    Can they "ask"? The government admits they made a mistake.

      So what is El Salvador's rationale for keeping him?

        If the El Salvador president's words carry any weight, their rationale is in the story in the original post.

          Thin gruel. He's not carrying weight, just water.

            The claim that this guy would be immediately illegal if returned to the US, and that therefore El Salvador would have to smuggle him in, is either factual or non-factual. I don't think it's a matter of opinion, nor a matter of carrying water for Trump. Maybe it's non-factual, but my understanding is that it's factual.

              El Prez is absolutely just doing whatever Trump asks to stay in good favor. This was an illegal immigrant who had no criminal history (and SCOTUS decided 0-9 against Trump...despite their claim of winning 9-0, how funny no one fact checked him on that), and no evidence he was a member of MS-13... in fact, he was ordered by a judge NOT TO BE FORCED BACK TO EL SALVADOR specifically BECAUSE of MS-13 wanting him dead.

              What a weird situation, but I'd have to imagine it results ultimately in this guy coming back to the USA or at least sent to another country. I feel bad for his wife and 3 kids (he married and had kids after an American judge ordered that he is not allowed to be sent back to El Salvador given the threat to his life).

                  You make that sound like the obvious choice would be to smuggle the guy back into America, and he's not making the obvious choice just to ass-lick Trump. I don't think that's a fair framing. He would have to be motivated to make an anti-Trump political point, to spike that guy over the border like a political volleyball. And it is very unclear he would be doing the guy any favors by returning him to the US.

                    Thanks for that link. So it seems that Trump is defying the court order to "facilitate the return of Garcia".

                        Do you mean the wife and 3 kids that had restraining orders on him after he was using her as a punching bag?

                          By the way, @89th , it wasn’t claimed that MS-13 wanted him dead, it was “other” gangs. I highly doubt Garcia would want to wear an MS-13 hoodie and be hanging with MS-13 gang members if they wanted him dead.

                              Sorry yes, it's a rival gang in El Salvador that wants him dead.

                                I'm actually trying to find that ruling, I'm sure it's out there but I haven't found evidence (yet) of a judge finding him a member of MS-13. I do know there is a judge that says (I think?) due to the Prince George PD's claim that he's part of MS-13 that he cannot be deported back there due to the risk to his life.

                                  Yup. Sounds like things settled over the last 4 years as they had more kids together.

                                    I feel bad for his wife and 3 kids (he married and had kids after an American judge ordered that he is not allowed to be sent back to El Salvador given the threat to his life).

                                    Do you mean the wife and 3 kids that had restraining orders on him after he was using her as a punching bag?

                                    Nah, the wife that didn't marry him until after he was arrested.

                                    Was he arrested? Trying to find that. As far as I'm aware, he was never charged or convicted of any crimes.

                                    (BTW if I were a betting man, I'd say he was part of MS-13, and of course here illegally, but Trump's refusal to comply with the court is a much bigger threat than the guy looking for day-labor work outside a home depot)

                                      A simple compromise, for those who wish for him to return...Let him stay in your home until his immigration trial is over.

                                        Yes, he has been arrested, for a fairly innocuous crime of loitering at a Home Depot looking for day labor. During the arrest, he was wearing clothing associated with MS-13 and was arrested with 2 other known members of MS-13. The PG County police reached out to a confidential informant within MS-13 that verified that he was indeed a member and was a low level boss within the group. During the hearing and the follow up deportation hearing, the judge found that he was indeed “likely” to be a member. Remember that in 2019, it wasn’t actually illegal to be a member of MS-13, you actually had to be convicted of committing a crime) and he was there illegally. He was absolutely allowed to be deported. However… The guy gave credible evidence to the judge that he faced reprisals from rival gangs in El Salvador, so he was granted TPS. And a stay from deportation was granted. Since that time, he married, had his wife try to get a PFA and restraining order granted, then rescinded the request (because abuse victims never go back to their abusers, amirite?), had 3 kids that all have severe issues (non-verbal autism, epilepsy, etc…).

                                        This is such a stupid case. Bring the guy back, take it to court and lift the deportation stay, then send him back.

                                          The Trump admin is just happy to be able to message that the Democrats love terrorists and want them in the country. They are not motivated to fix this.

                                          Education is extremely important.
