4 #House #Democrats land in #ElSalvador, demand return of #KilmarAbregoGarcia, a
in Maryland resident who was deported by the #Trump admin to a prison in El Salvador due to an "administrative error."

The group — Reps Robert Garcia, CA; Maxwell Frost, FL; Yassamin Ansari, AZ; & Maxine Dexter, OR — said in a statement they hope "to pressure" the White House "to abide by a Supreme Court order."

Sen #AmyKlobuchar said on CNN that #SCOTUS should hold #Trump admin ofcls in #contempt if they continue to ignore a court order to facilitate #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s return from #ElSalvador. Klobuchar said the court should appoint a special prosecutor, independent of Trump’s #DOJ, to uphold the rule of #law & charge ofcls who are responsible for Abrego Garcia’s wrongful #deportation, or have refused to facilitate his return. “We’re getting closer & closer to a #ConstitutionalCrisis,” she said.

#SCOTUS’ unsigned, one-paragraph order came after a fast-moving legal battle late Friday. The #ACLU had rushed to several lower courts, then to the Supreme Court, claiming that the #Trump admin was planning to deport more #Venezuelan migrants, presumably to #ElSalvador, with little to no #DueProcess under the wartime #law, the #AlienEnemiesAct.

The Supreme Court’s decision ordered a pause on the #deportations of the detainees while it considers the emergency application.

"Bukele has shown how a state of exception can be sustained not just through brute force, but by raising the cost of speaking out. Under his state of exception, anybody can be labeled a criminal and critics often are. Trump is following suit, his policies have already effectively limited freedom of expression for a class of people that must now stay silent for fear of being grabbed off the streets"

Fascist Word Games and the Birth of an American Dictatorship

"t this point I’m honestly not sure how much more evidence fair minded people need to see before they understand the Trump regime’s farcical yet terrifying trafficking of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador had no basis in law or public safety, but was rather just a form of highly-effective fascist propaganda; a grand act of nazi theatre designed to inspire white nationalists, terrorize brown people, and shatter the legal checks on the Klepto Kaiser and his Christian Nationalist regime’s power."

"6. There was a double-hearsay accusation by a disgraced cop in 2019 that he had an 'MS-13 affiliation,' and on that basis he could be deported to a country other than El Salvador. Still, he got a work permit."

7. Whether Abrego Garcia is 'good' or 'bad,' he is entitled to some due process in the United States.

8. El Salvador has facilitated the return of other people back to the U.S. before."
