To me the worst part of the first #Trump presidency was when they kidnapped children from their families and put them in cages in an abandoned Walmart. It only took this administration two months to get to the same level of stomach-churning evil with this salvadoran death camp.

Continued thread

The #DOJ hasn’t provided any new information on #KilmarAbregoGarcia.

Abrego Garcia's lawyers say there's no evidence the Trump administration has done anything to comply with the court’s order to facilitate his return from El Salvador. They want depositions, interrogatories & documents.

#XINIS: Every day Abrego Garcia is in #CECOT is "a day of further irreparable harm."

The Bulwark · Bring. Him. Home.By Jonathan V. Last

So, Abrego Garcia is dead right? That's why the administration is playing this game of acting like their hands are tied, denying any complicity in his continued detainment, etc? If he's dead, they just stonewall and stonewall and stonewall until people get tired enough to move on to the next horrible atrocity.

I hate to say it, for fear I'll make it real, but this is where my head is at right now.

@Yehuda

“The moment a Trump agent wrote to a federal court in Maryland that “the United States does not have control over Abrego Garcia or the nation of El Salvador,” it was confirming that it had sold Garcia to El Salvador for financial considerations and that the man was now, in every respect, the property of El Salvador—even as the United States, in the form of the second …”

When you are put in prison in El Salvador, you do not have rights for people to visit you, almost no right to even get a lawyer.
The only person, you can get permission to get into #CECOT is President Bukele. Any journalist who goes has these mixed feelings, because they know that they are being used by the Bukele administration to put images out there that put fear in a lot of people.

Democracy Now!María Hinojosa: el “dictador” de El Salvador es un actor clave en la desaparición de migrantes como Kilmar Abrego GarcíaEste lunes 14 de abril, el presidente salvadoreño, Nayib Bukele, se reunió con el presidente Donald Trump en la Casa Blanca, como parte de una creciente alianza entre ambos líderes de derecha. En los últimos meses, cientos de personas han sido expulsadas de Estados Unidos por el Gobierno de Trump, sin el debido proceso, y encarceladas en El Salvador, en la brutal megaprisión conocida como CECOT. Uno de esos hombres es Kilmar Abrego García, residente de Maryland, a quien el Gobierno de Trump deportó a pesar de existir una orden de protección que impedía su expulsión del país. Hasta ahora, el Gobierno de Trump se ha negado a devolver a Abrego García a su casa, aun cuando un fallo unánime de la Corte Suprema le ordenó “facilitar” su regreso. Bukele, quien se ha autodenominado “el dictador más cool del mundo”, ha impuesto hace años el estado de excepción en El Salvador, en el marco del cual ha encarcelado a decenas de miles de personas sin mediar proceso judicial, como parte de una supuesta guerra contra los grupos criminales. “Nunca imaginé que estaríamos en una situación en la que el Gobierno de Trump, de Estados Unidos, mira a El Salvador, al Gobierno de Bukele, y dice: 'Uh, nos gusta lo que estás haciendo'”, señala la periodista ganadora del Premio Pulitzer María Hinojosa, quien acaba de regresar de un viaje periodístico a El Salvador.

CECOT
El Salvador prison
'some people have described CECOT as basically a black hole. Is that accurate?
I think it is a good description. No one can enter this prison. Relatives of the prisoners cannot visit them. They are not allowed to receive anything from outside. According to President Bukele, they don’t see the light of the sun ever.'..MotherJones ..

The #ConstitutionalCrisis Is Here

#SCOTUS told the #Trump admin to “facilitate” the return of #KilmarAbregoGarcia from #ElSalvador’s infamous #CECOT prison. So far, the admin is pretending to comply while refusing to do so.

By Adam Serwer

“This matter is no longer just about deportations or undocumented immigrants. The Trump administration's defiance of a Supreme Court order is a new step into presidential lawlessness.”
