While Trump pretends he can’t ask for anyone he’s sent to come back. They’re disappearing people into a black site.
He can ask for them back, but El Salvador doesn’t have to listen. It’s like when you sell a car, once the title is signed over and you get the money the deal is done. You can always say “that was a mistake, can I have the car back” but the other party can just ignore you.
And yes, it sickens me to be writing about humans like property you can just “transfer the title” for. But it must not have the same effect on Trump, Musk, or Rubio.
He made the deal with Bukele, if he can’t get them back that’s because it’s how he wanted it.
The idea that Art of the Deal can’t get this guy back is absurd, they have the power and ability to do so. They refuse to.
You are right, but in this case the car they just received comes with upkeep costs and no particular benefits. If the US does the effort for getting them back, El Salvador has no real reason to keep them.
“Not interested in dealing with trump’s fuckery” as well as “they handed us the political prisoners who fled our country” and possibly not wanting the political fallout from making deals with a fascist country.
That said it would be amazing if El Salvador took the opportunity to show the world by treating these prisoners better than the US did
“Miguel Sarre, a former member of the United Nations Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture, described CECOT as a “concrete and steel pit” used to “dispose of people without formally applying the death penalty”, citing that the government does not intend to release the prison’s inmates.” –Article on CECOT by BBC Nobody that goes in comes out, there aren’t enough bunks or food for inmates, nobody is allowed to see or speak to the prisoners.
Spoiler: they won’t.
Except there are actually laws in place that let you do exactly that for a car purchase (in non-shithole places)
For cause, maybe. Just because you changed your mind? Absolutely not.
Maybe the judge can’t stop Trump, but they can arrest every person on those flights. People will stop lining up when it means their freedom.
The Nazi regime chose to build most of their concentration camps in nearby compliant/dominated countries as well.
These judges can arrest everyone else, if they don’t then they are feckless and complicit in democracy dieing
Hold every ice agent in contempt
So that means they will imprison everyone involved in this because they went against a judge order right?
Consequences for defying the courts??? No? Ok
So how are these orders being enforced?
