Trump then turned to Bukele and said of the assembled reporters: "They'd love to have a criminal released into our country. These are sick people."
Garcia has never been convicted of criminal charges in the US or El Salvador. It's hard to overstate what a big fucking problem this is. Due process is dead, you're a criminal because we say so. There is no exaggeration left, justice is dead, we are now, at this very moment, a dictatorship.
Edit to add that Kilmar being deported wasn't a "mistake" like the DOJ claims. Here's Stephen Miller directly using his own words to refute that it was a mistake today. https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/5248143-stephen-miller-doj-man-mistakenly-deported/
And just to be clear about something dollar store Dr. Evil said here: no, he was not, and is not, an illegal immigrant. He was granted asylum and was here legally.
Edit to also add that you should read The Jakarta Method if you haven't already. This smacks really strongly of the times laid out in the book right before everything goes to hell in a reactionary takeover.
Did any of the "reporters" there challenge them on this essential point?
Not that I know of, likely because they don't want to be kicked out. The white house kicked out the AP a while back for asking a question about climate change or some shit. This would get them removed and sued, no doubt, and our news organizations are either complicit or don't have the balls/finances to push back.
Thats what happens when news is either controlled by the rich via share holding mechanism or controlled by the state. News organizations need to be owned by all the people so that they are able to challenge people in power.
It's wild to wake up to a daily reminder that the communists were apparently right all along.
Everything they said would come true under communism has come true under capitalism.
Why do you think capitalists spent the last century fighting against communism? It's a threat to capitalists.
