This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court.
But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long.
Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

His lawyers got an emergency order from a federal judge that he not be removed from Vermont or the U.S.
U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Becca Balint condemned Mahdawi’s detention as “Immoral, inhumane, and illegal."
State Sen. White was shocked to have her friend "abducted."

News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21.
AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.
