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.
Really? You think the courts will do something? You allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power who has 34 felony convictions on record and has never spent one second in prison.
Someone should go to prison…You’re joking right?
They allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power a couple of months after the courts decided that presidents should have dictator powers and the full plans for what they’re doing now called project 2025 was doing the rounds.
I truly feel bad for the good and decent people that were born into a country of fucking sociopath illiterate inbred clowns but Donald Trump’s ‘approval’ rating has never even gone below 40%. In fact just last night I saw an article saying that his approval rating has actually rebounded a little bit.
I used to love Americans. There’s still a few that I think are pretty cool. But this whole thing has changed my opinion of them in general. In a not at all good way. I think I despair more about the otherwise decent seeming people who claim they voted for the price of eggs or some shit than I do about the stereotypical ‘Murica’ people that worship Trump like Jesus. My image of the USA was betrayed the most by those people.
I can admit I haven’t been the biggest fan of americans since Bush Jr. I stopped travelling to and even buying a lot of American products then and never restarted. That was the beginning of the end for me. I was in my 20’s now I’m in my 50’s. It’s been a quick slide downhill ever since. When citizens were being attacked for opposing a violent incursion into a country for no reason other than to placate a president and his wealthy cronies, that was enough to see the direction they chose. Openly, without shame and even aggressively pushing their opinion down the throat of not just their own citizens but the world.
Bush Jr was the speed run for trialing dictatorship in the US in modern times. He was a great trial run and very effective at advancing the message.
I like Americans individually. When they start to group up, then the political, geographical, belief lines appear and the jingoism destroys everything.
Whether the courts will or won’t do something is irrelevant to the fact that Trump and probably most of his administration should be in prison.
