I went to xitter to see if this is indeed real (I don’t know how reliable xcancel.com is). Didn’t even find that tweet, because I stopped first at a picture of Trump holding up a photo that was supposed to show Abrego Garcia has MS-13 tattooed on his hand, and the picture was instead 4 symbols that were being “interpreted” to mean MS-13. That’s the kind of bullshit you expect from Flat Earthers and ancient alien conspiracists, not the goddamned White House.
Sad!
Am I the only one concerned that the senator didn’t forcibly bring him home? I feel like a US Marshall or three should have accompanied Mr. Garcia and the senator out the front door and onto the jet all the cons are complaining about.
No… I was shocked to hear he was alive, but ffs, being him back!
Senators don’t have that kind of power. The constitution’s fatal flaw is that it designates the legislative branch to make the laws and the judicial to interpret them, but left both reliant on the executive branch the enforce them. He could certainly try to bring Garcia back but without the executive branch on his side he’d likely get stuck there himself.
You misunderstand; getting stuck there is exactly what the senator should have done if they wouldn’t let him take Mr. Garcia.
This is a falsely accused, illegally deported human stuck in an El Salvadorian mega-prison. Mr. Garcia is incredibly lucky to be alive at all. Can you imagine being in that scenario, meeting with your US state senator, then being lead back into lock-up‽ They had zero justification for sending him there, zero justification to hold him there, and zero justification to keep him one second longer.
What was the point of Van Hollen flying down there personally if not to bring him home? Leaving Mr. Garcia behind is tacit approval for disregarding due process.
