Trump asks US Supreme Court to block order to return deported man (www.bbc.com)

The government has said Mr Garcia was deported on 15 March due to an "administrative error", although they also maintain he is a member of the MS-13 gang, which his family denies.

In their emergency appeal to America's highest court, the administration argued the Maryland judge lacked authority to issue the order and that US officials cannot compel El Salvador to return Mr Garcia.

If it's not evil to try and keep a man in a death camp, even after you admit you sent him there by mistake, then what is evil?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

To send anyone to those death camps is pretty evil, but yes, I agree with you.

If they win this argument in the Supreme Court they can ship whoever they want outside the borders of the US and that's it, you have no recourse.

No legal recourse, but we still have options that may or may not hypothetically involve the use of the 2nd amendment.

This is going to be the test of Trump and Co's power. We will be in some crazy dictatorship with judicial backing. At that point i doubt Congress will do anything to stop this.

No official recourse. Let's see if anyone gets creative.

And now, the stacked Supreme Court will start blocking all other court orders based on trumps request. Here we go…

I saw someone else mention it on another thread but he's probably already dead. That's why they can't bring him back and why they are tying to make sure they don't ask for him back.

You're probably right. I really do hate this timeline for our country.

[–] scintilla@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

If the supreme court doesn't force the executive to try and get him returned things are going to get even worse too.

I mean unless they invalidate the constitution I'm not seeing what they can do here.

[–] Panamalt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Invalidating and undermining the constitution is literally the point of almost everything the Cunts have done so far. It makes them feel big and powerful while dismissing the rest of us
