Then why did you begin with him being deportable due to association with MS13 in your first comment?

Because he is a partisan. I’ve literally never once seen this account argue a single political point in good faith.

We live in interesting times, and no one can predict almost anything about the future. But we can all take comfort in the fact that no matter what cruel, ridiculous, destructive policy Trump is pursuing in six months, some will be right here debasing themselves with a full-throated defense of it.

You said the Garcia situation as a big deal, and I said it was not because he was properly deported for being associated with MS13. The mistake by the administration was only with respect to where he was deported.

The immigration judge’s decision that he was deportable for being associated with MS13 isn’t up for debate at this point. But it’s highly relevant to show the deportation was proper.

I quoted two judges who ruled otherwise in the past couple days.

The judges didn’t rule otherwise. They had no reason to do so, because Garcia’s filing in the district court conceded he was deportable. “The government could have chosen to remove Mr. Abrego Garcia to any other country on earth.”

Note: it looks like you’re quoting from news articles describing the judicial decisions, instead of reading the decisions themselves. That’s like quoting from news articles about software code. They’re not reliable sources.
