In an appearance with President Trump, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador said that the question of returning a Maryland man deported in error was “preposterous.”

Any U.S. Citizen can now be detained and removed to another nation without Due Process. Welcome to the Trump Dictatorship.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was taken into custody in Maryland and removed to a maximum security prison in El Salvador without any opportunity to plead his case in court. When lawyers went to court to seek justice for this outrage, the government claimed that Garcia’s removal was the result of an “administrative error.” That was false, as was made clear when DOJ Attorney Erez Reuveni bravely admitted in court that he had not been able to find out why Garcia had been seized (his candor resulted in his removal from the case).

The Court found that the government’s claims, made in pleadings and publigcly, that Garcia was a convicted felon and that he was a member of a terrorist organization were lies (of course, the court used more polite language that meant the same thing). The Court ordered Garcia returned.

The government appealed. The Supreme Court upheld the order. Now, like a child who goes to their mother to ask that she tell him he can’t go out to play so he can tell his friends his mom won’t let him, the President has appeared with the President of El Salvador who states the returning Garcia is preposterous. PREPOSTEROUS. Returning a person who was lawfully in the United States who is not charged with any crime in El Salvador is preposterous.

I know, I can go on and on.

But here is the upshot: the emis.

If a person lawfully in the United States can be picked up and removed from the country and placed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world, no one is safe from our government, and no court can stop it; we have finally arrived at a dictatorship. Full stop.
