…when members of Congress visited El Salvador, they were respected armed with international laws, treaties, and conventions.

File in El Salvador
(Click here)
We already know Americans all over the world travel and get in trouble without even trying. The answer to their plight is to take it up with the court systems where they are held. That is not dissimilar to the answer by the Supreme Court in regard to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. However, the issue with Mr. Garcia grew into something bigger, contempt of court by Trump. And it was King Trump in defiance, not the DOJ.
I sincerely believe the Venezuelans are imperil as El Salvador intends a prisoner swap that will result in death at the hands of Maduro. I also believe at that point Trump falls into peril at the ICC. The ACLU of a correct in that returning the Venezuelans to the USA as a DOCUMENTED protected population of people needs to happen now. I also believe this issue has multi-fronts, including El Salvador, Venezuela, and the ICC. I think the Supreme Court has set precedent on this case. Why they kept it in the USA is odd to me. That is not a real world experience to protect and save the lives of Americans and in this case coveted Immigrants.
To be clear. I think what Trump did involving other countries in his chosen bigotry and racism is explosive to say the least. Carter failed in Iran, but, this has similar qualities as to how far an intervention can go with potential to violence in crossing borders.
I am not a lawyer, but, to sincerely save the lives of protected Venezuelans may mean moving before the ICC involving the Presidents of El Salvador and Venezuela for what is being planned here. I also believe with acknowledgement of secret phone conversations on disappearing verbal communication such as with Hegseth, Trump has an element of suspicion to any death of these protected people.
All that said, I believe the Supreme Court closed the door on domestic orders regarding immigrants, including the children illegally removed from American fathers to Honduras. The hearings have to take place where the immigrants are held.
The deportation of protected people, including American born children, from this country is illegal. It is illegal from the president to Homan to ICE agents and any other law enforcement involved. I think Louisiana needs to stop being blind to illegal deportations, including Americans, and stop it. I believe legal criminal actions, as well as civil l, can be pursued against the same people, Trump, Homan, ICE agents and any other law enforcement involved.
That said expedited hearings in El Salvador before the courts need to start to prevent further abuse of people protected by this country. Protected status was granted to them. That is an international recognition of long standing civil disruptions in Venezuela that citizens of that country flee for their lives.
The Venezuelans were protected through our immigration system through asylum as well as Presidential order under President Biden. It is amazing how King Trump expects his presidential decrees to be respected when he does not respect those of others because of his seething hatred.
The human beings caged in El Salvador can be defended from further persecution in foreign courts. We have done this before in many other countries with their own habeas standards with the full weight of American mortality and the ICC staring them in the face.
The ACLU has a noble reason for their persistence. They must succeed. They should be supported because the next deportation could be anyone.
