@AnnieSFW Most telling is that the person who set up the "sting" didn't link to the article, just posted a screenshot. I can't find a reference to this account in anything considered news. Not even Fox has gotten on board.
@AlBuffalo2nite@StephenKing People without legal status are not eligible for federal assistance. If states have rights, as many want to insist, they can chose to support people who contribute to the state's well-being and tax base.
BREAKING: Donald Trump makes the horrifying announcement with El Salvador's far-right president that they will NOT be returning the innocent Maryland father who was accidentally deported to a brutal South American mega prison.
This is full-blown fascism and it gets so much worse...
The Supreme Court has already ruled that the United States must "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man who was falsely accused of being a gang member and deported.
The Trump administration previously admitted in court that he should not have been removed from the United States and blamed it on an "administrative error."
During an appearance in the Oval Office with Trump, El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele was asked if he will be returning Abrego Garcia. He took the opportunity to smear the innocent man—
"Well, I hope you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States," Bukele said. "How can I smuggle— How can I return him to the United States? Like I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. It's like... I mean the question is preposterous."
"How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States," he added.
He was then asked if Abrego Garcia would at least be released to freedom in El Salvador. He doubled down on character assassination.
"I’m not releasing— I mean, we’re not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country," he said. "We just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western hemisphere and you want us to go back? Releasing criminals so that we can go back to being the murder capital of the world?"
"No, that's not going to happen," he added.
"Well, they'd love to have a criminal released into our country. They would love it," interjected Trump.
Trump also tore into CNN's Kaitlan Collins for asking about Abrego Garcia—
"How long do we have to answer this question from you? Why don’t you just say, ‘Isn’t it wonderful that we’re keeping criminals out of our country?’" said Trump.
It should be stressed once again that Abrego Garcia is not a criminal, certainly not a terrorist, and in fact was legally entitled to remain in the United States.
An immigration judge ruled back in 2019 that he could not be deported back to El Salvador because a gang in his native country was "targeting him and threatening him with death because of his family’s pupusa business."
As is always the case with MAGA, the truth doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to Trump that Abrego Garcia, an innocent man, is likely being brutalized in an El Salvadoran prison. It doesn't matter to him that he himself is mutating us into a fully fascist state.
All that matters to him is appearing "strong" to his supporters. He will never admit that he's wrong. We must all stand up and condemn this, or risk losing our country forever.

@Harleydadd @ZacksJerryRig I've been thinking about this. And how horrifying the murders of Palestinians has been. I believe the Harris/Walk administration is listening to concerns and is willing to take action. We need to vote for people who will listen. We need to be heard, not silent.
