He’s not dead. He’s not entitled to live in America.
Why did the judge say he is entitled to live here?
The judge did not say that. The judge said they couldn’t send him back to El Salvador
The judge ordered his return.
SCOTUS did not. SCOTUS is the final say. Go read what scotus said. They just said he needs to be removed from El Salvador. SCOTUS was clear he doesn’t need to be returned to the United States.
They just said he needs to be removed from El Salvador.
SCOTUS ordered the government to remove him from El Salvador and
ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
That requires his return.
No it doesn’t. It just means they can send him elsewhere. The courts have already said this is true.
The courts haven't even issued a deportation order. The only court order relevant to Garcia is the withholding order in 2019, which should habe kept him in the US. There is no deportation order. He was not deported. He was sent to El Salvador under an illegal use of the Alien Enemies act, not a deportation order.
The courts have not said that he could be sent anywhere else. Attempting to send him anywhere else violates US and International law, as well as human rights. The only place the US can send him is Maryland.
Every day he is not in Maryland, the US government is going to be paying him damages. A lot of damages. He and his family are going to get rich off of this. How much are you going to pay him?
Deportation order was already issued. You keep thinking the order prevented deportation. It doesn’t. It prevents deportation to El Salvador.
Deportation order was already issued.
There was no deportation order.
Not in 2019. Not in 2025. This is factually untrue.
ICE initiated proceedings in 2019, but no deportation order ever arose from those proceedings. The conclusion of those proceedings was the withholding order, not a deportation order.
lol. Yes it did. Many you don’t know the laws at all. You can’t have a withholding order without a deportation order. The two are intertwined.
If they want to deport him to somewhere other than El Salvador, they will have to restart the 2019 proceedings again. They will have to get a fresh order specifying the new country. Which they can't get because it's a human rights violation, and a violation of the 8th Amendment.
There is no order that allows what you are talking about. There is no valid order allowing for him to be taken anywhere but Maryland.
If they want to start proceedings to deport him to some other nation (assuming there is a third nation to which he has some sort of legal ties), they have to start over as if he had never been sent to El Salvador.
They will have to get a fresh order specifying the new country (which they can’t get because it’s a human rights violation).
That is false. If you’d read the court ruling you’d know that’s false. The only issue is that he was sent to El Salvador. As of yet, nobody else has agreed to take him and nobody has asked.
Most likely they’ll return him to the United States and he will stay in prison here or they’ll ship him to gitmo.
If you’d read the court ruling you’d know that’s false.
The court did not rule on that issue. You're not getting that from the court. You're getting that from the Trump administration. Specifically, from Trump's Chief of Staff, misrepresenting the issue to the press.
From chat gpt
Yes, under U.S. immigration law, Kilmar Abrego Garcia could legally be deported to a country other than El Salvador, provided that country agrees to accept him. This is because his “withholding of removal” status specifically prohibits deportation to El Salvador due to the risk of persecution there, but it does not prevent removal to other nations.
However, in Garcia’s case, the U.S. government has not identified any third country willing to accept him, nor has it pursued such an option. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March 2025, despite the legal prohibition against doing so. This action was later acknowledged by the U.S. government as an “administrative error.” 
Following his deportation, Garcia has been detained in El Salvador’s Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), a maximum-security prison. Despite a U.S. Supreme Court order directing the government to facilitate his return, both U.S. and Salvadoran authorities have yet to act on this directive. 
In summary, while it’s legally permissible to deport Garcia to a third country other than El Salvador, such an action would require that country’s agreement to accept him, which has not occurred in this case
SCOTUS returned it to the Maryland courts for clarification after saying that so respectfully maybe it’s you that needs to read what they said.
The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
SCOTUS was pretty clear that he needs to be returned to Maryland. Stop trolling.
I’ll even highlight the section from the ruling.
That’s already been decided. His ass is deported. Try reading the actual ruling from the court. It does say whey you claim at all.
