    Please be accurate when you criticize the administration. No US citizen has been sent to El Salvador.

    The guy the SC told Trump to get back was a legal immigrant, and a citizen of El Salvador.

    Edit: Well. I’m embarrassed. I misread the meme and my brain skipped the “married to a” part.

      Hey entwine, just an FYI – Kilmar Ábrego García was not a legal immigrant. He was an illegal immigrant (of course, this doesn’t mean he was charged with a crime) who was granted a protection from deportation to El Salvador by a US judge on the grounds that he would be in danger from El Salvadorean gangs. He has had a work permit since 2019.

      Nevertheless, he was not granted due process and this administration is violating court orders.
