The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.
Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.
A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.
Cuz he’s dead, you murderous fuckers.
Daily reminder that he wasn’t deported, because deportation is a process and they skipped the process and sent him straight to a death camp
a forceful eviction.
Daily reminder that the admin is in its second possible violation of a court order, with the first one being already confirmed as contempt by judge Boasberg and in which he’s seeking criminal contempt.
It’s his third month in office.
Daily reminder that the USA is literally falling to a dictatorship no different than any of the other dictator-led nations around the world like Chad, Sudan, North Korea, Burma, Iran, Pakistan, Laos and so many others.
What? You can’t relate because they’re not white? Get it together people, skin color has been a distraction since the dawn of human migration, if you’re still compartmentalizing nations and people’s by how they look, you’re going to all lose all your happy comforts and shiny toys.
Of course not - the U.S. is run by a dictator who is being run by a foreign dictator.
Republicans all do what putin tells them to do - else no more money.
That man is already dead.
Hard to live anywhere when you’re dead in this mound
His lawyers can try to split hairs about “facilitate” vs. “effectuate” but saying he will never come back to the US after being ordered to try to get him back to the US seems like the most obvious violation possible of a 9 - 0 supreme court decision. If republicans were honest, trump could be removed from office by Saturday morning. What would there be to even investigate?
Jesus, can we at least get some proof of life for this guy?!?! Like at least?!

Somehow, he’s alive.
Holy shit! Like right after I saw this I saw the picture wirh Van Hollen and him that was posted like an hour ago! I’m so grateful that I’m wrong!!! Now fucking bring him home!
Oh yeah. Very dead. Although my guess is he got murdered in the prison within a couple days or even hours. Probably the moment they went from “administration error” to “that guy was obviously in a gang”.
Worst case scenario is the ‘prison’ is nothing but a death camp and they’re killing everybody.
it makes them look bad amongst thier constituents if he is returned. currently, van holmer met with him, its all optics.
Because he is dead
And that’s not the bad part. The really bad part is how FAST they can “off” an innocent U.S. citizen. This is the first one, they’re gonna get faster.
Never let your kidnapper take you to a secondary location.
“this is the first one…” that we know of
Most likely the correct answer.
Excuse me, I believe you’ve dropped your modernized quality precision firearm. here you go:
Fucking monsters.
Well, someone either needs to go to prison or we’re cooked as a country.
A lot of people will. People this Administration doesn’t like.
Which, to be clear, is a very bad thing that I’m not defending.
Really? You think the courts will do something? You allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power who has 34 felony convictions on record and has never spent one second in prison.
Someone should go to prison…You’re joking right?
Whether the courts will or won’t do something is irrelevant to the fact that Trump and probably most of his administration should be in prison.
They allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power a couple of months after the courts decided that presidents should have dictator powers and the full plans for what they’re doing now called project 2025 was doing the rounds.
I truly feel bad for the good and decent people that were born into a country of fucking sociopath illiterate inbred clowns but Donald Trump’s ‘approval’ rating has never even gone below 40%. In fact just last night I saw an article saying that his approval rating has actually rebounded a little bit.
I used to love Americans. There’s still a few that I think are pretty cool. But this whole thing has changed my opinion of them in general. In a not at all good way. I think I despair more about the otherwise decent seeming people who claim they voted for the price of eggs or some shit than I do about the stereotypical ‘Murica’ people that worship Trump like Jesus. My image of the USA was betrayed the most by those people.
I like Americans individually. When they start to group up, then the political, geographical, belief lines appear and the jingoism destroys everything.
I can admit I haven’t been the biggest fan of americans since Bush Jr. I stopped travelling to and even buying a lot of American products then and never restarted. That was the beginning of the end for me. I was in my 20’s now I’m in my 50’s. It’s been a quick slide downhill ever since. When citizens were being attacked for opposing a violent incursion into a country for no reason other than to placate a president and his wealthy cronies, that was enough to see the direction they chose. Openly, without shame and even aggressively pushing their opinion down the throat of not just their own citizens but the world.
