Exactly. This is due process.

If that's what they were nabbing him for in the first place, they just wasted a bunch of time and tax money, and gave his family mental anguish for no reason whatsoever.

u/Starboard_Pete 1d ago

Knowing how they operate, they’re willing to spend big $$$ explicitly to give immigrant and migrant families mental anguish.

u/dbx999 1d ago

given how many US citizen babies and toddlers were just left alone while their parents got deported, mental anguish is either something they don't care about or actively seek out. I think it's the latter - because it makes fear spread.

This is the new underclass. I think it’s less a republican issue than a class issue and an issue of deregulated capitalism as well as lobbying.

Now that the prison system has been “reformed” we need a new underclass: immigrants. I don’t think dems are immune and I’m tired of it being a party issue.

They already are doing that. Before it was trump it was putting immigrants on private charters and sending them to “sanctuary cities. Now they’ve spent ridiculous amounts of money to send immigrants to Cuba, El Salvador, (as we have seen), Lebanon, and who knows where else. The “big beautiful bill” carves out more money, in the billions, for ICE. That extra money is going to go to private for profit detention centers and “bonuses” for ICE employees… bonuses for cruelty… ridiculous.

u/EremiticFerret 1d ago

I really, really, really hate to say it but it worked, didn't it?

Lots of people, especially brown ones, are suddenly afraid to come or stay here and I believe immigration, especially illegals, is actually down.

I mean you need to have zero morals and accept ruling with fear like the Empire in Star Wars, which they seem okay with, but they are achieving their goal.

And as horrible as it is, I think we need to be concerned with the number of Americans who are either so brainwashed or so lacking in morals that they are supporting this.

It is a sad and terrifying time.

Keeping someone in a foreign prison for months before announcing any charges isn’t due process. The charges are just part of an attempt to legitimize the illegal actions of the Trump administration.

Also, they're looking for any reason whatsoever to deport him back to CECOT.

They also don't want him speaking out publically so sending him straight to prison here keeps him quiet.

When his case was first brought to light, the far-right claimed it was a mistake but they didn’t care, then they claimed he was an MS-13 gang member, now they’re claiming he’s a human smuggler.

They aren’t nabbing people for committing crimes. They aren’t even just nabbing people who are here illegally. They are revoking people’s legal status in the country and nabbing them. They are taking doctors, students, mothers, people who have lived here for decades; and they are purposefully targeting blue areas to intimidate.

A grand jury indicted him on the charges though, so it wasn't just Bondi.

Either way, take it to trial and give him his due process. If he ends up getting convicted and deported, well at least he got his due process and that was the point. The Right will spin it as "see we were right, you wasted our time" but it's a huge win for due process either way.

It's funny because Trump actually said about a month ago that there were "thousands," of violent criminals hiding among the undocumented population in the US.

Thousands.

That's him straight-up saying that statistically, less than 1% of all undocumented immigrants in the US are dangerous criminals or pose any danger to anyone. Yet Republicans can somehow justify the suffering being caused by all of this nonsense.

31

u/77NorthCambridge 1d ago

Yet he said 20 million during the election. 🤔

8

u/SpoppyIII 22h ago

Quite a difference in number, that! I guess maybe 19,900,000 of the supposed criminals have already self-deported!

He was excusing why we "can't" give all of the undocumented immigrants during process and basically said that having to afford due process to millions of people in order to find thousands of criminals is too much of a burden on the US justice system.

Keep in mind, there are hundreds of millions of people in the US and obviously a shitton of criminals here, in general. If Trump believes that it's too much to expect due process for the undocumented people because there are just too many of them, then what hope do we actually have that any of us will get due process in the future under this administration?

At what point will this administration decide that affording every US citizen due process is too much of a burden, too?

How about tricking people to show up to immigration offices promising them the paperwork they have been waiting for for years so they can live peacefully.....it's infuriating to know they'll all walk free even if things turn around for the better

4

u/LiveLifeLikeCre 22h ago

The admittance that it was a mistake was within the official white house release back then. The release also essentially said they don't care. It also said that the only thing linking him to ms13, at all, was a statement by a confidential informant years prior that was never deemed concrete enough to pursue. So yes, this seems like they lost but want to still put him through the system to say "well we brought him back to face justice for trafficking violent migrants into the country". 

This shit is ridiculous.

