“… Now the question is who, if anyone, at the White House put together the operation and kept it pushing forward — even as a federal judge tried to block it. …”

Even worse than engaging with ZenMode is engaging with this Silence troll.

He’s 100% MAGA. He spews disinformation and malicious information. You CAN’T counter it.

You think you can counter it. You can’t.

You need to ignore him on this board.

“… During the hearing, Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni conceded that the U.S. government should not have deported Abrego García but said he was unable to answer the judge’s questions about the government’s legal authority to do so.

“On what authority was he seized?” Xinis asked.

“My answer to a lot of these questions is going to be frustrating,” Reuveni said. “And I’m frustrated that I don’t have answers to a lot of these questions.”

Xinis noted that the government lacked an arrest warrant or other documents to support his detention, a sign that “from the moment he was seized, it was unconstitutional.”

“That is not in the record and the government has not put that in the record,” Reuveni responded, “and that’s the best I can do.”

“Why can’t the United States get Mr. Abrego García back?” Xinis later asked.

“When this case landed on my desk, I asked my clients that very question,” Reuveni said.

“To date, I have not received an answer that is satisfactory.” …”

“… An immigration judge, appointed during the Trump administration, in 2019 barred the federal government from returning Abrego García to El Salvador on humanitarian grounds, after finding that he had a legitimate fear of being persecuted by the Barrio 18 gang.

Abrego García had said the gang had attempted to extort money from his mother’s pupusa shop and tried to recruit him to join the gang. He fled to the United States when he was 16.

Abrego García’s lawyers said he had no criminal record in the United States or in El Salvador. His immigration troubles began in March 2019, when he said police in Prince George’s County detained him and other young men looking for construction work at a Home Depot, according to the federal court records.

Police questioned Abrego García about gang activity but he said he wasn’t in a gang. Authorities then transferred him to ICE. Authorities have not charged him with any crimes.

Vance and the Department of Homeland Security have said Abrego García is a gang member, citing a Baltimore immigration judge’s 2019 ruling denying him bond, pending a full hearing, based on a confidential informant’s allegation.

The judge said he was “confirmed to be a ranking member of the MS-13 gang by a proven and reliable source.” He also had failed to show up for traffic court, she said.

After a full hearing later that year, then Immigration Judge David M. Jones, a former military judge, found that Abrego García faced multiple death threats from gangs, calling his testimony “credible.”

He ordered Abrego García released in October 2019 with a humanitarian protection called “withholding of removal.”

The government did not appeal that decision. Abrego García’s lawyers said if the U.S. government had wanted to overturn the judge’s ruling, they could have sought to reopen immigration court proceedings, and they did not.

Before he was apprehended, Abrego García worked as a sheet metal apprentice while studying for his journeyman’s license at the University of Maryland. …”

——
This part of the story keeps getting lost — back in 2019, a Trump-appointed immigration judge was convinced that Abrego Garcia and his family fled El Salvador to escape gang threats and, in particular, the gang’s (not MS-13) attempt to force them 16-year-old Abrego Garcia to join their gang, which had been a common practice for years in El Salvador.

Meanwhile, Bukele is very popular in El Salvador because his brutal state tactics (and working with top gang members to bring them into government graft as more profitable to running gangs) has restored basic safety to ordinary citizens. Kids are able to go to school again without fear of being kidnapped there and forced into service to the local gang. But the gangsters are still very much part of controlling the country, just in a more concentrated number in a more controlled/authoritarian structure under the lead of a self described “cool dictator”.

As I posted previously, at least some of the Salvadorans who were shipped to Cecot were at Bukele’s request, including an extremely high value MS-13 range member who was in DOJ custody and part of a major criminal case against the gang in the United States. The U.S. dropped all charges against him before sending him to Bukele … whether Bukele and his gang lord henchmen intend to have him released or murdered is anyone’s guess.

Burt returning Abrego Garcia despite knowing their was a court order not to do so because he would likely face gang retaliation in El Salvador feels a lot less like an administrative error than an intentional act when you pull back and look at the broader picture.

Meanwhile, Bukele will get a meeting with Trump in the White House next week …
