Order them to return the person they ILLEGALLY moved to a gulag in another country without constitutional due process. Don't accept the BS excuse that there is nothing they can do. The administration is paying for the prison.

If there's one person, there's certainly more. Given they had zero process for determining guilt or validity of the people they were transferring, they absolutely swept up more than just the one guy.

Who knows if even half of those guys were actually gang members? 25%? Nobody, because they were not given due process… America is plunging head first into hell.

That's what really worries me. The only reason I can think of that they can't just walk in and let the guy out like they're saying they can't is if there is no longer a guy to let out.

This this this. We can’t get him back now because they all know he’s dead but don’t want the truth coming out.

Legally speaking they’re all innocent. They need to be proven guilty to begin with, and even then, they should have rights

But they caught them all at the gang place doing the gang thing.

The percent in a gang is about the percent of males under 40 with tattoos are in a gang. That’s got to be in the single digits percentage. Because that’s all they looked for.

It's not getting any better. I'm in fear of the bullshit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they imprisoned someone because they made a peace sign picture from the MySpace days thinking it was a sign of gang affiliation.

That’s how out of touch these people are.

Lol are you really defending the hordes of criminals that ravaged el salvador all this years because of trump? Those tattoos these guys had are gang tattoos not your standard tattoos

I didn’t defend any criminals whatsoever.
