Not that it should be a surprise, but people are getting lost in the shuffle…

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Panamanian national, was mistakenly deported by U.S. immigration authorities despite a court order that should have prevented his removal. During a recent court hearing, Department of Justice officials were unable to confirm his current location, raising serious concerns about accountability and transparency within the immigration system. The case has sparked outrage among advocates and legal experts, who argue that such errors undermine trust in the judicial process and highlight systemic flaws in immigration enforcement.

The incident has prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Garcia’s deportation and the apparent communication breakdown between agencies. Legal representatives are demanding immediate action to locate Garcia and ensure his safe return to the U.S. This case underscores the need for robust safeguards to prevent similar occurrences and to uphold the integrity of the immigration system.

    There’s a high probability he’s dead, and they know it. If so, they’ll never get a body back.

      Even if he’s not dead, they’re deliberately not keeping records to make it impossible to be able to bring anyone back. It’s the one of the lessons they did learn from the Nazis. Did we ever reunite all the families Trump separated during his first term?

        I don’t have any answers, but I have the same questions about the separated children.

          Some of them were found working in meat packing plants in the US Midwest. Basically, slaves.

          Yeah. The Biden admin was focused on economic shit, but we could have used a moral victory to energize the voter base.

    Quick note: he wasn’t mistakenly deported. They deported him intentionally and thought they could get away with it.

        Even Scooby-Doo villains admit they would have gotten away with it after weeks of successfully getting away with it.

      Abrego Garcia allegedly has two pieces of paper from immigration court. Paper #1 (allegedly) is a final removal order, and it says he can be deported. Paper #2 is a withholding of removal order, and it says he can’t be deported to El Salvador.

      Why do I keep saying “allegedly”? Because in the current court case, the government was unable to produce paper #1 in court. So Judge Xinis made her decision on the basis that there was no legal authority to remove Abrego Garcia to anywhere. However, the record seems to indicate that paper #1 really does exist, even if the chucklefucks can’t find it.

      Why am I saying this here? Given the amount of utter stupidity with which this operation has been carried out, I think it may be reasonable that there may have been a legit mix-up between the two papers somewhere along the line. I have no evidence one way or the other.

          No, I don’t think there is anything very special or unique about Abrego Garcia.

          My theory is that someone ran a slapdash database search for unexecuted removal orders to El Salvador, to fill out a quota for the stunt.

    They don’t know. They intentionally aren’t tracking these people once they turn them over.

    Xinis issued a new order for the government to “take all available steps to facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return and directed it to provide her with a sworn statement from an individual “with personal knowledge” of the steps the government has taken or is planning to take to secure his return. But attorneys with the Justice Department told the judge on Friday morning that they needed more time to provide the sworn declaration, blowing past two deadlines she gave the department to file it.

    This is the same reason Trump’s lawyers refused to give sworn declarations that Trump had turned over all of the classified documents he stole: whoever signs the declaration is going to (a) be in the hot seat for everything that goes wrong with this case, and (b) be the fall guy when it finally falls apart.

    Trump has crippled the federal government and made us too weak to do anything about our own citizens.

        They keep removing any generals who don’t fall in line. The Greenland base’s vice chief got removed, that female admiral got removed, the joint chief dude got removed. Who knows how many lower level officers have been removed or had promotions revoked. For all the talk about military being trained to protect constitution the majority of grunt training is about following orders. It has to be to override natural resistance to killing people.
