Government argues it no longer has control over Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s fate

Summary

ICE admitted it mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia—despite his legal protection from removal—to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison.

A Maryland judge had barred his deportation due to gang threats in El Salvador.

The Trump administration claims it can’t intervene since he’s no longer in U.S. custody.

His family is suing to compel his return. The administration also deported over 200 Venezuelans using emergency powers, some without criminal records, sparking legal challenges and criticism of its use of the Alien Enemies Act.

    I’m a white middle class cis gender heterosexual person, and I don’t feel safe at all.

      Every service you depend on is being cut, and wealth extraction of the middle class is going into high gear to make the upper class richer. No reason to feel safe.

        I think they’re saying they also feel threatened by this administration, despite not ticking any of the boxes that would make them “undesirable” to the regime. And they have good reason to feel this way. Nobody’s really safe in fascism except for the people doing the fascism.
