SAME CASE.
He was originally here illegally but protected from deportation because of the danger of returning to El Salvador. He left El Salvador as a teenager because of those danger. When he was picked up by ICE in 2019, he was originally detained without bond because of the gang affiliation allegations. The ultimate result of those proceeding was a court order protecting him from removal and thus was a legal resident of the US from that point onward. Outside of the allegations from an officer and an unnamed informant in the bond proceeding, there was zero evidence he was ever a member of a gang and he has not been charged or convicted of any criminal wrong doing. He was arrested on March 13 of the this in Maryland. He was transported at some point to a holding facility in Texas. And then on March 15 (2 days after he was picked up), he was one of the people in the planes sent to El Salvador.
@JBJ there was no notice, no opportunity to file habeas, no knowledge of where he was. In two days he went from legal resident of Maryland to prisoner in El Salvador.
Fuck anyone excusing this. Fuck anyone saying we shouldn't be fucking outraged. Fuck anyone that says we should drop this. This is end of the country shit. If the government can do this, if it can get away with ignoring court orders, sending people to a foreign prison (and fucking paying for it), and then claim complete lack of ability to right those wrongs, then it can literally disappear anyone. No notice, no remedy, no law. This is fucking serious. More serious than a fucking war because the soul and entire future of this country is at stake.
This is "First they came for.... and I did nothing" type of shit.
