The Trump administration said a Salvadoran man who was mistakenly deported and then brought back to the US on criminal charges will “never go free” on American soil, even though a judge ordered his release.
Kilmar Ábrego García was deported in March as part of an immigration crackdown. Government officials said he was removed in error, but they were unable to bring him back.
Earlier this month, he was sent to the state of Tennessee, where the justice department charged him with human smuggling.
The judge overseeing the case said on Sunday that Mr Ábrego García should be released from custody while he awaits trial. But she noted immigration officials would still have the power to detain him.
Oh look, defying another court order.
If you’re keeping track, that’s the third box that has failed.
The ballot box didn’t fail. People decided they wanted this by either voting Republican or not at all.
When the ballot box fails to prevent fascists from getting elected, the ballot box has failed.
Edit: Because it’s the Four Boxes of Liberty, not the Four Boxes of Whatever People Vote For.
I get what you’re saying, but the “four boxes of liberty” are about freedom. People were free to talk about how bad Trump would be, and they did. The 2024 election was free and fair (until we have proof it wasn’t). Federal courts have struck down many things the Trump administration has attempted. Liberty isn’t inevitable, it has to be fought for. As a country “We the People” failed, not our institutions.
That’s the fourth box.
If you ignore all the voter suppression and most likely election fraud by the election deniers who ran the counts, sure.
Yes, roughly half of the voting population voted for him. I have strong doubts that he or the overwhelming number of Republicans in other races won fairly.
The problem I have with this voter fraud allegations is his numbers have stayed pretty consistent across the three elections. The Democrats showed up in 2020 but didn’t bother for 2024.
At least there’s no genocide anymore! /s
I agree with you that there was voter suppression and gerrymandering but in no way were those insurmountable. We chose all this chaos and lawlessness.
If “Did Not Vote” was a candidate:
