Our government messed this up and our government should be the ones to fix it. If DT is so tough as he claims and such a good negotiator, he should negotiate with Salvadorian government to right his wrong. He negotiated deals to hold US prisoners so that must give the US some sort of jurisdiction within that prison. Even if it doesn’t I revert back to DT messed this up and should do everything he can to fix it/make it right. Has he even apologized to the family yet? Offered some sort of compensation? Protection? Assurance?
I wouldn’t want an empty apology from DT, would you? We know he’s an abject liar. Reparations will have to be paid but, he’s still gone. Would we have returned Brittney Griner if Putin claimed there was a clerical error? No, of course not. Trump has zero negotiating leverage here.
Did we strike any kind of deal with Russia to house our prisoners? We have with El Salvador. I think that’s the difference here. We are working with El Salvador on these migrants so why can’t DT continue a discussion with him?
You’re missing the point - it’s a sick and sad point, but, reality - we returned a Salvadoran national to his country. We have zero rights to this particular prisoner. He was in the US for his safety, but not granted any legal status here except asylum. We can’t demand him even be extradited because he didn’t commit a crime here to adjudicate. Legally, we don’t have any claim to him. We handed him back to his country to be tortured. The U.S. is knowingly violating Article 3 & Article 5 of the Convention against Torture. Repercussions from the global community for these offenses are the best recourse at this point.
I’m not missing your point, got it. My point is that if our president is on good enough terms with the president of El Salvador and labels himself such a good negotiator, why isn’t he doing anything with his great relationship to try to reunite this human with his family? Why can’t both things be true? Your point and my point?
That's the thing. The US is leasing space in that prison. They paid $6 million. They are still under US Control.
This is why the president of El Salvador can do nothing. His remark said he had no power to return him.
He said how could he return him, smuggle him in? That, with statements from Trump and Bondi show clearly the Trump admin is directly and openly defying the orders of the SCOTUS.
If dorky former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem can pose for a flashy picture as Secretary of Homeland Security in front of the prison bars where they are being held, send her down to bring Garcia home.
How??? We do not live in a democracy anymore. We live in an oligarchy dictatorship. The only way we can get a somewhat handle on this is to put Democrats back into the Congress, which will be hard to do because they have rigged our election process and all the gerrymandering. Or, last resort prepare for a civil war!
I thought tRump was a great deal maker?? He can’t come to a deal with the President of El Salvador??? I hope this man is returned safely and then he SUES THE FKN GOVERNMENT FOR MILLIONS!!
He’s probably going to meet with him tomorrow, make it look like he arranged a deal to bring Garcia home, and then look like the hero to all his cult members.
I don’t know how anyone could look at this guy as a fugging hero. We really are a stupid fking country. I’ve never been so embarrassed to be an American in my life.
But he had the authority to send them there? Just say it as it is :I have no intention to follow the Supreme Court Ruling. I am a king and my decrees will be followed or you will me branded a traitor
EXACTLY what I was thinking. I also think that the man should be brought home to his family, where he belongs - and trump can take his place in the prison.
He also doesnt have the authority to do half the garbage he is doing but here we are????
Hello..he's driving our country right over a cliff
We’re already off the cliff and just like a car going off a cliff we’re bursting and burning🔥
Vcxd
Agree💯
So, out of morbid curiosity as I certainly hope this is not the case … what happens if the poor young man was killed in El Salvador?
This is one of my biggest fears. When the administration ignored the original judge’s order to bring Garcia home, my immediate thoughts were either they don’t want to bring Garcia back in fear that he will share exactly what is happening down there, including the conditions and how people are being treated, or that Garcia may already be unalived.

Well I was wrong about being returned.
The President and administration is directly and publicly defying the orders of the SCOTUS. The only remedy is court criminal contempt charges against Bondi, Blanch and Rubio, and Impeachment of the POTUS.
Make it so. Can’t happen fast enough.
Unfortunately, based on what transpired today, in retrospect, I was wrong. There is no remedy. Nothing that brings anyone home. Worse, every indication that US citizenship offers no protection.

Could his wife & family sue for what has happened to him???
Sure they could but that doesn't mean Trump will listen to those judges because SCOTUS gave him free reign to do whatever TF he wants without consequences or repurcussions
Supreme court needs to be dealt with and wipe those smirks off their crooked @sssss.
I sure hope so. This is worse than a nightmare
Probably nothing since THE SCOTUS GAVE TRUMP FREE REIGN TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS TO DO. AMERICAN CITIZENS BE DAMNED. AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THE MONEY MACHINE GOING THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US
They should charge him with murder!
I just read on Lev Parnas’ Substack that Trump is bragging that he has no plans to bring Garcia back. Will defy the SCJ orders
He was also caught on tape with that muderous president asking about building more facilities to incarcerate Americans!!! tRump told him he'll need at least 5 more facilities for what he is planning! Trump is the worst American traitor. Along with most of his crew!
a lina h abba is Iranian to boot talking about harming Americans and threatening them.
I would assume that would never be revealed.

He’s a liar backed by LIARS! 😣🤯🤬🫶🏽🇺🇸💯💙🙏🏼🙏🏽🆘💙
Trump needs to be charged with treason and removed from office along with his VP and appointees
Charge him with KIDNAPPING!!
My strong opinion on the El Salvador situation is that these immigrants were SOLD INTO SLAVERY to another country! 1.

*screams into void*
Not the void. I hear you and I’m with you. This is beyond enraging.
I hear you too! I honestly thought I was the one yelling into the void. It’s nice to know. There are other sane people out there.
Thank you! ♡
It's so terrifying that we are helpless to bring a HUMAN BEING HOME!
We aren't so helpless that we can't send a woman cabinet member to stand in front of that prison in El Salvador for a photo op! If, by some miracle, we do get people back, it won't be because of trump's hard work although he will take credit for it so he can be a hero to his base. Disgusting, vile man! And, how long will I, or any of us, be free to speak our thought of him?
Speak our thoughts outright. I will not be suppressed!
Thank you! ♡ It's getting harder to find allies, but we are out here! ♡ Thank you for speaking up, too.
This is for sure the catalyst to what is next. It was hearing him say that he is throwing around the idea of deporting citizens that heightened my anxiety.

Confiscate tRUMPS money for all the costs!
I couldn't stand that salvadorian @--- giving the wave...

Such a tiny, tiny country. Could be taken care of easily enough...
ibwas thinking this too

The disbelieving part of me says that in politics, as it is injustice, you only get as much as you can afford. I’m trying to break that cycle of thought because only by standing together and demanding change will we see any

That’s true! #TeflonDon!😡🤬
There is no line for many of them I’m afraid. I saw a TikTok with a debate and someone actually said he could shoot someone in Times Square ny and they’d believe he had a valid reason.
Or human trafficking. Do we know if the El Salvador gang that he left because of the first time, didn’t hire Trump to get him back? Sounds like a conspiracy theory I know. But sometimes when you hooves you have to think of zebras.
Exactly, THROW THE BOOK AT HIM!!!
No kidnap and imprison all the freaks...I had a dream.
They gave him Federal immunity. 😫😢
The entire Republican Party are guilty with active participation or cowardice complicity
Guilty of High Crimes at least Treason at worst
Tfg is a symptom of decades of GOP corruption
They opened the door and welcomed this criminal in TWICE
No GOP
No shitshow w/the clown and his court jesters🤡
If we take our cntry back this prty has got to go
They will forever be thought of around the world as a treasonous prty never to be trusted
Republicans Are The Problem
There are some that are siding with the Democrats. A lot of them are afraid they’ll lose their jobs. They’ve seen what Trump does with people he doesn’t like.
So , lose your job snd save your soul. Thousand and thousands have innocently lost their jobs in the past three months and the GOP legislators who are aiding and abetting this don’t seem to give a rats ass.
Agree Janice
If they are putting themselves before their oaths to their country they certainly are not worthy of a seat at America’s table that WTP pay for
We need courageous patriotism NOT cowardice complicity for personal agendas
Exactly. Pols have to show some stones! I went against MAGA Nazis and was Primaried. I knew it would happen, yet I sacrificed my Officer to “do the right thing.”
As a result- I have Leadership Capital in spades after 8 years in County Office… and most sane county residents know what and why I did it. I am a Navy Veteran as well, so I know what service means…unlike many so-self-called “Patriots” who talk alot of shite, yet never served!
Down with the GOP.
For once I'd like to hear tRump is afraid of what the PEOPLE will do to him. Pick up the pace Citizens!!!!
I’m split on that one. Yes it would be good for him to know that so many citizens are against him. At the same time, he tends to behave irrationally when he finds out people don’t like him. I think it’s a matter of how brave you are And how willing you are to lay it all out there on the line. However, nothing worth having is not worth fighting for I love your words ✌️
Yeah, so how is that working. He is picking up citizens now who are just protesting. They Lie about everyrhing else. This is today! Tomorrow people need to rise up!
You have only the rights you are willing to fight for. I appreciate you sharing your views on the subject though. I do believe that in the protests I’ve seen that have multiple thousands of people protesting. They would have a very hard time arresting all of them. I think The power is in numbers. I do respect your opinion. You make a very good point. Thank you for joining the dialogue. I have great respect for you.😎
Absolutely - all of them.
I’ve been saying this since the very beginning!! This IS treason!! He is lying down with the enemy and he is not putting the United States of America first! The American people want him out! He’s a danger to our country and to the American people!! He is nothing but a criminal!!
It is happening now!!!
Yes but WHO is going to do this and why aren’t they 😭 he’s continuing to drive this country into the damn ground
Some things are not said but may be happening. We shall see....
it’s terrible when you have to be afraid of your government and they’re the ones that are supposed to be working for you. That’s why you pay them money out of every paycheck.
Agreed!
And Mike Johnson
All the protesters in the US4
And another countries! We are not alone here he is impacting the entire world and there’s a lot of countries that are ticked off, as well they should be. What scares me is that now he wants to start sending the “homegrown“ terrorists over there, a.k.a. anyone who has an opinion he doesn’t like, and they have the gall to voice it
Get rid of Donald Trump. He has no business in that White House enough is enough somebody please help us.
Ya he should be getting help medical help,he a sick old man am tired of old over privileged people being are so called leaders. Both feet in the grave
We can’t count on anyone but ourselves. I had hoped other countries might have opened a door.
The Democrats in the House and Senate have to move their ass.
We have to show up. Then we’re lucky enough to have Bernie and AOC out there also the huge crowds they attract.
I’m at a loss ❤️🩹
there is nobody helping. you can start a revolution asap or decide to leave the country. there is nothing else.
IMPEACH THIS MOTHERFUCKER! I’m tired of this bullshit. He disappeared Garcia off the street and was told by a federal judge that any planes in the must turn around and he brought them to El Salvador anyways without due process. This nonsense has to stop and I’m not just talking about him…Vance, Elon Musk must be removed and his whole administration. Period.
Impeachment is not ENOUGH
Right! He needs to be removed and incarcerated!!
We can't impeach and convict/remove with the Congress we currently have. The Republicans have the majority in both the House and Senate.
The people enmass can override anything
Impeachment is not possible until we have a majority in Congress.
Then we NEED TO PRESSURE Republicans to VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT— come on people, THEY WORK FOR US!! CALL, EMAIL, WRITE!! They work for “we the people”!!😡
This is chilling. And has been my question since January 20. Who will stop him?
They have a relationship with El Salvador to house these migrants- how is he unable to retrieve him? Wonder what handshake deal they made?… scary!
Kilmar wasn’t just any migrant - he’s a Salvadoran. We have no jurisdiction after returning him to his government, unlike another nation’s citizen we send there for holding.
Our government messed this up and our government should be the ones to fix it.

I’m not missing your point, got it. My point is that if our president is on good enough terms with the president of El Salvador and labels himself such a good negotiator, why isn’t he doing anything with his great relationship to try to reunite this human with his family? Why can’t both things be true? Your point and my point?
Of course he hasn’t apologized. His mentor years ago said never apologize. Double down.
I call bullshit
That's the thing. The US is leasing space in that prison. They paid $6 million. They are still under US Control.
This is why the president of El Salvador can do nothing. His remark said he had no power to return him.
He said how could he return him, smuggle him in? That, with statements from Trump and Bondi show clearly the Trump admin is directly and openly defying the orders of the SCOTUS.
Yes, smuggle him back in if he has to! Go for it.

Here’s the Supreme Court ruling https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a949_lkhn.pdf
We’re already in a constitutional crisis
Yes!🙌
If dorky former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem can pose for a flashy picture as Secretary of Homeland Security in front of the prison bars where they are being held, send her down to bring Garcia home.
How is this not human trafficking
He’s a lying sack of crap ughhhhh this is disgraceful
Come on guys, wake up, let’s take our democracy back!!! STAT !!! LFG !!! WE CAN DO IT, TOGETHER!!! ✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽
How??? We do not live in a democracy anymore. We live in an oligarchy dictatorship. The only way we can get a somewhat handle on this is to put Democrats back into the Congress, which will be hard to do because they have rigged our election process and all the gerrymandering. Or, last resort prepare for a civil war!
I fear we are already in one, or, if he invokes the Insurrection Act of 1807 on the 20th, it will begin.
good whaT is your Town Square address.
He wasn’t deported. He was trafficked to a holding facility outside of the US.
I thought tRump was a great deal maker?? He can’t come to a deal with the President of El Salvador??? I hope this man is returned safely and then he SUES THE FKN GOVERNMENT FOR MILLIONS!!
He’s probably going to meet with him tomorrow, make it look like he arranged a deal to bring Garcia home, and then look like the hero to all his cult members.
I don’t know how anyone could look at this guy as a fugging hero. We really are a stupid fking country. I’ve never been so embarrassed to be an American in my life.
I had this exact same thought. He'll position that he's the "great negotiator" by getting him to agree to release him.
I hate this joke of a man
I’ve never wished for someone’s painful demise so much in my life… every day I wake up… just hoping/praying to see that news.
You would't believe how many awaken with the same wish!
And we will probably be paying through the nose for it, either in money (so much for fraud snd WASTE) or in favors.
I say asshole trump should bring the man home where he belongs, and he can take his place!
FK'r!!!!
If someone doesn’t stop this motherfucker then I don’t even know what to say about the idiots running this country except to VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
Also, if they don’t IMMEDIATELY say he cannot deport anyone else over this then they’re pathetic.
THIS is insane
But he had the authority to send them there? Just say it as it is :I have no intention to follow the Supreme Court Ruling. I am a king and my decrees will be followed or you will me branded a traitor
EXACTLY what I was thinking. I also think that the man should be brought home to his family, where he belongs - and trump can take his place in the prison.
Vance is next in line. He's just as worse
I can’t argue with that, except to say that trump IS a felon - and DOES belong in prison.
