Wrong. There is a court order that says Abrego Garcia cannot be removed to El Salvador. DoJ violated it. Were he returned to the U.S., DoJ would need to challenge that court order and convince a judge to terminate it in order to lawfully remove him to El Salvador.

Gratifying to know that the DOD is being run with all of the care, expertise, maturity, and competence of a group of middle schoolers egging an old guy’s house. It’d be hilarious if it weren’t, you know, for nukes and stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

The irony about this for the scumbag commie libs, is that the cold civil war they're pushing for will end really badly for them.
Libs are the biggest pussies l've ever seen and they use others to do their dirty work.
Their mommas are still doing their laundry for them as they celebrate tonight that their long sought goal of the destruction of the Republic, has been reached.
But they're not ready for what comes next. They never have been. It's all revolutionary cosplay with them. Not anymore, as it's all real now. You assholes wanted it.
Now you've got it. Good luck.

There’s a lot of “agree to disagree” noise coming from MAGA lately. What they mean is “I can’t coherently defend my decisions and the harm they cause, but I don’t want to be held accountable, and I’d also like you to humor the pretense that my stupidity is a reasonable disagreement.”
