  1. Absolutely horrifying. And now Trump’s saying he’s open to sending American citizens convicted of violent crimes to the same prison.

  2. As I read the comments as “Of course I can’t, Trump won’t allow it”, not a refusal…

  4. First they came for asylum seekers, and I said nothing for I am not an asylum seeker.

    Then they came for the naturalized citizens, and I said nothing for I am not a naturalized citizen.

    Then they came for the hispanic US citizens, and I said nothing for I am not a hispanic US citizen.

    Then they came for me and all US citizens who criticize the government, and there was no one left to speak for me.

  5. I thought Trump had every world leader calling him and kissing his ass?

  6. Let me get this straight:

    1. Trump mistakenly deports legal resident.

    2. Bukele won’t release him because he’s a terrorist.

    3. He’s not a terrorist; and he wouldn’t stay in El Salvador anyway, he would get sent back to the U.S.

    4. ???

    EDIT: Legal resident, not citizen

  7. So he is dead. When all of this all over, we will.not forget anyone who allowed this to happen. Bukele included.

  8. Buries the lead that Trump also won’t allow him back and is defying the Supreme Court

    >COLLINS: You said that if SCOTUS said someone needed to be returned you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago

    >TRUMP: Why don’t you just say, ‘isn’t it wonderful that we’re keeping criminals out of our country?’ That’s why nobody watches you anymore.

    Secretary of State confirms it:

    >Rubio: “No court in the United States has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States.”

  9. “How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele said. “I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”

    Who does, exactly?

  10. I hate these motherfuckers with every fibre of my being

  11. What have the Americans done by electing Trump?

  12. Can anyone even entertain the thought of visiting the US for tourism? It’s insane!

  13. The wiki says it has the capacity of 40,000 people, currently holding around 15k. 

    That is unreal.

  14. Gotta say, I figured a showdown with the SCOTUS was always coming with this dickhead, I didn’t think it would be about gulags when his administration already admitted the mistake.

  15. I wish the world would sanction the us and el Salvador, make us pay for such egregious human rights violations. Starve the beast till it’s people finally revolt against its tyranny

  16. Even managed to call him a terrorist. 

    When, and it will, this expands, you know where it’s going and how it’ll be justified 

  18. There is a lot of speculation being made that the reason he’s not being returned is because he is presumed dead. Statements are being made this would be a good PR win for Trump, show the country they’re willing to work with the courts, etc. but are refusing to do this because they can’t find Garcia or worse he’s dead. I hope with every fiber of my being this is not true.

    My true belief is that the Trump regime is ignoring this because once they bring him back it will open the door to start bringing others back. This is getting the most attention because it’s the first attempted rescue but there will be many more attempts through the courts if this succeeds. That is why he refuses to return him to the US. They don’t want to create a precedent.

  19. I’m beginning to consider that if an administration acts as if human life doesn’t matter then their lives should not matter also. Who here thinks it would have been better if Hitler had been killed as soon as he got into power?

  20. So our president has denied a direct order from our Supreme Court? Is this a first?

  21. Here is the part that pisses me off and to be clear, I get this is a feature not a mistake BUT we mistakenly send someone to this prison, they refuse to return him and we are going to continue sending them people??? I mean I get the cruelty is the point but people should really be organizing over this.

  24. This is what fascism looks like. We do not have rights according to this regime. 

  27. They’re both evil liars and fascists and they’re conspiring with each other.

  28. I’m really starting to wonder if that guy is even still alive.

  29. Is Europe ready for World War 3 because Trump is quickly working his way to concentration camps for American citizens that say anything negative about him. The scariest part is that I think a lot of Americans either wouldn’t care enough to fight back or would fight for him. It’s like watching Hitler’s rise to power in real time.

  30. So this weak president is going to make the President of El Salvador bully him? I thought MAGA said he wasn’t weak?

  31. So the Supreme Court said he HAD to be returned. Fascist said no, how will the courts react? Order a marshal to arrest him? Contempt? Some actual consequences??

  32. Welp, here is the first actual constitutional crisis.

    A 9-0 Supreme Court decision and the administration is saying “Ha! No.”

  33. Why is America pretending that it can’t force this tiny country to give back A lawful resident, but claims it can go toe to toe with China?

    This needs to be nipped in the bud sooner rather than later

  34. Don’t go to America they’re detaining everyone. Goodbye tourism.

  35. Soo surely both nations should get sanctioned because what they are doing is LITERAL Human Trafficking.

  37. Shouldn’t we invade then? They are refusing our courts after we have them million of dollars

  38. When are these psychos going to get arrested for crimes against humanity? This fascist crap has got to stop.
