So I had to look it up, and apparently Trump signed an EO on February 25th designating MS-13 as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization", which makes no sense because it's an American gang.
But that doesn't matter, because on March 15th Abrego Garcia was deported without ever having been proven to be a member of MS-13. No presumption of innocence, no charges filed, no access to a lawyer, no chance to ever argue his innocence in a court of law. You know, that whole "due process" thing that we used to care about.
Regardless of what you think of this man, his rights were violated. That means your rights were also violated, because if the rights of the US Constitution don't apply to everyone, then they don't apply to anyone.
I thought it was a Mexican gang? Isn’t it similar to what bush and obama did with sending terrorists to Guatemala?
Do you mean Guantanamo? Yeah, it's similar, and just as repulsive and illegal. In fact, what they did set the precedent for what Trump is doing.
Yes, Guantanamo. And I agree both are horrible and illegal
