Is it for PR reasons?
Is it because he didn’t have tattoos?
Or is it because this administration want to make a show out of it?
Surely, they didn’t just let him have a court hearing out of the kindness of their hearts. What is the administration’s motive of even obeying the court orders to not deport Mr. Khalil (for now, at least)? Since they have been violating other court orders, why are they even following some court orders at all, while ignoring others?
This administration is so puzzling to me… 🧐
If I had to guess, it’s probably because his family was able to lawyer up quickly (either because they could afford it, or knew someone who would work the case for free). Courts can’t act here unless someone files a case over it. There might be other people with valid legal cases to challenge their detention, but if they can’t get their hands on timely legal advice they’re just screwed.
I think this is it. The court documents were filed literally hours after his arrest. Others were sent to a special prison in Louisiana within 24 hours of arrest that apparently doesn’t need to follow normal laws and then deported not long after that. The government has been arguing that after someone is transferred to the Louisiana prison, normal court procedures don’t apply, causing people’s lawyers to be unable to stop deportation in time. Once someone is deported, the government has been arguing they can’t do anything about getting them back.
This special prison in Louisiana that does not need to follow normal laws… Is it protected by normal laws?
Nah they have special laws for that
I wonder if they know what the hell they’re doing. Or maybe they don’t care or keep track, it’s just “how much can we get away with this time”.
This week will be telling, unless dates get pushed back again in both cases. I guess we see if rule of law is just openly gone now, without even the usual pretenses.
they know exactly what they’re doing. They cause so much chaos at once that anyone who wants to fight back becomes too overwhelmed or spread too thin to do anything about it.
also since they’re the bourgeoisie, they can get away with the most war crimey stuff cause the court ruled that you can’t arrest sitting bourgeoisie people
I think he had a green card so he was a legal permanent resident. The other people had visas.
So, a US Person. Who has all the rights of a citizen sans voting and a few other specific things…
Not kind now till citizens end up this way
Abrego Garcia was a permanent resident though, so it becomes more confusing.
Wasn’t he arrested before these people? Also weren’t these people specifically targeted for being Venezuelan or from/near EL Salvador?
