Trump has done *a lot* of criminal, horrible, impeachable shit.

But, if the Trump administration fails to return Garcia, or if any harm has come to him, it will be hands down the most illegal and deplorable action of any US president.

Let's be clear:

-Garcia, while a minor, fled gang targeting in El Salvador and illegally entered the US.

-While here, he eventually married a US citizen, testified against the Barrio 18 gang (even though it risked him being deported) and attempted asylum claims.

-In 2019, he was granted a "Withholding of Removal" and a work permit and so was living in Maryland legally.

-Whenever you are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, whether legally or illegally, you have inalienable rights - the very ones the President's oath of office claims to uphold and defend.

-Garcia was arrested on suspicion of gang activity, and departed with foreign prisons in El Salvador.

The problem is:

-There was no proof given.
-He had a "Withholding of Removal" which meant he could not be deported.
-The government argued they were aware of this withholding order but that he had been departed "by mistake" without any further hearing in court.

Courts had ordered the planes turnaround, an order which according to a passenger affidavit the pilots were aware of, but they were given instructions to ignore.

A Maryland court ordered him returned by no later than April 7th.

The government failed to return him.

The Supreme Court reviewed the case on April 10th and unanimously ordered that the US government must facilitate Garcia's return.

Since then Trump's administration has continued to play games, making excuses of why he cannot be returned, or failing to give updates - with many speculating that Garcia, who testified against gangs he was now in prison with, may not even be alive any more.

At the direction of the President:

-People subject to US jurisdiction were rounded up and deported without time for habeas hearings.

-Including *legal* US residents, against a judges order, who are subject to all rights and protections within the United States.

-Instructions to return the plane were ignored.

-Instructions from a state court were ignored.

-Now the Supreme Court has been ignored.

And the President who is supposed to be the most powerful man in the world, who has a duty to defend and protect those subject to US jurisdiction from wrong-doing, claims that he can't get this man back from El Salvador.

If any harm has come to Garcia, it is blood on the President's hands.

The protections he has ignored would have led to the direct harm of a US resident.

And it will forever be a stain on America, this shameful president, and on the court of John Roberts who allowed for a tyrant to exercise such authorities so repeatedly unchecked.

Her death was the third measles death in the past few months

And the second in a child

There have been more pediatric deaths from measles in the past 2 months as there have been in the previous 2 decades

This isn't just a coincidence

Measles everywhere

MAHA and RFK Jr want you to talk about anything else

Because they know they and their anti vaccine propaganda are complicit

Sometimes vaccine efficacy is subtle

Sometimes it isn't

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

My child is less than 2 months old and therefore is not vaccinated yet against measles. I cannot believe I have to worry about his vulnerable little body getting it in the year 2025. Being anti-vax is not a personal choice. You drag us all along for the ride.

[Christina @forestofcake]

Had she lived, no one would have ever believed her and treated her as the abuser. The only proof people will accept of your abuse is your dead body.

Fuck it Golfo de Puerto Rico

[The Sassiest Semite @LittleMissLizz]

The rules are extremely strict because the risk of rejection is extremely high. This is not a new policy. You can’t get a heart transplant without your vaccination because the patient will need to be on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their life that make them immunosuppressed. If the patient then gets Covid & dies, then the patient dies & the heart is wasted. This isn’t political.

Resistance, even in small amounts, is important. They count on citizens turning a blind eye to do what they're doing. Disabuse of that notion; make it difficult and uncomfortable for them to do their job.

GET LOUD. YELL. LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY DONT HAVE TO SAY SHIT!

[Goth Ms Frizzle 🧚🏻‍♀️ @g0thgoblin]

That said, if you were born in the US, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE, you need to speak the fuck up.

You have a layer of privilege that protects you from retaliation for being rude or making a scene. That makes it your duty to speak up and make sure everyone knows their rights.
