Calling this one person's deportation to El Salvador a mistake implicitly suggests that all of the other people deported to El Salvador concentration camps were both on purpose, justified, and of course good actually.

This will be used when citizens will begin to be deported as well. The idea of a specific person sent there unjustly, implying that everyone else sent there is fine and they deserve it.

This is ignoring that Garcia wasn't sent there mistakenly anyway. It's all on purpose, or at best, neutral - if he was identified by the algorithm, then he deserved it. (Maybe that's the scariest outcome, actually).

I think it's because the government admitted that this was a mistake. Deporting someone when the government deporting him says it's a mistake is egregious.

this is basically what's happening, none of the other innocents have had any sort of attention from any courts or anything but their families and the fascist stormtroopers that took him away. their has been coverage about up to 90% of the people taken having never committed any crime at all, but this particular guy is the face because a court actually admitted they shouldn't have bagged him, as you said. so that means there continues to be judicial process to report on as relates to Garcia where everyone else there is just sort of...

Yeah it's the difference between a rigged court finding you guilty and imprisoning you even if you are innocent versus the court finding you innocent and putting you in jail anyway.