Bush Jr was the speed run for trialing dictatorship in the US in modern times. He was a great trial run and very effective at advancing the message.
Aaaand which one do you think it is?
America has been lost for a while, Trump is just not smart enough to keep it together.
Krasnov is not there to “keep it together.”
Got to admit, he’s accomplished a shit ton in his first 100 days already, way more than basically any president in history.
He’s doing a fantastic job of destroying the country in every single way simultaneously. Not just destroying the democracy directly, but all American influence and soft power worldwide. He has already managed to do more damage to America than any terrorist attacks ever could have imagined, in record time.

There’s an argument that the war on terror gave rise to Trump, so in a way Bin Laden gets to claim this.
Nah, Bin Laden couldn’t do this. He didn’t own media empires or any kind of business in America. The likes of Thiel, Musk, Trump, DeSantis, and so forth are the true architects of America’s death. They are the embodiment of the saying…
“Better to rule over hell, than to serve in heaven.”
If he could he would probably be laughing real hard right now, at the very least.
Both of the global powers he fought during his lifetime are extremely busy at destroying themselves at an accelerated speed.
Meanwhile everyone else suffers.
Who do you think gave rise to Bin Laden? It all goes back to the US government’s inability to govern
- USA is the world’s only superpower, and puts military bases around the world
- Saudi Arabia is one of the countries with military bases
- A Saudi man is angry with US military bases in his country
- That Saudi man executes a plan to crash airplanes into American skyscrapers
- USA invokes NATO’s article 5, the one and only time it has ever been invoked
I’m not sure that the famous US military is keeping Americans safe. Crazy as it may be, sometimes a big military makes you a target.
His handlers and controllers had 4 years (or 10+) to plan for this. He’s just the meat puppet in front of the camera signing all the orders.
See, that’s very true… but he clearly is doing some shit on his own. The tariffs serve no useful purpose, not for political gain, or for the billionaires, it is actually bad for them. They’re stuck trying to ride the wild and unplanned market volatility from the inconsistencies and rollbacks.
If anything, it seems like that’s the shiny thing they’re letting him focus on so he doesn’t do other stupid shit that gets in the way of the actual plans.
I imagine the stuff he’s doing on his own are the more whacky things like shower head pressure
Trump has never been the true threat, it’s the billionaires.
What the fuck do you think trump is?
A useful puppet, that can’t be entirely controlled like Reagan, but is mostly getting the oligarch’s desires achieved.
He’s absolutely dangerous, but he’s not the true threat.
Not a billionaire, that’s for sure. Him being so sensitive about it and never wanting to appear less than that, proves it, and it’s been the case for decades.
He definitely wasn’t in term 1, but all the grifts and that stupid meme coin likely put him over the threshold.
That assumes he didn’t need all that to pay back Russian debts immediately.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 20 years from now we find out that Trump money directly funded the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine.
No I assure you he is. Trump is a fascist dictator; he’s a true threat in the same way Hitler was a true threat.
Yes… I said he was a threat.
But the people who a richer than him, and fund all of this Right Wing Media, and put him in power are worse.
I’m done with this.
You’re not seeing it. This man will put the oligarchs in concentration camps if they piss him off. The power dynamic completely changed after Jan 20th; now he is in charge and they are his lackies.
I don’t think it’s in his interest to do any of that. He does not control the machinery that influences public opinion and he doesn’t have money like the richest people in the world have money.
You’re not completely wrong, but I think he still needs at least most of them. They help inform him of strategy via data harvesting and the means of selling it to his supporters, trump does not have the ability to do that all on his own.
Someone did go to prison, and we are cooked as a country. :(
Go exercise your constitutional right against a tyrannical government. That’s why it’s a thing!
But like… Organize first.
Otherwise you’re just a crazed lone gunman dead in the street.
Wtf is happening
Concentration camps
Staffed by fascists.
You’ve installed a dictator and given him the ability to ignore the courts without repercussions and do whatever he pleases with you and your fellow citizens. And he is.
Oh, so we DO care about protective orders for women who have been abused??? I thought we weren’t supposed to care about that when it comes to people, even if they’re POTUS.
