The Supreme Court on Thursday said President Donald Trump’s administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, rejecting the administration’s emergency appeal

The administration claims Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, though his attorneys said there is no evidence he was in the gang, and he has never been charged with or convicted of a crime.

The administration has conceded that it made a mistake in sending him to El Salvador, where he is being held in a notorious prison, but also argued that it no longer could do anything about it.

The question is this: will he still be alive?

[-] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

And if not…will America finally react?

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago

The saddest part is that "alive" is not the real important part.

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 11 months ago

then what other objective part is? if you can't reliably measure something it isn't important.

[-] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

And will his corpse be intact?

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 58 points 11 months ago

I am pleasantly surprised, but also cautious. I won’t be genuinely happy until he’s back with his family.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

He's probably dead

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 22 points 11 months ago

The Orange Turd should be in jail.

[-] mdurell@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

One in El Salvador, perhaps?

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'd much prefer Mars. He'd blend in with the scenery.

My bet: he will take the Andrew Jackson route.

[-] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 11 months ago

For the confused: The SCOTUS ruled that Jackson wasn’t allowed to force the native Americans off of their lands and onto reservations. Jackson responded with something along the lines of “they’ve made their decision, now let’s see them enforce it.” He pushed ahead with the reservations anyways, which led to the Trail of Tears.

Until fairly recently, it has been the most direct “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” between a president and the SCOTUS. It led to Jackson’s opponents sarcastically dubbing him “King Andrew”.

Unsurprisingly he is Trump's favorite president.

I believe you're thinking Jefferson though Jackson did own enslaved people

[-] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 7 points 11 months ago

Jackson was a less well known slave raper that Jefferson.

[-] geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Unlike Jefferson, I don't believe there were any contemporaneous accounts of it, and there's never been any DNA evidence to confirm it. I mean Jackson was undoubtedly an asshole and believed in the institution of slavery (and I believe treated enslaved people inhumanely), but as far as I understood it, not for this in particular.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Here we goooo

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Sue or at least fire everyone responsible in the administration. This is not a game.

[-] j0ester@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Mistake. Sure, Jan.

This was a test of the Administration to see if they can put someone there.

[-] bluegreenwookie@bookwormstory.social 3 points 11 months ago

I think also to measure public reaction. They were all over the media saying "yeah but hes this horrible gang member so it's okay with abducted him and sent him to a notorious prison in another country without any due process" trying to justify it and see how bad the public would view it

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 7 points 11 months ago

It wasn't a mistake sadly

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Is a matchbox acceptable, because they’ll be lucky to get that.

[-] aTun@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

The court should rule that administration must pay for everyday to that guy they can't call back, the citizen they send to there.
