Kilmar Abrego Garcia said he suffered severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation and psychological torture in the notorious El Salvador prison the Trump administration had deported him to in March, according to court documents filed Wednesday.

He said he was kicked and hit so often after arrival that by the following day, he had visible bruises and lumps all over his body. He said he and 20 others were forced to kneel all night long and guards hit anyone who fell.

    For a recent example, they said the president cannot deport people under the Alien Enemies Act and that the government needs to give people a reasonable timeline to get a lawyer and mount a legal defense.

    And then said,“But we can’t make him stop ignoring us”

    What happens if in a couple of months, the federal government just sends some people to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act- directly ignoring the SC?

    Nothing at all.

    Or the military parade… or the tariffs… defunding NOAA hoping for a destructive hurricane, etc. It’s chaos for the sake of chaos. Same reason they deported the Venezuelans in the first place without habeas corpus.

    I think it’s more about building up the dictatorship, so nothing stands in his way.

    You or I may not agree with the SC on every ruling. But the individuals on there, for the most part, are scholars of the constitution and hold a deep respect for it. It’s why even people like Kavanaugh who was appointed by Trump will sometimes rule against his interests.

    This is a fucking laughable joke. You’re kidding, right?

    We may disagree on some interpretations but these people genuinely believe in the rule of law. This will inevitably clash with the administration.

    lol, ok. Which law? Bible law? Trump law?

      Your response provides very little substance. If I were you I’d ask myself why am I spending my valuable time discussing things online if I’m not really engaging.

      You really only hurt yourself in the long run with this type of attitude. I hope you’re a teenager because then it’s understandable. Either way unless you engage more than a “lol ok” I’ll save my toilet time for something else.

        The substance is “Judges aren’t checking him, and have stated they cannot”

        Nah, pushing 50, and have seen this dog and pony show get worse since the 80’s, with people saying, “Don’t worry! Our system will keep things in check!” as all of the checks are discarded.

        Let me guess, just vote bloo no matter hoo, right?
