~~Please be accurate when you criticize the administration. No US citizen has been sent to El Salvador.~~

~~The guy the SC told Trump to get back was a legal immigrant, and a citizen of El Salvador.~~

Edit: Well. I'm embarrassed. I misread the meme and my brain skipped the "married to a" part.

Hey entwine, just an FYI -- Kilmar Ábrego García was not a legal immigrant. He was an illegal immigrant (of course, this doesn't mean he was charged with a crime) who was granted a protection from deportation to El Salvador by a US judge on the grounds that he would be in danger from El Salvadorean gangs. He has had a work permit since 2019.

Nevertheless, he was not granted due process and this administration is violating court orders.

Nevertheless, I misread the meme which never said he was a US citizen, so I was talking out of my ass.

I'm pretty sure they edited it when you pointed out the inaccuracy
