  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump admin. concedes Maryland man from El Salvador was mistakenly deported/sent to mega prison - shrugs 'nothing can be done' [ETA: oh but it can!]

You mean rather than Bukele simply sending him back?

Because Garcia is more than likely to be tortured there and the US is theoretically opposed to that (so far). Because the Supreme Court ordered Trump to facilitate his release and asking for him back would do that. Because he was illegally deported on Trump's own initiative. Because it would be no skin off Trump's teeth but would save the guy's life and help his American family.


We PAID to have him incarcerated there. And there is zero evidence that Trump even requested the return of Garcia - he could have made the request during the presser but he decided not to do that.
Sounds like Garcia is El Salvador's problem.

These bleeding heart hate America coastal elites just can't make up their minds.

"Boo hoo! We have so many prisons here!"

So we get rid of some

"Boo hoo! There sending people to El Salvador!"

What do you want? Public execution?
I think they want them released and continue to be a threat of public safety.

Youre right. Its more my sheer refusal to accept that anyone could be so credulous.
There's no way to know that Bukele would send Garcia back to the US if Trump requested it. Rather it's something that's assumed and or claimed. There's obviously a considerable amount of animosity against Bukele for "being friends with Trump"

The same for US born criminals as well. The more criminals on the street the better. As typified by scores of criminals running around blue states/cities.

What will make you happy
For my government to follow basic legal principles and procedures and protections. For the administration to maybe not engage in extrajudicial kidnapping and imprisonment.

Is that a lot to ask for? Maybe for this administration it is.

Garcia will be dropped like BLM did to George Floyd once the money stopped flowing in.
What’s officer Chauvin been up to lately? It seems that wrong has been righted.

The order was to facilitate Garcia's return. If El Salvador is unwilling to return him, there is nothing to facilitate. Thus, there are no disregarding of any supreme court orders.
Exactly what I said. The United States and more importantly, the President of the United States, now answers to El Salvador. Bukele calls the shots here, not Trump.

The guy we’ve been told is going to stand up to Xi and Putin and Iran can’t get the president of El Salvador to cooperate with the US in keeping with a SCOTUS order.

I know it won’t mean anything coming from me but we look freaking pathetic man.

What's the big deal? At least Bukele was elected. Elon, not so much.

We need to explain to you why the administration should follow the rule of law?
Is there a law that requires other nations to return their citizens to another? Maybe a judge could rule that require Viktor Bout be returned to the United States.
