"During that time in El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was TORTURED."
For weeks, Trump officials have refused to send him to Costa Rica even though he said he'd accept that. The ruling savagely details extensive misconduct here.
We all know what happened: Trump/Miller decided sending him there wouldn't be sufficiently dehumanizing. 3/

It’s really atrocious how they threw the full force of the federal government at this one guy because he embarrassed them by being innocent of everything except trying to live his life.

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

One of Trump’s most consistent traits—right up there with racism and greed—is his admiration for dictators. He “fell in love” with Kim, defends MBS for murder, and praises Orbán and Putin at every turn. Yet when he claims to oppose Maduro on humanitarian grounds, the press politely plays along.
