For one thing two judges and police officers stated he belonged to MS-13,, and we know his criminal history, and are even discussing it.
What criminal history Markk? The restraining order was civil. Decisions by immigration judges in deportation or removal proceedings are considered civil rather than criminal. So the allegations and determinations there were not "criminal", they seem like testimony, and questionable at that.

So what criminal history does this man have? A judge ruled a withholding of removal status, so he wasn't here "illegally" per se.

What criminal activity has this man been found guilty of so that he should be incarcerated in El Salvador? Where did that pesky 8th amendment go? We keep losing it in this discussion about that troublesome 5th....

How should we treat the heartless murdering criminals that sexually exploit young girls and women, murder, kidnap, and rape folks?
Imagine if a youth started out in a gang, became wise to that behavior, and tried to escape membership by exiting to the US?

I guess that you’d just look at any tattoos left behind as being what would decide his fate, due process be damned.

With the same due process rights, and rights to not be subject to cruel and unusual punishment we afford everyone?

That we are even having discussions where y'all think denying 5th amendment due process, and skirting around the 8th amendment by offloading these people to a hellhole in another country.... frankly just boggles my mind.

While a domestic violence conviction could warrant deportation, my understanding is that the guy wasn't convicted and mere gang affiliation is not enough either, without actual bad acts that are considered criminal.

I think it's up your a$$, but I could be mistaken. Lol

Anyway, wish me luck. I'm at a bar in Las Vegas waiting on a beautiful cocktail waitress for drinks and dinner. Fingers crossed.

Well after that comment, no. I won't wish you luck.

Ah why not. Good luck.

We're PAYING El Salvador to hold Mr. Garcia? :o
Of course we are. Do you think El Salvador would feed and house him for free, out of the kindness of their hearts or something?

. . . and we're the tax paying suckers who are paying for this miscarriage of justice.
Umm, yeah. That's, uh, the way it's always been. Why are you so surprised all of a sudden?

Surprised? Because I just discovered it shortly before I posted about it. I don't claim to know everything about everything. I'm learning. Stop acting like an obnoxious know it all, Shades. It contributes exactly nothing to no one.

Ikner was just draughting on the terror of the Trump administration, which shows just as little regard for humanity as he did when he shot up FSU.
What do you mean by "draughting" in this context?

Here in the US we take convicted criminals, those who sexually exploit women, and rapists and elect them President of the country.
