AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>I'm getting sick of saying "yes the Trump regime is unquestionably fascist" because at some point, the evidence that they are a bunch of repugnant nazis is so extensive, you have to be willfully ignorant to keep pretending this is still up for debate; as many big media outlets in the US appear to be doing. This story however, brings us to a point where I feel compelled to point out not only that the Trump regime is definitely fascist, but these assclown nazi pigs are also, objectively speaking, evil. </p><p>As part of its unconstitutional scheme to traffic migrants, without due process, to a slave labor prison in El Salvador in order to wage a made up war against "gangs" and "Venezuela" apparently, Trump's DHS has admitted they "accidentally" deported a Maryland man, Abrego Garcia, who is A) married to a US citizen B) has a five year old disabled child, and C) had a judge's order *not* to deport him to El Salvador. </p><p><a href="https://archive.ph/ZCWiy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/ZCWiy</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Trump Administration Admits Accidentally Deporting Maryland Father to El Salvador Mega Prison</p><p>“Although [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,” the government admitted in response to Abrego Garcia’s complaint.</p><p>The government nevertheless argued in its filing that the court can’t order officials to bring Abrego Garcia home because he’s not in U.S. custody. The Trump administration is paying El Salvador to jail him, but the U.S. can’t force El Salvador to return the jailed men, the government claims.</p><p>It can only “entreat” or “cajole” its “close ally,” according to the filing.</p><p>“They claim that the court is powerless to order any relief,” Abrego Garcia’s attorney, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, told The Atlantic. “If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless—all of them—because the government can deport whoever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want, and no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”</p><p>Holy sweet fuck; let me restate that for clarity. The US govt just admitted, in court, that they unlawfully "deported" a guy who has been working and raising a family peacefully in the US for years while seeking *legal* asylum, despite a judge's order not to, as part of a nazi kabuki theater human trafficking (deportation, requires a hearing before an immigration judge) scheme. Despite this, the regime's lawyers are arguing, simultaneously, that they can't get him back because he's not in US custody, and they aren't obligated to obey a judge's order to return him because US courts don't have jurisdiction over El Salvador. </p><p>Wait, it gets better because the U.S. government is *also* arguing that they shouldn't have to do anything to correct this "mistake" because the man isn't in danger, and "even if Abrego Garcia is being wrongfully imprisoned, he hasn’t suffered irreparable harm." This is despite both the 2019 judge's order granted because Garcia was “more likely than not” to face persecution" in his country of origin (El Salvador), *and* a 2023 US State Dept report that "found credible reports that inmates in El Salvador had been electrocuted, tortured, and beaten to death." Finally it should be mentioned that the regime hasn't offered any legal reason (beyond "oopsie") for why it was trying to deport Garcia in the first place, given that even if Trump's bullshit invocation of the Alien Enemies Act walks in court somehow, Garcia isn't Venezuelan, and the state's own filing calls El Salvador a "close ally" - meaning we're not even at *fake* war with them in the Trump regime's own bubble of unreality. </p><p>Naturally, if the US wasn't being run by maliciously evil fascists, one might expect some degree of contrition; but that's not how the Pork Reich rolls. Vice President JD Vance took to social media to justify the actions his regime's own lawyers just admitted were a "mistake" by spewing fact-free excuses about MS-13 that had to be corrected multiple times because Vance didn't even read the government's own filing. As the article notes, even Vance's lies about gangs made no sense because ICE's previous case against Garcia (from 2019) was based on the testimony of one anonymous source and fell apart when the state couldn't produce anyone to testify; which is why he was still in the country and granted protected status while he sought asylum. </p><p>Folks, this wasn't a mistake; when you purposely ignore all the legal processes designed to prevent "mistakes" like this, we call that criminal negligence. The Trump regime wanted planes full of nonwhite migrants to display like war trophies on prime time TV, and Garcia fit the bill. They didn't care about the law; his skin tone and status as an asylum seeker made him an acceptable target. The cruelty was the point, which is why they don't want to return Garcia even after admitting their "mistake." </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ElSalvador" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElSalvador</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JDVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDVance</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AbregoGarcia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbregoGarcia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Courts</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evil</span></a></p>
