Why the illegally kidnapped and deported person Mr. Garcia has not been returned to the USA ...

 

 

https://www.lawdork.com/p/trump-told-us-the-horrifying-reason

On Monday, President Donald Trump told us why Abrego Garcia is not back. Abrego Garcia cannot be brought back because his continued imprisonment there — and the success of its underlying claim that the U.S. doesn’t have the authority to bring him back — is key to the Trump administration’s lawless plans to create an outside-the-law prison system to hold anyone it dislikes, including U.S. citizens.

“You know what I want them to do?” Trump told El Salvador President Nayib Bukele as the two walked into the Oval Office. “Homegrown criminals next.”

Repeating it to the others in the room — including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Attorney General Pam Bondi — Trump said, “I said, ‘Homegrowns are next.’ The homegrowns.” adding that Bukele would need to “build about five more places.

Depends on how many other distractions they find first. (distractions being completely destroying our economy and government) This law is the type of focus all fascist slaughterhouses turn to and we'd probably be there even faster if Trump wasn't so busy golfing and begging Russia to love him. If we ever get President JD, I imagine it's at the top of his list, along with humiliating his wife and tweeting about how "based" he is.

chrisvanhollen (Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland)

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Essay/article about how all of the arrests/kidnappings/bans/defunding of protesters and universities ... is about authoritarian control, pretending to be about antisemitism.
The would-be king and his cronies are stating that the people protesting about Palestine must be antisemites, when most are not.  (some are, but most are not). Many people of Jewish faith support reasonable Palestinian rights, as they support all human rights. 
The US government is just using that as an excuse to round up people and send them to gulags.

The essay explains it better than I can

The author Marisa Kabas is an independent journalist whom I follow on bluesky.  She is a good source of breaking news.

Her newsletter is
thehandbasket.co
".co", not .com
Her site thehandbasket.co starts with "the".
(just plain handbasket.co without "the" is a creepy unrelated site)
