  • 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.

If people can't see the red flags waving here, I don't know what to say.
People are just sick of using taxpayer dollars to defend a guy who beat his wife with his fists. They point out he was not convicted of anything. He just happened to be with MS-13 gang members at Home Depot. The informant was wrong. He was picked up in Tennessee with a group of men for suspicion of human trafficking. Just another coincidence.

Amazing then that he’s now become a victim of state sanctioned human trafficking.

He is a victim of his own actions.
What actions were those? How did he force the Trump administration to ignore a court order and illegally deport him?
What kind of man beats his wife with his fists?
How is that relevant? That’s not why he was deported, was it?

Also look how the narrative has changed in just a few days. When the tread started he was an MS13 gang member and a terrorist. Now’s he’s a wife beater.

Just on that one point though… What kind of man cheats on all three of his wives? Can someone so repeatedly unfaithful even be trusted?

He was deported because he came here illegally and deported early because he was a violent member of a terrorist group.

View attachment 363776
The documentation:
"He was arrested alongside other known MS-13 members, including Christhyan Hernandez-Romero (“Bimbo”) and Jose Guillermo Dominguez (“Maniaco”), both of whom sported gang tattoos linked to leadership roles. The arrest stemmed from an investigation into gang-related activity and followed surveillance by the Hyattsville Police Department."

reminds me of how if a black person gets shot by cops wrongfully suddenly they look at any crime the guy ever did to excuse it.

I see, so no reason to bring up the DV allegations other than to further smear the man.

Well there's a Japanese guy whose visa is getting removed for his criminal history. Which is two speeding tickets and a fishing licence violation, which was overturned in court. So that kind of behaviour checks out.

No insult intended. If you felt insulted then my apologies.

That said, let us deal with reality. Trump is not trying to bring this individual back.
I agree, and I don't blame Trump for not bringing Garcia back just to simply deport him again.

Okay. You can start with the reality of Article II of the treaty you keep bringing up and tell me which of the crimes listed has Garcia been charged with.

I see, you don't think the president should be bound by the constitution as interpreted by the SCOTUS?

Lie about it. That has never been a problem for this administration.

Due process matters for all of us or it matters for none of us:Republican judge issues warning to Trump in judicial rebuke—"Lawlessness". He was here illegally and could have,and probably should have been deported then, but he had a withholding of removal placed on him in 2019. Meaning that he couldn't be deported back to El Salvador. This was never appealed or removed.
So he was entitled to due process first. If he had simply been deposited in El Salvador and not the Supermax prison I think it would have been more of a non-story.
Trump has stated, and his press secretary has confirmed, that he intends to find a way to send American Citizens there. I don't know if that's legal, but Abrego Garcia is the test case, in my opinion. (and yeah I know he was not a citizen but he had a stay of removal on him)
This prison is a prison that no one ever comes out of except in a pine box according to El Salvador's President.
Trump say only the worst of the worst will go there, but how long will it be until that line moves?
And what if a far left Democrat gets into power who considers words and protesting in front of abortion clinics to be violence, but has
the capability to send people there that are a danger to their regime?
He should have been deported in 2019 but he wasn't, and Trump was in office at that time.
