> Why is HN suddenly in favour of an illegant immigrant and domestic abuser who punched his wife and who had taken a protective order against him ?
whatever allegations against him are irrelevant. This is a FREE country whole society is predicated on rule of law. you cannot have liberty and law & order without DUE Process. That he didn't get that is the issue REGARDLESS of his citizenship status or prior crimes.
Confirmed crimes are not allegations. He entered the USA illegally - without "due process". He is a member of a foreign terrorist organization. He was even arrested in the company of MS-13 gang members with long criminal records.
If you are talking about rule of law and "due process", you must honestly bow and congratulate the now effective immigration law-enforcement. Finally "due process" is being followed, after 4 years of being asleep at the wheel, not enforcing federal law, deliberately breaking formal oaths of service and mockingly lying to Congress under oath.
Elizabeth Kessler - the immigration judge declared in charge of his case declared that this man's release in the USA would endanger the public since "evidence shows that he is a verified member of MS-13.". Hell, even an appeals court later affirmed the judge's decision.
A violent gang member was deported to his nation of origin following the ruling made by an immigration judge and even subsequent appeal. The executive branch of the US government then performed according to mandate and deported him accordingly.
> He entered the USA illegally - without "due process".
a judge put him on a DO NOT DEPORT order. whatever his means of initially entering the united states was, he obtained. LEGAL status.
> "evidence shows that he is a verified member of MS-13."
was there a TRIAL where this "evidence" was presented and deliberated? until that happens, I can't support incarcerating this man, to say nothing of sending him to a foreign gulag.
> Finally "due process" is being followed, after 4 years of being asleep at the wheel
No, the due process in place was a system by which someone who is here illegally could gain legal status. thats what harm reduction looks like. The due process you're talking about would have had him deported to another country. Not sent to a death camp. There was no legislation for sending people to a life sentence for merely being associated with ms 13.
> Its not complicated.
you're right, its not. Yet you're really not gettin this.

Let's not muddy the waters. The only crime Garcia committed was entering the US at 16 years old to flee a gang in El Salvador. Garcia has never been charged or convicted for any crimes in any country [1].
> Elizabeth Kessler - the immigration judge declared in charge of his case declared that this man's release in the USA would endanger the public since "evidence shows that he is a verified member of MS-13.". Hell, even an appeals court later affirmed the judge's decision.
And that judge's "evidence" contradicted by the DOJ [1][2]:
>> The GFIS explained that the only reason to believe Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was a gang member was that he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie; and that a confidential informant advised that he was an active member of MS-13 with the Westerns clique. ...
>> According to the Department of Justice and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the “Westerns” clique operates in Brentwood, Long Island, in New York, a state that Plaintiff Abrego Garcia has never lived in.
> Due process was followed.
> Its not complicated.
It's very complicated, except for the fact that due process was not followed. Garcia had a protective order specifically against being sent to El Salvador [1]:
> He argued, as the government has since admitted, that his removal was illegal because an immigration judge had granted him “withholding of removal” to El Salvador due to his “well-founded fear of future persecution” there from a violent gang known as Barrio 18.
And on the matter of appeals courts, a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals judge (J. Harvie Wilkinson III, appointed by Reagan) who in the past ruled in favor of sending an American citizen to Guantanamo with no charges has decided that Garcia was incorrectly removed to El Salvador and that the Trump administration is defying the Supreme Court order to facilitate his return [3].

Those "margaritas" appear to have been staged by Bukele [1].
> "When I first sat down with Kilmar, there were just glasses of water on the table," Van Hollen explained. "Then, someone from the Salvadoran government came over and placed two glasses with ice and sugar—or salt—on the rims, clearly staged to look like margaritas."
> "If you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid," Van Hollen said. "To try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out of it."
...
> Van Hollen noted that drinking a salt or sugar-rimmed glass would leave a gap. But on the photos shared by Bukele, there is no gap—evidence, he said, that neither he nor Abrego García touched the alleged margaritas.

The only alarm emergency is the hand-wringing hysteria.
