The decision of the US government to arrest a man from Maryland and send him to a notorious prison in El Salvador seems to be “completely lawless”, a federal judge wrote on Sunday in a legal opinion in which she stated why she had ordered the Trump government back to the USA.
There is little to no evidence to support a “vague, unconfirmed” claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was once in the MS-13 street gang or to put it in particular into one of the most dangerous prisons in the western hemisphere, “wrote the US district judge Paula Xinis.
Xinis said that an immigration judge expressly excluded the deportation of Abrego Garcia (29) to his home country El Salvador in 2019, where he was probably persecuted by local gangs.
The White House referred to the deportation of Abrego Garcia as a “administrative error”, but also thrown him an MS-13 gang member.
The Ministry of Justice has asked the 4th US Court of Appeal to have a break.
Judge who is not satisfied with the inactivity of the government
She said it was “striking” that the government had argued that it could not be forced to bring Abrego Garcia back because it is no longer in the US.
“In fact, they cling to the breathtaking proposal that they can remove every person – migrants and US citizens equally – to prisons outside of the United States, and then they claim that they have no way of causing the return because they are no longer the” custodian “, and the dish is therefore lacking jurisdiction,” wrote Xinis.
An immigration judge returned to Abrego Garcia asylum in October 2019, but granted him protection against retreat to El Salvador. It was released after the US immigration and customs authority (ICE) had not appealed.
Abrego Garcia later married Jennifer Vasquez Sura, who is a US citizen, and the couple are parents of her son and her two children from an earlier relationship.
Vasquez Sura said in court documents that her young autistic son had been looking for consolation in the fragrance of his missing father’s clothing since his arrest of the missing father.
The Trump government has advertised an action of immigration, for which the arrest of people who are illegal in the country, expanded the arrests of the agents who have expanded the agents’ arrests or that they have violated the conditions of their work or their student visa.
“I’m all for it”: Trump about the use of El Salvador prisons
The Trump government has welcomed a contract with El Salvador, in which several people in its immense and notorious terrorism restriction or a cecot prison are accommodated in the United States.
“If you can accommodate these terrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I am everything for it,” Trump told reporters and admitted, “I don’t know what the law says about it.”
The Trump administration deported more than 200 immigrants by lying a measure of war measures on the law on the Alien enemies – they claimed that they were members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezolan gang. Andrew Chang explains how Trump interprets the language of the Law of 1798 to avoid the standard immigration court system, and why experts say it is a slippery slope.
Trump appointed the alien enemy law of 1798 last month to justify flights with 261 deported, including 137 Venezuelan men.
The Trump government had started calling a war closer to the migrant edition, in particular through the award eight Latin American criminal groups, including Venzuela’s tren de Aragua, as “foreign terrorist organizations”.
But soon stories appeared that the scene was not quite as it appeared. Some of them had insisted for a long time that they had no gang bonds, and their families had created documents that show that they had no criminal records.
It also seems that the administration is dependent on tattoos to assess whether there were some gang members.
The US district judge James Boasberg, who hears legal challenges in this group of the group, has urged the Ministry of Justice to explain its actions and to criticize the administration for confidentiality and action “in evil”. At least one flight started after Boasberg ordered them.
Boasberg said that he could already issue a judgment this week whether there are reasons to find someone in the contempt of the court because he opposed the court decision.
“I’ve been doing this for a long time and saw some rather strange things,” said Texas lawyer John Dutton, who represented one of the men who had disappeared into the El Salvadoran prison. “But to do this in the middle of the night, to send people to another country and directly to a prison if they were not convicted of crime? It makes no sense.”
Deported gay make -up artists
A Venezuelan Magetic artist – Andry Jose Hernandez Romero – is one of those who are trapped in the mass shifts. He fled the country last summer after his boss had publicly beaten a state news station.
Romero hoped to find a new life in the USA. He used a US customs and border protection app to make an appointment with a US border crossing in San Diego.
Reminder that this is Andry. He is a professional makeup artist from Venezuela. He has no criminal history. He has been in a theater troop since he was 7 and loves the pageants. His family is disturbed and misses him. He is sitting in a cell in El Salvador this evening. #Freandry pic.twitter.com/twmltcbcd6
There he was asked about his tattoos and where his difficulties began.
The US immigration authorities use a number of “Gang identifiers” to recognize members of Tren de Aragua. Some are obvious, such as drugs with well -known tren members.
Some identifiers are surprising: Chicago Bulls jerseys, “high-end urban street wear” and tattoos of watches, stars or crowns, according to the state teaching material, which was submitted by the American Civil Liberties Union.
According to documents and lawyers, tattoos were the key to marking many deported men as tren members.
Romero, who is in her early 20, has tattooed a crown on the wrist. One is next to the word “mom”. The other next to “dad”. According to his lawyer, the crowns also pay homage to the Christmas festival of his hometown and to his work in beauty competitions, in which crowns are common.
Romero is now somewhere in Cecot. 60 minutes – In a show on Sunday evening, it said that the majority of men could not find any signs of a criminal record – produced photos of Romero in Cecot, who had not yet seen his American lawyer.
Despite the controversy, the Trump government is now calling for the Supreme Court to permit the deportations of Venezuelan migrants according to the law on Alien Enemies.