Try reading the actual ruling from the court.
You just (poorly) highlighted the exact text that I quoted, the exact text that requires him to be returned to Maryland.
Go read the order again. Here I’ll highlight the section for you since you haven’t read it.
He's not dead
What makes you believe that?
He's a citizen how can they deny him the right to live in the country?
He is not an American citizen. He’s a citizen of El Salvador.
He still had legal status and a work permit and was deported with no charges or trial. You think the party of "law and order" would take exception to this.
Why would I be upset that he wasn’t charged for a criminal violation when it’s a civil dispute? He’s already seen a judge and was cleared for deportation which is a civil process.
Why would I be upset that he wasn’t charged for a criminal violation
He's in prison.
Did you ever read that part of the constitution that requires due before being deprived of life, liberty or property?
He has not been convicted of any crime, yet he was taken from a country and imprisoned. "Due process" granted him asylum in the US, yet he is now imprisoned in a country where his life is in danger.
If you aren't upset about this, you either aren't paying attention, or you are complicit.
He did not have asylum. He was denied asylum. He had a deportation order.
He had no valid deportation order. He had a valid judgment from 2019 ordering that he not be deported.
This is not disputed by the administration. They admitted in court that they violated the asylum order. You have no legitimate basis to be making that claim.
That is false. He has a deportation order. He just couldn’t be deported to El Salvador. He could be sent anywhere else if they agreed to take him. That’s what is being fought in court.
The reason he can’t be sent to El Salvador is because of his connections to gangs.
There was no deportation order. There was a withholding order: and order prohibiting his deportation.
He could be sent anywhere else if they agreed to take him.
It is a human rights violation, as well as a violation of US and international law, to "deport" someone to a third party nation. What you are describing is completely unlawful for both the US and the hypothetical third-party nation.
There was no deportation order. Deportation is a criminal justice matter and can only be ordered by a judge. Trump invoked the alien enemies act specifically so he could repatriate (not deport) "enemy" aliens without involving the courts. He wants to treat immigrants as enemy combatants; invaders that can be dealt with by the military as combatants or POWs rather than as criminal defendants in court. Here, he fucked up because this person already had a withholding order permitting his presence.
You don’t understand what a withholding order is. It prevents his return to El Salvador. It does not stop a deportation. If a third party agrees to take him; they can send him there.
Illegal immigrants should be deported. Since this man is tied to gangs, he should have been deported years ago
You got me. It's taken me this long to realize you're trolling. Good job.
I’m not trolling. You just don’t understand the law. It’s clearly in the court order. The courts have already determined he’s affiliated with ms-13. That is why he was given an order to prevent his return to El Salvador. If he’s not part of a gang we he’s claiming now then there is no reason not to send him to El Salvador. So either he’s a gang member and needs to be deported elsewhere or he’s not a gang member and he can stay in El Salvador.
We have laws for a reason and those who don’t fallow them should be deported.
You're gonna need to source that one.
Did you actually read that? It states explicitly that the deportation was illegal and the government's excuses are bullshit. It was a 9-0 decision. There's no room for interpretation on this one.
I did. Read the section about if he needs to come back. He doesn’t. They have no obligation to bring him back. They just can’t leave him in El Salvador.
First, they were ordered to process him as they would normally. Second, go back and read my first comment again. They did something illegal, they admitted to doing something illegal, the supreme court ordered them to follow the law, they said "whoops, nah."
And you see no problem with this because...?
He’s already seen a judge and was cleared for deportation which is a civil process.
You literally just proved this wrong yourself. He was deported before this process even began.
That is incorrect. He was already denied asylum and approved for deportation in 2019.
So what are people complaining about then?
He's an asylee. He sought, and was granted, asylum in the US.
He has not been convicted of any crime, yet he is in prison.
Mostly because they’re stupid but the left complaint is that he was sent to El Salvador when the court said he couldn’t be sent there. That is a legit issue and needs to be resolved
