I've told folks to not be surprised if a citizen or a lawful permanent resident eventually ended up in a Salvadoran prison. Not there yet but we have someone with a grant of withholding of removal illegally deported. Trump administration claims no way to remedy their illegal act.
BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

FWIW, immigration attorneys get this insane batshit everyday about enforcement and removal operations from the ICE's attorneys and even from immigration judges who feel it is their duty to act as prosecutors even when they know they are violating basic Constitutional rights.
The DOJ says he won't say because his discussions with his clients are covered by Atty - Client privilege.

JUDGE: "in the hearing, you said you had no details on the flights. Then we had a 38 minute recess for you to get the details. Then you still represented you had no details about the flights."

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark
It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

Having had a kid die of measles in my arms as a doctor in the DR Congo, I respectfully disagree that this would be better. Vaccines save lives.

Let us please stop calling Trump's cabinet picks "provocative." They are reckless, negligent, harmful. They will provoke little real opposition despite RFK Jr., Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth lacking basic competence for their respective future posts. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...
Trump Picks Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, a Provocative Move
The Florida congressman, a polarizing figure on Capitol Hill, could give President-elect Donald J. Trump an ally at the top of the Justice Department who would not resist his directives.
