I just don’t get it. Why don’t they bring back that one guy and be done with it? Why lot of resistance over one guy?
-
they don’t want him talking about what happened to him
-
it’s not about the guy, it’s about holding onto power

Two reasons. First, they’re not wrong: now that the man is in foreign custody, the US can do nothing more than ask for his release. The Administration cannot compel his release. They could ask forcefully, but El Salvador can still decline.
But second, the administration did this on purpose, because it can. They set up this foreign prison precisely so that people they sent there can never be forced to come back by any US court, in direct opposition to the US Constitution. And they are doing this publically, so everyone knows that people can be “disappeared” by this government. Any foreign national is at risk of being "administrative error"ed into non-existence. And let’s face it, that means any human in the US can be, because anyone who can’t prove their citizenship status on the spot will be presumed to be a non-citizen, and even people with documentation on their person can have it confiscated and “lost”. It is straight-up intimidation of people who the President doesn’t like.
Well, a third reason, too: if this guy ever comes back and tells his story to the press, that might be the thing that snaps all the MAGAs out of their trance. So it is not in the Administration’s interest to ever have him come back.
There’s a 4th reason. He’s already dead.
That would probably be too merciful an outcome, frankly…
I hope not. But if he was, there’s really no reason for El Salvador to keep him, is there?
If so, his organs have already been harvested and sold. How much are kidneys nowadays?
The facility was built to hold 20k. There’s at least 80k.
Folks on TikTok have posted Google images results that look like blood pools from slaughterhouses.
He is either dead, or has seen the things that make you wish you were dead.
That’s awful generous to assume they don’t dump dead bodies in the closest large ditch out there…
Plus they don’t want a martyr
Well, a third reason, too: if this guy ever comes back and tells his story to the press, that might be the thing that snaps all the MAGAs out of their trance.
Yeah… About that. They’ll just plug their ears and go “lalalalalala, he’s got Trump derangement syndrome, he just hates Trump! Lying MSM paid him! George Soros!” There’s no reaching MAGA :(
I did say “might”…
It’ll definitely snap the democrats into acting, but I don’t think there’s much that the administration can do to a brown person that will snap the magas out of their brainwashing.
Because he’s probably already dead.
This is a prison which has taken in a lot of people, and bragged about never releasing anyone. It’s an extermination camp, not a work camp.
Just belligerence? Trump doesn’t give a shit and acts like a child whenever he’s told to do anything. And when you give somebody like that power, well… This is what you get.
Because they’d be admitting they have a responsibilty for their actions. Something Trump or his buddies have never had, and don’t intent to start having.
What’s going to be next? They’ll have a responsibility for the LGBTQ+ people they’ll send to deathcamps? You can’t have that as an authoritarian.
There could be additional reasons, but the main is why they sent people to a foreign jail is so no one can force them to bring them back. This is why we can’t just let go and accept it.
its the test case for sending whoever they want to the gulag.
Remember: Camp Auschwitz was in Poland, not Germany.
^^ this right here. That’s the exact reason.
