  • Looked into this, out of sheer curiosity.

    The guy is literally a Salvadoran citizen. He is technically home. His family came illegally and stayed illegally for 14 years until he got caught by ICE in 2019 in a parking lot of a mall, with other illegals, while looking for under the table work. Some of the other illegals claimed that he had gang connections but that may be unreliable. Only then, he decided to apply for asylum, which legally he could not do, because his family failed to do so within the first year of arriving to the country as per the Law, regarding Asylum seekerdls. So that window closed. That was on them.

    He was given a limited stay ruling by a judge that could be removed at a moments notice under any circumstance. Which orange man's ICE did. But honestly it was simply a matter of time.

    Should he be sent to a jail in El Salvador? There is argument that he shouldn't but he was staying in the US via a slim reason that was based under the belief that gangs in El Salvador would go after him. Why? No idea, since no real proof was ever provided and if he or his family were so concerned over this, they could have tried going the Legal route before. Apparently they were not necessarily poor, either, so this does not look good for their case.

    It was flimpsy reason due to lack of evidence, he is likely not some ex-gang member or even related to someone whose connection could endanger his life. If he was, he would have been dead in the jail, already. Also almost all gangs are in jail in El Salvador, so he may lack legal standing, if he argues the same thing. I find it strange that on the link article it claims that he has gang connections. In previous statements he denied having any.

    Just like Clinton shipped thousands of Salvadoreans back to El Salvador after the civil war ended because they had used the war as the reason to stay in the USA in the first place.

    What should be done is that he should be released from jail but sadly, he had no legal reason to be in the USA. He is not a citizen and he had no legal standing aside a weird, flimpsy exception. He did get a married and has a kid, but he does not have any paperwork to stay and blew a lot of his chances by not acting until he was caught. The other two kids are from his wife's previous relationship(s).

    I know some will say that he is entitled to due process and looking at it, he got it, back in 2019 and all he got was a flimsy court order that could be removed for any reason. He got some lawyers but no real traction was done in the courts. Despite the drama on the news, it seems that he was legally trying to bleed a stone.

    I get the equally flimsy excuse from ICE that he was sent due to a clerical error by them not getting the newer court order in time. That is suspicious, to say the least.

    Looking at the legality of the issue and removing emotional bias aside, I can see why they may want to take it of the Supreme Court. If we go by facts alone, he may be released from prison but may not be able to come back. Like what is the legal standing for an illegal to stay in the USA, when he has no avenue for asylum? Saying that he has a wife and kid, in the real world does not amount to a legal reason. This whole thing is weird, since if he gets released from the jail, over there, then for sure he is not going to be let back into the USA. He is a fairly unique case, the way things happened.

  • Because he can tell us what the first hand experience was really like. The horrors he had seen and the abuse of human rights. It may make trump look bad. Can't have that.