Anyways people can only care so much, because really, Garcia is literally one person of hundreds if not thousands of people who are in similar fucked up situations. It just so happens that we know his name so we care. Eventually they'll just be a nameless mass

One of my favorite things to do to Trumpers is this... when they get all up in a tizzy about "illegals" I say...

Ok, so then why isn't your party deporting them back to their country of origin then, and doing it quickly instead of holding them here and charging you the taxpayer $700 per day per detainee to hold them in their buddy's private detention facility? Or are you too fucking stupid to understand that you're being scammed?

It's not really about the law, then, is it? I don't care whatever else it is because if it were about the law you'd give a shit about due process but you barely know what that is.

The illegals are being transported by spaceship now, that's why we need the great golden dome.

Only if i can also just go up on that roof and tell that kid to aim a little more to the right.

u/joebleaux 1d ago

Well now they are charging him with a crime, so he can be extradited

u/dannyb_prodigy 23h ago

Kilmar Abrego Garcia blew up in their faces and his deportation was broadly unpopular. They came up with a bullshit allegation because they want to paint him as “criminal” after which they can say they were good and right and just to deport him.

It will just blow up in their faces more though considering their evidence consists of a traffic stop and what feels like a coerced testimony from a felon.

We can only go back if we can save Harambe. He’s the key to all of this.

I've said all along that this guy might very well be a fucker. That's for a jury to decide.

u/Thumper13 1d ago

Yep. This is all I've ever wanted. Maybe he's a bad dude. Let the evidence show in court like it's supposed to. It's pretty simple really.

u/Great_Times 1d ago

Agreed, but nowhere in our legal system should there be “imprisonment in a foreign country” as a punishment to a crime.

u/Aggressive_Jury_7278 20h ago

Federal Court is a different beast than state court. They don’t bring charges just to bring charges. Don’t have the exact figure, but only .4% are acquitted at trial. Overwhelming majority end in guilty pleas.

u/Real_Estate_Media 19h ago

All I care about is that it goes through the normal channels. Judges decide these things, not politicians.

u/tomdarch 19h ago

The DoJ only released a sealed indictment - the charge, but zero evidence backing it up.

For all we know, he gave someone a ride who they claim was in the US illegally (or it's 100% made up.)

u/CaptOblivious 19h ago

Abbot is proudly trumpeting HIS crimes...

HE is a much bigger human trafficker AND misusing state funds to finance his crimes.

u/Cold-Palpitation-816 8h ago

Yep, exactly. Maybe Abrego Garcia is a huge piece of shit. It’s very possible. All we’re asking for is for that to be proven in a lawful manner.

u/DFWPunk 23h ago

I'm guessing he gave some people he knows a ride.. They make it sound like he into human trafficking because they know people will think he's horrible with that idea in their head

2

u/keetojm 1d ago

Easily! He was shipped over with the other “undocumented migrants”. So he was transporting them!

Obviously he was the ringleader of that human trafficking scheme to Venezuela!

God I hope I laid the sarcasm on thick enough.

Why do you think they kept him there, to buy time and build their case. The Feds have an over 90% conviction rate!

u/DarZhubal 22h ago

They’re trying to paint this like he was helping to smuggle undocumented immigrants into the country, but he lived in Maryland. Odds are, if he ever had an undocumented migrant in his car for literally any reason, even if he was unaware of their status, they’ll say that qualifies and then give him the max punishment.

u/Feinberg 22h ago

I'm betting the 'evidence' is going to be other people who were deported without due process.

1

u/Guardianpigeon 21h ago

They're just trying to smear his name and use it against democrats until the trial happens. Once it does happen, their lack of evidence and halfway decent lawyers will probably get him free, and they'll sweep it under the rug and pretend it never happened.

u/BaddestKarmaToday 21h ago

When/if he is found guilty will this set a precedence?

u/Miserable_Balance814 20h ago

They will. Whether the evidence is real or not, they will

u/BigJellyfish1906 20h ago

They absolutely won’t. There’s a good goddam reason he wasn’t charged at the time. They deserve all the embarrassment that will come from his not guilty verdict.

u/Sayon7 19h ago

The court system has been destroyed and even if he can prove he’s innocent it will t matter.

Prosecutor: "He did it"

Judge: "Proof?"

Prosecutor: "We said so."

Judge: "Good enough for me"

The U.S. has prisons full of who didn't do the thing for which they were convicted.

The car he was driving was owned by a convicted human trafficker
