Not that it should be a surprise, but people are getting lost in the shuffle..

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Panamanian national, was mistakenly deported by U.S. immigration authorities despite a court order that should have prevented his removal. During a recent court hearing, Department of Justice officials were unable to confirm his current location, raising serious concerns about accountability and transparency within the immigration system. The case has sparked outrage among advocates and legal experts, who argue that such errors undermine trust in the judicial process and highlight systemic flaws in immigration enforcement.

The incident has prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Garcia’s deportation and the apparent communication breakdown between agencies. Legal representatives are demanding immediate action to locate Garcia and ensure his safe return to the U.S. This case underscores the need for robust safeguards to prevent similar occurrences and to uphold the integrity of the immigration system.

Abrego Garcia allegedly has two pieces of paper from immigration court. Paper #1 (allegedly) is a final removal order, and it says he can be deported. Paper #2 is a withholding of removal order, and it says he can't be deported to El Salvador.

Why do I keep saying "allegedly"? Because in the current court case, the government was unable to produce paper #1 in court. So Judge Xinis made her decision on the basis that there was no legal authority to remove Abrego Garcia to anywhere. However, the record seems to indicate that paper #1 really does exist, even if the chucklefucks can't find it.

Why am I saying this here? Given the amount of utter stupidity with which this operation has been carried out, I think it may be reasonable that there may have been a legit mix-up between the two papers somewhere along the line. I have no evidence one way or the other.

was there something special about him? seems like at a minimum you send actual criminals, and i know they are morons, but still was it truely just inny minny miney moe? Or was there something specifically about his and others on that flight that could show even more malevolence than incompetence?

No, I don't think there is anything very special or unique about Abrego Garcia.

My theory is that someone ran a slapdash database search for unexecuted removal orders to El Salvador, to fill out a quota for the stunt.
