"Trump administration concedes Maryland father from El Salvador was mistakenly deported and sent to mega prison"

apnews.com/live/donald-trump-n

The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.

New Level 🤔 Even Joe Rogan upset?

Joe Rogan said it’s “horrific” to think non-criminals could be lumped in with violent migrant gang members and shipped off to maximum security prisons in Latin America as the US ramps up its deportation efforts.

On Saturday’s episode of the “#JoeRogan Experience,” the mega-podcaster said he was worried about reports of mix-ups in the mass deportations of #migrants.

“The thing is, like, you got to get scared that people who are not criminals are getting, like, lassoed up and deported and sent to, like, #ElSalvador prisons”

#Trump admin: “But there is no jurisdiction in habeas. Plaintiffs admit—as they must—that the United States does not have custody over Abrego Garcia.”

They are arguing they don’t have jdx because he’s in El Salvador. He’s in El Salvador because they *mistakenly* sent him there. And the US govt is PAYING #ElSalvador to hold him in the detention center there.

This makes absolutely no sense.

But there is no jurisdiction in habeas. Plaintiffs admit—as they must—that the United States does not have custody over Abrego Garcia. They acknowledge that there may be “difficult questions of redressability” in this case, reflecting their recognition that Defendants do not have “the power to produce” Abrego Garcia from CECOT in El Salvador. Mem. Supp. TRO Mot. 2. But even more, they concede that Abrego Garcia is not in Defendants’ custody. Id. (asking the Court to order Defendants to “request that the government of El Salvador return Plaintiff to Defendants’ custody”). Despite their allegations of continued payment for Abrego Garcia’s detention, Plaintiffs do not argue that the United States can exercise its will over a foreign sovereign. The most they ask for is a court order that the United States entreat—or even cajole—a close ally in its fight against transnational cartels. This is not “custody” to which the great writ may run. This Court therefore lacks jurisdiction.

The #immigration judge had declared that Abrego Garcia was "more likely than not" to face persecution in #ElSalvador & the #Trump admin sent him there.

They even admit they knew, “although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error” & STILL they will not do anything to bring him back.

Plaintiffs allege that, on March 12, 2025, Abrego Garcia was stopped by ICE officers, who informed him that his immigration status had changed. Id. ¶¶ 48–50; see also Cerna Decl., infra Ex. C, ¶ 11. After being detained, he was questioned about gang affiliations and transferred ultimately to a detention center in Texas. Compl. ¶¶ 53, 56; Cerna Decl. ¶¶ 2, 11. Plaintiffs allege Abrego Garcia was told he would be removed to El Salvador and detained at the CECOT prison there. Compl. ¶¶ 56–57 & n.1. On March 15, although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error. Cerna Decl. ¶¶ 12–15. On March 16, a news article contained a photograph of individuals entering intake at CECOT. Id. ¶ 59. Abrego Garcia’s wife identified one of the detainees depicted as her husband based on his tattoos and head scars. Id.

The #Trump admin acknowledges that it grabbed a Maryland father with withholding of removal protected legal status & mistakenly deported him to #ElSalvador on March 15.

The US govt told a court on Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back.

"What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told Nick Miroff.

[a very chilling article on how Trump and his underlings are trampling on any semblance of legality]

"The family only discovered that their loved one, Jerce Reyes Barrios, had been renditioned to #ElSalvador when they saw him in viral videos posted by the #Trump administration, in which it celebrated what it said was the mass deportation of violent members of the #Venezuelan gang #TrenDeAragua. "

The Trump administration destroyed the life of an innocent man and his family but won't do a thing.
"The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up."

It is no longer an open secret: #America 🇺🇸 is officially in a constitutional crisis.

#DonaldTrump is openly defying judges & is not even pretending to bend extreme laws for use in peaceful times.

#Trump is acting like a king 🤴🏼 now. Normally in situations like this Congress would intervene. However, most #Republicans & #Democrats are too terrified of Trump to counter any of these moves.
