El Salvador declines to return Garcia
-
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.

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

Is that the same judge who found that he was a member of MS-13?

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.

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.

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)
-
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.

Seems crazy - but yeah, should bring him back - follow due process - and likely, he'll be deported. It may seem more efficient to just leave him there - but the process should be followed. The problem is that respective media will blur whatever happens to fit a narrative.

The visual of having a Maryland mother from Van Hollen’s district whose daughter was raped and killed by an illegal visiting the WH and being hugged by Trump while Van Hollen was in El Salvador advocating for the return and release of an MS-13 member was particularly powerful.

Exactly. Defying the court by having the El Salvadorian president say no does not work for me.

Again, the El Salvadore president declining to spike the political volleyball over the American border is not the operative decision here. The operative decision is America failing to "facilitate the transfer".
