The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.

Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.

A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump's administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not "have the power" to return him.

Well, someone either needs to go to prison or we're cooked as a country.

[–] Potatisen@lemmy.world 95 points 5 days ago (15 children)

Aaaand which one do you think it is?

America has been lost for a while, Trump is just not smart enough to keep it together.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 67 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Krasnov is not there to "keep it together."

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 67 points 5 days ago (11 children)

Got to admit, he's accomplished a shit ton in his first 100 days already, way more than basically any president in history.

He's doing a fantastic job of destroying the country in every single way simultaneously. Not just destroying the democracy directly, but all American influence and soft power worldwide. He has already managed to do more damage to America than any terrorist attacks ever could have imagined, in record time.

Really? You think the courts will do something? You allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power who has 34 felony convictions on record and has never spent one second in prison.

Someone should go to prison...You're joking right?

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 5 days ago (2 children)

They allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power a couple of months after the courts decided that presidents should have dictator powers and the full plans for what they're doing now called project 2025 was doing the rounds.

I truly feel bad for the good and decent people that were born into a country of fucking sociopath illiterate inbred clowns but Donald Trump's 'approval' rating has never even gone below 40%. In fact just last night I saw an article saying that his approval rating has actually rebounded a little bit.

I used to love Americans. There's still a few that I think are pretty cool. But this whole thing has changed my opinion of them in general. In a not at all good way. I think I despair more about the otherwise decent seeming people who claim they voted for the price of eggs or some shit than I do about the stereotypical 'Murica' people that worship Trump like Jesus. My image of the USA was betrayed the most by those people.

If a domestic violence allegation is all it takes to get send away, then 40% of all police officers in this country need to GTFO on that alone.

(Not saying domestic violence is good, obviously. Just using their logic here.)

[–] Liberteez@lemm.ee 75 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Daily reminder that he wasn't deported, because deportation is a process and they skipped the process and sent him straight to a death camp

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Daily reminder that the USA is literally falling to a dictatorship no different than any of the other dictator-led nations around the world like Chad, Sudan, North Korea, Burma, Iran, Pakistan, Laos and so many others.

What? You can't relate because they're not white? Get it together people, skin color has been a distraction since the dawn of human migration, if you're still compartmentalizing nations and people's by how they look, you're going to all lose all your happy comforts and shiny toys.

[–] laserm@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Daily reminder that the admin is in its second possible violation of a court order, with the first one being already confirmed as contempt by judge Boasberg and in which he's seeking criminal contempt.

It's his third month in office.

His lawyers can try to split hairs about "facilitate" vs. "effectuate" but saying he will never come back to the US after being ordered to try to get him back to the US seems like the most obvious violation possible of a 9 - 0 supreme court decision. If republicans were honest, trump could be removed from office by Saturday morning. What would there be to even investigate?

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 72 points 5 days ago (20 children)

Kilmar Ábrego García: Deported without due process will never live ~~back in US, says White House~~

That's the correct title.

Unfortunately, the guy is -probably- dead.
It's not that they won't bring him back, it's that they can't bring him back.
tRUMP directly killed this guy with his policies. What will be done about it? Tell me, what will be done...

Oh yeah. Very dead. Although my guess is he got murdered in the prison within a couple days or even hours. Probably the moment they went from "administration error" to "that guy was obviously in a gang".

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago

Worst case scenario is the 'prison' is nothing but a death camp and they're killing everybody.

And that's not the bad part. The really bad part is how FAST they can "off" an innocent U.S. citizen. This is the first one, they're gonna get faster.

It's such a wonderful coincidence that they managed to pick up and deport, what is reportedly, the most dangerous man in America by accident. These guys are really batting for a thousand here.

Those change.org petitions always go right into the round filing cabinet. I've signed so many of them, and not once have I ever seen one come into fruition.

"They thank you for self-identifying and putting your name on a list."

PS: self-identifying is some orwellian shit.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 59 points 5 days ago (8 children)

You could be next. Meet your neighbors. Organize. arm yourself. You have allowed a dictator to take control of your country. He will not let it go without a literal fight.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago

A friend of mine, who is a white female so white she's virtually translucent, with red hair and blue eyes had a child with a South American Native 20 years ago. Their daughter looks like a South American Native. No trace of her mother's heritage. My friend is terrified.

My ex-girlfriends daughter did the same 5 or 6 years ago. Same result. They're terrified, also.

Of course not - the U.S. is run by a dictator who is being run by a foreign dictator.

Republicans all do what putin tells them to do - else no more money.

You've installed a dictator and given him the ability to ignore the courts without repercussions and do whatever he pleases with you and your fellow citizens. And he is.

Oh, so we DO care about protective orders for women who have been abused??? I thought we weren't supposed to care about that when it comes to people, even if they're POTUS.
