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.

Hey, you’re a gang member with a criminal history in El Salvador, let’s get you deported.
What’s that, you say you’re not one?
Prove it without due process.
What’s that, you couldn’t do that? Too bad, the administration doesn’t care and you’re now in a foreign prison (and maybe dead)
Do you see why due process is important?
All of those facts are irrelevant and distractions though. Assuming that is the case then he should have been tried according to the rules of this country. The point in concentrating on this isn’t about the individual, it’s about the implication and precedent that is being set for everyone in the future.
I don’t care about him personally. I care about how they did this. That is the crux of the issue.
Is the left wing media in the room with you right now? No? Do you know why?
Because there is no left-wing media in the US. There are varying degrees of capitalist media corps and their apologists with a smattering of actual journalists trying to get their stories out in between but mainly being drowned out.
Cut it out.
Zero evidence for any of that shit you said.
I’d love to be proven wrong, but you won’t deliver.
Where are you getting this information?
From Fox News, because it’s patently bullshit. Garcia was never proven to be a gang member and the only connection was coerced testimony from a confidential informant who was facing deportation if they didn’t act as an informant, who gave the information to a detective who has since been fired from his position for multiple abuses of power and for lying under oath. Garcia was arrested for being brown outside of a home depot, not for any actual crime.
Every single attempt that has been made to force the US DOJ to produce proof of his gang membership has been denied, because it’s all a lie. FugginJerk just drank the kool-aid while telling other people not to drink the kool-aid.
But even that is beside the point – even if it wasn’t bullshit, he’s still owed due process as part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

So was he a criminal or not in El Salvador? Because to me it sounds like you just lied and are now trying to move the goalposts. Due process is the issue here, if you can’t understand that then don’t be surprised when people you know are wisked away to a prision in a foreign country.
You say it’s easy to find, yet I’m not finding anything. Can you point to a specific source?
So why not have a trial? Or follow the current established extradition process?
That’s a lot of typing to say you don’t give a fuck about the constitution. Why don’t you just say you don’t believe the gov’t should be bound by the constitution?
Why do you beat your wife?
Why do you beat your kids?
Aren’t assumptions fun?

Why not deport him using the actual process if he’s as bad as you say? Why do they have to wipe their ass with the Constitution to do it?
I would trade you for him
