The fascinating thing here is that the government's lawyer, the one supposed to argue against this guy's return, appears to have sided against the government.

"Give us 24 hours to get him back, Reuveni said. "That was my recommendation to my client but that hasn't happened"

Trump administration needs to be held accountable and serve time for negligence.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Literally.

That guy should come home with a fucking purple heart equivalent or something. Should be retired. Every person who failed to act should be held criminally liable to the absolute highest letter of every state law for every state they passed through and were processed (or not processed).

Dozens of people should spend time in jail for this mistake. An example must be set.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup if doctors and lawyers can be held accountable for malpractice, negligence, so should politicians and their administration. They are ruining people lives and treating it like a game.

[–] dzso@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

We can't even hold the president accountable to follow the law and the constitution.

Hasn't the US claimed they have no authority to do so? Last I saw, the Trump admin was claiming it's up to El Salvador to return them.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's what they're claiming, but we all know that's bullshit. If President Trump called up the president of El Salvador and demanded that they return the guy, it would happen. The judge knows this, which is why he ordered the return. Now we get to find out what, if anything, might happen if the government flouts the order.

El Salvador President: "I've been trying to call YOU about this screw up!"

Just like before with Trudeau. "Dude, pick up your phone!"

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So the argument is ICE can send people there, but we have no authority to retrieve people!? This is getting into crimes against humanity areas.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

We can kill them, but we can't bring them back from the dead.

Sorry we couldn't process your claim earlier 🤷.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 11 points 2 days ago

No that's what the headlines were claiming. Trump was claiming that the judges couldn't make him did it.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The problem isn't getting him back. The problem for the administration is what he says if and when he gets back.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I see what you mean, but I don't know that it'll change any opinions. After all, he's been clearly defined as one of the "undesirables", so Magats will still find a way to dismiss his story.

But, still, every bit of momentum against Trump helps, I suppose.

[–] hypna@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Most Americans are not MAGA. If this guy gets back to a US court, and he can deliver testimony about what Trump's DHS is doing, and what things are really like in this Salvadoran gulag, that's the kind of primetime drama that gets people's attention.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

Oh, all I meant is that those of us who still have working braincells are likely to already have a very dim view of this entire situation. Like preaching to the choir, you know?

But, I'm not saying it's not worth it. Obviously, he should be freed and treated like the human he is; and if he does go on the record, more power to him!

Just...the whole damn thing stinks. That's all.

[–] sporkler@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Maybe penalize ICE as well, so they have an incentive to stop. Maybe start throwing the guys who pull masks over their faces so they can kidnap people in prison for kidnapping?

[–] carrion0409@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago

We'll see if they actually do it

"Or what? blows raspberry"

Official act.

And for everyone who helped me out, pardon.
