The Trump administration said a Salvadoran man who was mistakenly deported and then brought back to the US on criminal charges will “never go free” on American soil, even though a judge ordered his release.
Kilmar Ábrego García was deported in March as part of an immigration crackdown. Government officials said he was removed in error, but they were unable to bring him back.
Earlier this month, he was sent to the state of Tennessee, where the justice department charged him with human smuggling.
The judge overseeing the case said on Sunday that Mr Ábrego García should be released from custody while he awaits trial. But she noted immigration officials would still have the power to detain him.
That’s not my idea of liberty at all. But you can’t say the ballot box failed, just because the people elected the worst president in the history of people in suits.
Then the ballot box - the second box of liberty - has failed.
What liberty are you talking about? The liberty of approved leaders? It’s a failure because we voted for a bad leader?
We got the leader we voted for. The failure is in the people.
All of the boxes require people.
The soap box (speaking, shaming) failed to secure liberty. The ballot box (elections) failed to secure liberty. The jury box (judicial proceedings) failed to secure liberty.
One box remains.
