"The administration is refusing to return Abrego Garcia because it doesn’t want to admit that it can bring him back. Yet it definitely can. The U.S. government routinely arranges for the return of wrongly deported people, and in this case, the administration is actually paying the government of El Salvador to detain him, which implies that El Salvador is acting at its request—a request it could reverse."

They don't want to admit this, because if they bring back this one man, they will have to bring back others. Abrego Garcia is not the only one who can show he was wrongly deported and imprisoned."

They will talk about what happened to them and the brutality of the gulag where we sent them. This will then become one of the top stories in the country."

Als Antwort auf William Lindsey • • •"That’s important for a couple of reasons. One is that Donald Trump is already sinking in the polls, but the one issue still keeping him slightly afloat—believe it or not—is immigration. About half of Americans like that he is supposedly getting tough on immigrants."

Als Antwort auf William Lindsey • • •Sasha Abramsky says the shocking truth we have to learn with the Abrego Garcia case is that America is now one vast Milgram experiment:
"In Trump’s fascist netherworld, there are a shockingly large number of Good Americans, people who seem incapable of rejecting unjust orders or understanding the moral implications of acquiescence in organized cruelty."
