The Trump administration has deported 17 more alleged gang members to El Salvador, the US state department has said, despite legal battles over removing people to the Central American country’s supermax prison.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the group included members of the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs.
Salvadoran government officials told the BBC they included a mix of Venezuelans and Salvadorans.
I’m predicting another round of no consequences for Donnie and the morons.
How does this legally fly given the previous stay?
It doesn’t, but the point is once they are in El Salvador, good luck getting them back even if the courts win. Because now you’re dealing with a sovereign nation who can easily just say “nah, we don’t feel like giving them back and we don’t respect your courts.” That’s kind of the entire point of sending them somewhere like that to begin with.
At that point wouldn’t it just be cheaper to execute them than to pay to fly them to death camps in some other country? You can’t really bring them back that way either. I just don’t get the logistics of this once you’re sending someone to a death camp why not just save the millions it takes to get them there. If you or I kidnapped someone and sent them to a third world country to be killed it would still be considered murder so I don’t see how it is ethically any different?
It’s been said before, but it bears repeating:
The cruelty is the point.
Death is swift and ends suffering. As much as they like to promote the death penalty, they much prefer to make their victims suffer.
Earlier this month a court ordered a halt to deportations carried out under the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law previously used only in wartime. However, US media, citing administration sources, reported that the recent deportations were made under general immigration laws.
That’s all that the article says. We’ll see how the judge responds…
We’ll see how the judge responds…
Stop that or I’ll say stop that again.
If the judge doesn’t find the executive in contempt than the US is dead. There will be no more point fighting for it because it will be a corpse that is simply having death throes.
What needs to be said is “Mr. President, I’d like you to meet U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens.”
There’s no way this government would ever declare American citizens to be a part of this gang and sent to El Salvador. No sir. No need for Americans to be worried one bit.
