U.S. Deports More Detainees to El Salvador, Calling Them ‘Violent Criminals’​

A military plane ferried 17 more people accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador. The White House said it was acting under a different legal authority than the one a judge blocked with a temporary order.

“…
Administration officials said all 17 men, whom they described as gang members, had been deported under regular U.S. immigration law and had final orders of removal. But the administration described the action in similar military terms as the earlier transfers, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Joe Kasper, the Pentagon’s chief of staff, both calling the deportations ”counterterrorism” operations.

Mr. Rubio said in a statement on Monday the U.S. military had transported 17 “violent criminals,” including “murderers and rapists” with gang affiliations, to El Salvador. Mr. Kasper, the Pentagon’s chief of staff, said the deportations were “a successful counterterrorism mission” carried out by the U.S. military in partnership with El Salvador.

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, said in a social media post that the two countries had conducted a “joint military operation” and claimed that all the migrants “are confirmed murderers and high-profile offenders.” The post included a video showing men in restraints being led off a U.S. Air Force plane at night. …”

GIFT LINK 🎁 —> An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison

“… But in Monday’s court filing, attorneys for the government admitted that the Salvadoran man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deported accidentally.

“Although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,” the government told the court.

Trump lawyers said the court has no ability to bring him back now that Abrego Garcia is in Salvadoran custody.

Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, Abrego Garcia’s attorney, said he’s never seen a case in which the government knowingly deported someone who had already received protected legal status from an immigration judge.

He is asking the court to order the Trump administration to ask for Abrego Garcia’s return and, if necessary, to withhold payment to the Salvadoran government, which says it’s charging the United States $6 million a year to jail U.S. deportees.

Trump administration attorneys told the court to dismiss the request on multiple grounds, including that Trump’s “primacy in foreign affairs” outweighs the interests of Abrego Garcia and his family. …”

“… Court filings show Abrego Garcia came to the United States at age 16 in 2011 after fleeing gang threats in his native El Salvador. In 2019 he received a form of protected legal status known as “withholding of removal” from a U.S. immigration judge who found he would likely be targeted by gangs if deported back.

… Abrego Garcia, who is married to a U.S. citizen and has a 5-year-old disabled child who is also a U.S. citizen, has no criminal record in the United States, according to his attorney.

The Trump administration does not claim he has a criminal record, but called him a “danger to the community” and an active member of MS-13, the Salvadoran gang that Trump has declared a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Sandoval-Moshenberg said those charges are false, and the gang label stems from a 2019 incident when Abrego Garcia and three other men were detained in a Home Depot parking lot by a police detective in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

During questioning, one of the men told officers Abrego Garcia was a gang member, but the man offered no proof and police said they didn’t believe him, filings show. Police did not identify him as a gang member.

Abrego Garcia was not charged with a crime, but he was handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the arrest to face deportation.

In those proceedings, the government claimed that a reliable informant had identified him as a ranking member of MS-13. Abrego Garcia and his family hired an attorney and fought the government’s attempt to deport him.

He received “withholding of removal” six months later, a protected status. …”
 
“…
Abrego Garcia has had no contact with any law enforcement agency since his release, according to his attorney. He works full time as a union sheetmetal apprentice, has complied with requirements to check in annually with ICE, and cares for his five-year-old son, who has autism and a hearing defect, and is unable to communicate verbally.

On March 12 Abrego Garcia had picked up his son after work from the boy’s grandmother’s house when ICE officers stopped the car, saying his protected status had changed. Officers waited for Abrego Garcia’s wife to come to the scene and take care of the boy, then drove him away in handcuffs.

Within two days he had been transferred to an ICE staging facility in Texas, along with other detainees the government was preparing to send to El Salvador. Trump had invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, and the government planned to deport two planeloads of Venezuelans along with a separate group of Salvadorans.

… His wife spotted her husband in news photographs released by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on the morning of March 16, after a U.S. District Judge had told the Trump administration to halt the flights.

“Oopsie,” Bukele wrote on social media, taunting the judge.

Abrego Garcia’s wife recognized her husband’s decorative arm tattoo and scars, according to the court filing. The image showed Salvadoran guards in black ski masks frog-marching him into the prison, with his head shoved down toward the floor.

… If the government wants to deport someone with protected status, the standard course would be to reopen the case and introduce new evidence arguing for deportation.

The deportation of a protected status holder has even stunned some government attorneys I’ve been in touch with who are tracking the case, who declined to be named because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press. “What. The. Fuck,” one texted me.

… The Monday court filing by the government indicates officials knew Abrego Garcia had legal protections shielding him from deportation to El Salvador.

