Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, entered the US illegally sometime around 2011, but an immigration judge in 2019, after reviewing evidence, withheld his removal. That meant he could not be deported to El Salvador but could be deported to another country. A gang in his native country, the immigration judge found, had been “targeting him and threatening him with death because of his family’s pupusa business.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/politics/what-to-know-about-the-kilmar-armando-abrego-garcia-case/index.html

It has been legally established that he entered the U.S. illegally, and is eligible for deportation.

For the record, he should not have been sent back to El Salvador, as the court had forbidden that. But while that is pertinent to this particular case, it's not pertinent to my question; instead it's an attempt to claim such a question is somehow evidence of my worship of Trump. Those who do so are totally clueless.

The same people who had absolutely no opinion on the previous POTUS ushering in 20 million illegals (in violation of every immigration law in existence) are suddenly constitutional scholars when it comes time to remove a tiny fraction of them. Whether from a constitutional, societal, security or any other perspective which POTUS action is more destructive to the American way of life? Only left wing trash will assert it's the one who is deporting illegal gang members back to wherever they came from, not the one who allowed millions in and set them up for life with govt benefits up to and including SS numbers. I sincerely hope the left continues to tilt at this windmill for the next twenty years as their true colors are abhorrent to anyone with a brain that doesn't despise this country, thus rendering themselves unelectable at the national level.

A judge has already ruled the dude is here illegally and can be deported. I think that should fulfill the due process requirement. You and every judge and legal scholar in the country can think otherwise, and I don't care. I don't think those who authored and signed the constitution ever intended for it to be used by illegal aliens to avoid or postpone being deported.

People focus on that "but could be deported to another country" part. For that to happen, the immigration court has to issue a final deportation order to that third country, which it did not do. If Trump's DOJ wanted to deport him, they would have gone back to the court and petitioned to deport him to a third country. Instead, Trump's DHS issued him a work permit and he's been working legally ever since.

Laws must be obeyed and legal processes observed, and in no way am I suggesting otherwise.

I do disagree with the way it works in this situation, and think it should be re-written to prevent this scenario form occurring.

We already knew he was here illegally, and it has been determined by a court of law. That has never been a question, and has been legally established . . . just not in the usual, perhaps proper court. Not at an official immigration hearing. I don't think someone here illegally is due any further process. We already know all we need to know to deport him. As is, people willfully and unapologetically broke our laws and entered illegally, knowing it would be extremely difficult to be deported. I feel it's an abuse of our system that was never intended or anticipated by the authors of the constitution.

Someone enters the country illegally, tgets a job, keeps their nose clean, has a family, and is a law abiding individual. They're adding ot the productivity of our society. I can easily see the argument that removing them does more harm overall than allowing them to stay and putting them on the path to citizenship.

Of course, that owuld mean they still have work to do, and it would be a sort of 'probation' type thing wherein they couldn't get into trouble, etc.

In the big picture, for that case, the good may outweigh the bad. Unfortunately, it was that argument, in large part, that basically led to the open border policy that we have experienced, and the problems that created. And whether you agree or disagree with that, it was an issue which clearly helped get Trump elected, as most voters abreed it was a big problem.

I think the problem with it is when we do that, and essentially reward illegal immigration on a case-by-case basis, it only encourages more, irrespective of other factors. When people know they can come here, enter freely, and live here from now on with a good chance to stay. I will never concede that's an acceptable practice, even if it means denying entry with increased border security, or deporting illegals.

I think border security and respect for immigration laws, in the big picture, outweighs the benefit of giving people who enter illegaly a chance to stay if they behave and contribute.

I also agree 100% that we need system reform that makes the immigration process easier while still maintaining a high level of security. That's what we should be aiming for.

Thanks for a civil, reasonable discussion.

Illegal entry is a civil offense unless that person has previously been issued a final deportation order. This guy got picked up waiting for construction work with a bunch of others. Asked for asylum. The judge clearly would have granted asylum, but was not allowed because he had been in the country too long. So he gave him the closest status to asylum that he could.

been sent back to El Salvador because it violated a court order. Trump and his crew were definitely wrong, in my opinion.

