The whole reason you put concentration camps in a foreign nation is to remove them from SCOTUS jurisdiction. Then you get to sit back and say, "We can't compel a sovereign state," while the sovereign state gets to sit back and say, "We'd gladly return these people, if only POTUS would ask." Just one capo doing a favor for a fellow capo, somehow neither one of them able to do the right thing.
You want to talk about concentration camps? We're already expanding our own Black Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That's nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It's in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by...well, you get it.
Gitmo is expensive, like $10M/prisoner/year expensive, and still at least nominally subject to US laws, though watered down by being a military facility. Outsourcing to El Salvador gets them massive cost savings and complete liberation from judicial oversight. They may still work on Gitmo, but I expect El Salvador to be the go-to camp now. Discount Gitmo. All they have to do is get you there - get you in the air to there - and you become a stateless, rights-less slave.
I suspect Gitmo will be reserved for the high profile prisoners that would cause too much outcry - celebrities, elected politicians, wealthy resistors, etc. The ones they don't care about will go to El Salvador.
It was an administrative error. There is a valid deportation order for that man. There is also a withholding order which only applies to El Salvador. The only mistake in the deportation was the destination.
ICE already admitted the man was deported in error. So why are you making up stuff? These facts are easy to check, I can only assume you're either a troll or a foreign agitator.
The Trump administration already admitted this was an administrative error. I said that as well. Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote.
There is no deportation order for him you buffoon otherwise ICE wouldn't have confirmed he was deported in error. Do you think the admin error was thinking there was an error? How do you make those leaps in logic?
It's MAGOO logic - feelings over facts. Even fucking CBS News has it straight.

First, someone cannot be granted withholding of removal without having an order of removal. The immigration judge must first determine that the person is removable, and then the person can apply for withholding.
Second, the withholding of removal is limited to El Salvador, which means he can be deported to other countries.
As such, the error is the destination only
Do you have some sources for this? There's so much emotional baggage with this its hard to get to the facts.
In my mind saying the only mistake is the destination Is an incredible understatement.
"The only issue with your heart transplant is we had a paperwork mixup and replaced your liver instead."
"I know you came in for just a vehicle safety inspection but our mechanics messed up and replaced your engine, here's the bill."
"We had a mix up at the hospital and the child you've raised for 3 years isn't actually yours. Our bad, but there's nothing we can do to fix it and there's nothing we're going to do to prevent it in the future. Good luck!"
Don't downplay this shit and fall into dehumanizing others because they must have done something to deserve the position they are in. Don't lose sight of empathy. Try pretending it's a loved of yours. If one of mine fucked up and deserve punishment then fine, but there better be a fair trial and they deserve their chance to prove their innocence.
There is a valid and effective deportation order. For deportation purpose, there was no need to prove him guilty at the criminal court. If he was deported to another country, this would be completely in compliance.
You need to provide me exactly what you disagree with. Doesn't make sense for me to provide you sources for every fact in this matter.
They've admitted there was an error, and are not being transparent in the extent of the error nor are they trying to correct the error. I dispute every fact in this matter because the main source I believe you are using are the people at fault for it. They aren't even doing the common curtsey of an "internal investigation" reach around that typical police do after they've fuck us.
It doesn't make sense that you wouldn't throw out a couple random sources to your claims since it's cut and dry in your mind. Show me the valid deportation order. Show me the evidence they used to forgo immigration court (why the fuck would he be in criminal court?) to have an expidited removal to a place a previous court said he could not go.
It's easy to prove us stupid ass sheeple wrong, fucking do it...
I suppose you don't have any direct evidence to support your argument either.

This brings up a lot of questions. Are you going to continue to deflect?
No way I would address everything in here. You would need to bring up a few specific points and not pages of documents.
You deflected after I brought up a few specific points insinuating I have no direct evidence. I call your bluff with some direct evidence and now we are back to you need specific points.
Please consider the possibility you are being lied to. It takes way more time then us Americans have to look for primary sources and form our own opinions. Guess what though, we once again need to do the impossible and pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. We need to look at the facts from the primary sources ourselves and draw our own conclusions. Any fuckwit with a microphone can claim they read the documents and spew whatever bullshit they want without reproduction. Shit is changing fast, you cannot deny that. We best be fucking sure we are not heading in a direction that leads to the loss of rights for us in the bottom 99.watever %
You have not even brought up specific points that you disputed about the matter.
Lmafo. Okay bud..
