Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Apparently this guy had his status reinstated last Friday. No explanation on why it was revoked or why it was reinstated. https://www.abc4.com/news/wasatch-front/byu-phd-student-will-not-be-deported-lawyer-says/- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Linked story has more context https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/18/abrego-garcia-deported-tennessee-traffic-stop/83156188007/ and here's the full DHS release https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25901936-hsi-referral-abrego-garcia-redacted/#document/p1- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Missed this before my prior post. Sounds like deportees are already getting loaded onto buses after less than 24 hours notice. DHS might be trying to test the Supreme Court's definition of "reasonable".- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
ACLU is filing motions in multiple courts out of fear DHS is getting ready to deport more people to El Salvador under the AEA.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
To quote Judge Brian E. Murphy in US District Court today responding to DHS's lack of due process: "All nine sitting justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Assistant Solicitor General of the United States, Congress, common sense, basic decency, and this Court all disagree." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.282404/gov.uscourts.mad.282404.64.0.pdf- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
To clarify, he wasn't granted asylum. He applied for asylum, but you have to apply within a year of entering the country so it was denied. He was granted protection from removal, which I've heard is more rare and a higher bar to clear than asylum.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Informed?- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
One other thought here...it's pretty weak to blame this guy and his lawyer for creating a constitutional crisis by not moving fast enough. The government ignored his court ordered protection from removal and then they ignored a court order to stop deportations, turn the plan around and bring people back. Why should anyone expect that a new/different filing would change anything?- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
You have a link outlining any of this? Pretty sure nobody knew where he was until his wife identified his tattoos in photos taken in El Salvador.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Man, there are a few things you have to keep in mind here. First, the judge that determined Abrego Garcia is MS-13 was an immigration judge. This was not a criminal case. The police/district attorney in Prince George did not bring any charges against him. Immigration judges/courts are very different from criminal courts. They are making administrative determinations. Second, the hearing where this determination occurred was a bond hearing by the immigration judge. It was to determine if he should be granted bail or held until his immigration case is complete. In this situation, the standard is that ICE/DHS claims Abrego Garcia is a threat or flight risk. It is up to Abrego Garcia to prove to the judge that he is not a threat to the community. It is a very high bar putting the onus on the defendant to prove a negative. And the judge is completely reasonable in being cautious and not granting release. But it is a very different standard than anything we'd see in a criminal case. Third, Fox News, Pam Bondi and the White House keep talking about "two judges determined he's MS-13". The second judge was handling the appeal of the bond hearing. Still an immigration judge, still not a criminal case. In this appeal, the judge is not tasked with determining whether he's MS-13. Instead, the appeal judge has a narrow task of determining whether they original judge clearly erred in making the bond decision. Denying the appeal just means the judge determines that there was some evidence originally presented and the original judge was being reasonably cautious.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Hard to know what to make of this, but there's noise that people are worried about deportations to El Salvador under AEA today. Here's a lengthy thread about lawyers who say their clients in the Bluebonnet detention center (outside Abilene) are calling and saying they've been told they are getting deported.- Texas -- a failed state
Yeah, that gets at what I'm wondering about. Very curious to hear about any mechanisms to keep the public school "whole" when voucher kids leave. If a few kids take vouchers, schools can't just hire 90% of a teacher. Unfortunately I expect the answer is just cut teachers and cram more kids into fewer classrooms.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
- Texas -- a failed state
I haven't seen this explained anywhere, so hoping someone can clarify. How do the senate and house voucher bills impact the basic allotment? If the allotment is $6500 and vouchers are $10,000, does the private school get $10K and the public school lose $6500? Or does the public school keep the allotment?- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Pretty powerful opinion from the judge denying Trump's request for an emergency stay in the Abrego Garcia case. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca4.178400/gov.uscourts.ca4.178400.8.0.pdf- Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance

I should have said found probable cause, not contempt yet.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag
Boasberg is now the first judge to find Trump's DOJ in contempt. Buckle up.- Trump’s El Salvador Gulag

Aaaand....looks like DOJ has missed the extended deadline- Tariff wars, they have began
I saw this handy chart that helps illustrate the point Furman is making. I wish there was a column that showed the tariff situation pre-Trump. - Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