And no, I don't have to demand sh it. You are welcome to your opinion, and I'm fine with disagreement, but you have to be as well, and clearly you can't tolerate that. When you start judging and making demands (implying I'm not a decent person if I don't agree with you? I'm idiotic? Really?) you cross a line. You are no longer interested in an open minded civil discussion.

But your overall argument is still idiotic. You’re trying to punish the people when your efforts would be better off punishing the employers. If no one was hiring these immigrants, none of the immigrants would come to this country.

It doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be one or the other. I agree 100% that nobody should hire illegal aliens. Amen! Penalize those people by all means, and pass legislation to put a stop to it! Still, people who enter illegally do not get a pass by any means, are not victims of unjust laws, and have no right to be here.

Again, look at the underlying principle(s), What rights do illegal aliens have? Once it has been legally determined they are here illegally, do they get to stay here while they wait and or go through years of hearings and appeals? Is a person entitled to all of that the instant they set one foot onto U.S. soil? All of this is critical, and while Trump has brought the issues to our attention, the issues are much bigger than him, and can be discussed independent of Trump, as whatever we decide will apply long after he is gone. Let those principles determine what we do about immigration; don't let Trump determine our principles.

It has nothing to do with with my opinion. It’s objectively the right thing to do. It’s no different than if you chose to walk past a woman being raped.

While it may not be “your responsibility” there is no doubt you’re a terrible person if you willingly allow someone to be raped and abused.

I realize that's not a perfect comparison, but bottom line, I think if it has been established that a person entered the country illegally, they aren't deserving of hearings and appeals for months or years while remaining in our country illegally. I don't see how they have any such right, and I don't think that was ever the intent of the constitution.

Someone breaks into your house, it’s personal, you know that person is there to steal from you or likely do you harm. The comparison reduces immigrants to criminal intruders. Wildly inaccurate. Folks may be fleeing violence, oppression, poverty to get here to seek a better life.

How did we get America? We showed up and took it, claimed it as our own. And native Americans, who never claimed ownership of the land, was a complete foreign concept to them to own land…got booted. The writers of the constitution set this whole system up, this way, for a reason. We were travelers at one point, too.


And if you’re of a spiritual nature, in the gospel of Matt, he says “I was a stranger in your land and you welcomed me”. Not hauled my ### back to El Salvador and threw me in the worlds now most notorious prison.

So let’s throw that analogy in the trash. What Trump is doing is flat phukking wrong. Evil. As citizens, let’s get his a$$ out of there and elect reasonable people that can work together and create a solid immigration policy that doesn’t allow free flow of everyone not American and establish a process where those coming here to find a better life can be treated fairly and be dealt with justly and respectfully.

regard: People are illegally where they don't belong, and in many cases we don't need a court hearing to know that.

No, you don't know that the people who break into your house are there to hurt you. They may just be hungry. They may have an addiction that makes them behave irrationally. They may be on the streets due to personal tragedy. They may need help. Either way, such people don't have the right to be where they don't belong, and should expect to be removed.

I agree we can't kick down random doors in random searches and kidnap random people and send them packing all because somebody said they were illegal.

At the other extreme, I don't think people who enter illegally should be allowed to abuse the system by staying here while they wait years for a hearing, or just disappear and fail to show up for hearings. Accepting that is not an answer.

Somewhere in the middle is a workable, just way to not reward illegal entry. That starts with acknowledging that people who enter illegally in the first place don't belong here, and should be deported. Then, and ONLY THEN should we discuss what to do from there; observing and protecting their rights under the law is part of that, with the goal being deporting them.

For the record, I am all for system-wide reform to address all of this.

So yes, the start by breaking our immigration laws. The say "#### the process, #### the law". Then, from that point, they obey all laws and keep their nose clean.

I think a lot of people believe such people should be allowed to stay, and not deported. I don't agree in most cases, but I'd like to here their thinking, so that's why I asked, so it's not ridiculous.

Deporting law-abiding, productive members of society doesn't serve a country any good. Just because they committed a misdemeanor doesn't undo all the good they've done in the example you gave. But, technically, it doesn't make them exempt from deportation.

Illegal entry isn't even a misdemeanor. His under-the-table construction work prior to 2019 can be a misdemeanor, but the people who hired him are more culpable according to law; they can't really charge him without charging the people who hired him.
