But what if the guy is a great hockey player who unfortunately has the last name satan?

Boasberg doesn’t have anything to do with Garcia

It isn’t dispositive but it is evidence

I’m pretty sure the kid was assassinated in a separate drone strike in a cafe.

I don’t think traffic implies forced. Coyotes traffic people across the border because the people want to get across the border.

But doesn’t that cast further doubt on the suspect?

To be clear I was talking about his kid. And it was nothing like with Garcia.

I think you are mistaken—if this guy died there’d be attempted riots. This is getting noise because progs need immigrants in their voting bloc.

I was in college at the time. Regardless, I think practically it was a relatively small story.

I think the point of Jesus’ death is that he was killed by the legal leaders, religious leaders, and the general public. It wasnt one party but the whole.

I don’t think anything you write there is the true reason. First, wrongful death suits are pretty much orthogonal to how the public thinks about these things (ie most people would be more concerned about the government having the ability to summarily execute them as opposed to jailing them). Second, the killing of Alwaki wasn’t years old; it was prominent. If memory serves Rand Paul filibustered over it.

No, I think the true reason is that progressives and their media allies don’t really care about due process; it is used as a weapon. They don’t like Trump deporting illegals so they brought up this case where there is a silly argument over due process (nobody disputes the core underlying fact that he ought not be in the US) and are trying to use it to paint with a wide brush.

So yeah I dont think progressives in toto are being honest here though that doesn’t mean the person I’m responding to is being dishonest.

Why? This fucker is substantively guilty and the only reason this is an issue is a BS asylum claim.

So now due process requires us to wait to deport people? How long?

Anwar Alaki’s innocent kid didn’t get 90 seconds to say shit. Instead he and his fellow cafe members were droned to death because he “should’ve picked a better father.” Yet Garcia who already had multiple court cases establishing that he was in fact removable is taking up orders of magnitude more air time. I wonder why that is?

Actually he was determined by two court rulings to be ms-13

PoW is just entirely different concept. They aren’t expected to be there for years at a time. There is a reciprocity angle here (we will treat your PoWs nicely if you test ours nicely). Most PoW don’t have significant control over people in the same country nor are the PoWs expected to circumvent their captors in spreading drugs etc in the captor’s country. Also the deterrence angle isn’t really there either (indeed a belligerent might want opponents who are willing to surrender since it reduces the harm their troops are facing).

These situations just aren’t remotely similar.

I think that is a bit more trivial to the broader narrative. No one is being wrongfully removed. They aren’t just snatching random people. There was very good reason to deport this person who received significantly more due process than I think is warranted.

Except you miss the fact that jail was not historically able to stop these criminal organizations from operating in ES. The criminals simply controlled parts of the jail and easily communicated with the outside.

These new jails break the ability to communicate with the outside AND serve as strong deterrence (ie don’t want to go to a bad jail don’t be a bad hombre).

Making jail nicer fails on deterrence, fails on incapacitation, and fails on just desert.

Nice jail is fine for things like drunk driving or white collar crime where going to jail at all is terrible for the perp. But for gangs? They need tough hardened jails.

It isn’t clear what process is needed but this guy went through two hearings which found (1) he was an illegal subject to removal and (2) was a member of MS-13 (though the second wasn’t needed).

He went through way more process than what was needed to effectuate removal. The only dispute was where he was removed to.

Am I the only person who finds it maddening that in the year 2025 newspapers still don't bother to link to the easily-findable publications that they base their reporting on?

It drives me mad. I can only conclude that most newspapers don’t want people to easily be able to read the opinion so they can editorialize what it says. People having to Google the actual opinion requires probably enough effort to deter a non insignificant number of people. Choice architecture matters.

Dude was an illegal immigrant. No one objects. Necessary process was confirming dude was illegal. Once that happens deporting his ass is appropriate.

Why? These gang members made ES a living hell for the people. Why do we have such empathy for evil people but effectively zero empathy for good people who had to endure the wrongs brought about by evil people?

ES is a relatively poor country. They tried for decades applying “human rights” and all it got them was a country run by gangs. Now the average person can actually live a normal decent life. And the rate of mistake on gang members is incredibly low (thankfully for ES the gang members decided to cover themselves in specific tats making their appearance obvious).

I just don’t see the moral argument that ES ought to treat these gang members okay.

I think there are two key differences. First the SCOTUS opinion says facilitate Garcia’s release from ES. The original ruling said facilitate and effectuate return to the US.

It is very interesting that people obsessed with language would leave off the phrase “return to the US.” If they were reading two statutes and one said “return to the US” and the other didn’t, they’d clearly conclude — all other things equal — that there was an important difference.

But it goes beyond that! Read the next part of the opinion. The SCOTUS says the judge needs to “clarify” the order as it might exceed her authority and she needs to have deference to Art II power.

Why would the order need to be clarified if it is hunky dory? SCOTUS split the baby. It is saying yes the admin improperly removed Garcia to ES but it is also telling the district judge to back off a bit that she is going too far.

I think you are evil in that case. For decades ES was a dangerous place run by gangs. Bukele was able to change that so now the average person can live a normal life. People aren’t being murdered left and right. They aren’t being extorted.

It seems incontrovertible to me that life is better in ES for the average person due to Bukele’s policies. So it would seem the argument is either: (1) violating so called due process is so bad that we’d rather society be a complete disaster or (2) the very few (ie probably less than 0.1%) innocently caught in the net via the policies are worth more than having a functioning society. I think we already reject the Blackstone formula in practice and while I’m willing to tolerate some process to protect the innocent it isn’t infinite and particular facts may argue against.

Now Bukele over time may turn into a negative authoritarian and at that time if criticize him.

Yes I could worry about all sorts of things but that doesn’t make the worry rational. Worrying that an illegal properly removed but improperly given to a particular country is not close to improperly removing a citizen.
