    I had the same thought, this is so peak lib.

    You’re there with the guy, and you have a court ruling saying facilitate his return. Do that, by cuffing him to yourself, and demanding they let you both walk away. El Salvador don’t want heat from abducting a US statesman.

    But no, this is just a photo op it seems.

      Right, you the hero would cuff yourself to Garcia. Then the guards would simply stop you (possibly before you’d even manage to do it), unlock or cut the handcuffs if needed, forbid you from entering the country ever again if not outright prosecute you, and possibly put Garcia under even stricter control and isolation, to, you know, prevent having people try to get him out.

      Because realistically considering the consequences is… liberal.

        You know Trump would absolutely tell the El Salvadorans to keep him out of spite. He’d have been fucked.

      You are right. Please pm me your name and address and if you are ever deported to a torture camp in a foreign country I will let all senators know that you don’t want them to visit and will only accept help that meets lemmy.ml fever dream standards.
