Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Senator Chris Van Hollen: ''We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.''

It’s possible that he’s already been killed or tortured to such an extent that releasing him would raise more scrutiny than disregarding the judiciary. Considering the naked sadism motivating this, I suspect they’re keeping him alive as a hostage. If the Supreme Court actually orders the regime to do something it doesn’t want to (unlikely; they’ll find a face-saving way to submit), I think they’ll want to pointedly show that Abrego Garcia is alive to send a message when he “commits suicide after privately confessing guilt to El Salvadoran authorities”. Trump and Bukele will laugh about it on camera and say they did their best to comply, but there’s nothing they can do now.

I’m glad to see he’s alive. I wish that didn’t redouble my suspicion that we’re being set up for a real Ned Stark situation

With Republicans doing their torture tours showing us Abu Ghraib 2, they're going to keep him alive and well so when he does return he can say he was treated well. Prisoners in this place have nothing but boxers on. This man has the cloths he came in on. I don't think this place is neatly and orderly maintaining all their prisoners personal items in storage to be returned to them on release. He is clearly being kept out of the general population.