… The flight manifest “did not indicate that Abrego-Garcia should not be removed,’’ the attorneys said. “Through administrative error, Abrego-Garcia was removed from the United States to El Salvador. This was an oversight.” But despite this, they told the court that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was carried out ‘’in good faith.’’ “
 
Bukele apparently had some specific Salvadorans he wanted Trump to deport. Don’t know if Abrego Garcia was one of them, but an actual MS-13 member was:

“… Not only did Trump deport Venezuelans who were likely completely innocent, but also a specific MS-13 member who is emblematic of alleged corruption at the highest ranks of the Salvadoran government: a man called “Greñas.”

The importance of Greñas, whose legal name is Cesar Humberto Lopez-Larios, lies in what he knows. According to a federal indictment, as a leader of MS-13, Greñas was involved in secret negotiations between the gang and Bukele’s government, aimed at lowering gang violence in exchange for political support. Bukele denies the negotiations ever took place, but has long sought to get ahold of high-ranking members of MS-13 who participated, working to keep such figures out of the hands of the United States before they can have their day in open court. The Bukele government has also resisted extraditing a number of MS-13 leaders requested by the U.S.

Had Greñas’s case gone forward in the U.S., the sordid links between Bukele and the gang he is famous for warring against may have been aired publicly. Instead, federal charges were dismissed four days before his expulsion due to “sensitive and important foreign policy considerations,” according to a recently unsealed Justice Department document. The Justice Department initially requested the document be sealed because its release “could cause harm to the government’s relationship” with El Salvador.

“These arrangements were the result of intensive and delicate negotiations between the United States and El Salvador,” a Justice Department attorney told a federal judge two weeks ago. …”

‘Historical loss’: Alleged gang leader evades US justice with deportation to El Salvador | CNN Politics

As part of the deportation flights of alleged terrorists at the center of a legal and political storm, the US quietly dropped charges against a key alleged MS-13 leader and returned him to the pro-Trump leader of El Salvador.

“
As part of the deportation flights of alleged terrorists at the center of a legal and political storm, the US quietly dropped charges against a key alleged MS-13 leader and returned him to the pro-Trump leader of El Salvador.

César Humberto López-Larios, an alleged top leader of the MS-13 gang who US investigators believe has information that could implicate top Salvadoran government officials in possibly corrupt deals with the violent gang, was deported on one of the controversial flights, according to current and former US officials and court documents.

It’s a deal that would benefit President Nayib Bukele, the brash Salvadoran leader who has become a star among pro-Trump US conservatives.

… But bringing MS-13 leaders to face charges in the US has been a top priority for the Justice Department, and the transfer is a major loss of potential intelligence for investigators who helped track down López-Larios for his arrest in Mexico last year, current and former officials say.

“It’s a historical loss,” says a former federal agent who spent years working on MS-13 and other gang cases. “He was a potential high-level source. And he doesn’t get to face US justice.”

López-Larios was arrested last year and charged by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn with directing the transnational gang’s activities in the US, El Salvador, Mexico, and other countries. …”

El Salvador’s President Sees Opportunity in Trump’s Deportations

President Nayib Bukele’s role in the Trump administration’s deportation strategy signals a new level of power and global visibility for the young leader.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“… The day after Mr. Rubio’s announcement, the Salvadoran ambassador to Washington, Milena Mayorga, said Mr. Bukele had asked to include MS-13 leaders among those deported to El Salvador, “as a matter of honor.”

“The president [Bukele] was blunt and told Rubio: I want you to send me the gang leaders who are in the United States,” Ms. Mayorga said.

… Under the Biden administration, the Department of Justice accused Mr. Bukele and his administration of secretly negotiating a pact with certain gang leaders: In exchange for helping keep down homicide numbers, Salvadoran officials offered them privileges behind bars, the department said.

Top Salvadoran officials, the Justice Department said, also helped an MS-13 boss escape the country even though the United States had requested his extradition.

In 2021, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions against members of the administration for doling out favors to gang leaders. Mr. Bukele and members of his administration were named in U.S. indictments of MS-13 leaders.

Mr. Bukele has denied making a deal with gang leaders.

Though his popularity has soared, some analysts say the Salvadoran leader may be fearful of losing his grip on power if his alleged collaboration with gang leaders were to fully come to light. …”
 
So, the Trump Administration:

(1) dropped charges against a top MS-13 gang member in custody before he could testify in U.S. Court in a way prosecutors thought would be politically bad for Bukele and sent him to Bukele’s custody,

And

(2) “accidentally” also deported to Bukele’s custody a man they new was under a court ordered protection from deportation to El Salvador because he convinced a U.S. judge he would face violent retaliation from Salvadoran gangs if he returned there.

Knowing what is likely to happen to this man in the El Salvadoran prison, the administration’s action can only be described as “evil.”
You Trump voters used to get off easy knowing you merely voted for an idiot clown that was trashing our economy.

Trump voters are good with a random person getting wrongly imprisoned and maybe raped or killed while in prison……especially if said person is brown and/or an immigrant.
