Looks like if you re approached by ICE, you need to assume it's a kidnapping.

No gang ties, no criminal history, not even from that country.

We are the baddies.

Not a cartoon anymore.

According to the original article, he was here legally waiting until their court date in 2027 to see a judge. He is not a US citizen, but he also is not an “illegal alien.”

No alleged history of crime. No crime in process when detained. Was following the immigration process.

If anyone wants to argue with you about others who have been detained and deported as being “criminals” or “illegals,” this should be evidence to the fact that it isn’t true and ICE doesn’t care. We’re in the slippery slope now.

Lol, the "fairness meter" says unfair left leaning. The article is literally just stating what occurred. ❄️

Well Trump essentially made it official yesterday that even if someone is imprisoned by mistake it will not be reversed

Forcibly remove first, ask questions later is going to soon end up kidnapping random people out of the country...

Conservative excuses and goalposts will adapt as we go along:

• but look, he was supposed to be deported anyway (Abrego Garcia)
• doesn't matter that he has a valid asylum case, he came here illegally so he should be kicked out (Gutiérrez)
• If you don't want to support America, you shouldn't have a green card (Mahdawi)
• he looks like he came from out of the country and he helps illegal migrants anyway, too bad he's a US citizen
• these were people spewing violent rhetoric about Trump and America, take them out of the country if they don't want to be here
• hey wait, this is a mistake!? (future kidnapped Conservative)

Wilmer Gutiérrez last spoke to his son on March 16 during a brief call allowed by police. He had spent days searching for information, visiting police stations and courthouses, only to be told there was no record of his son.

I'm gonna guess this sort of thing is more the rule than the exception. The goal isn't to deport actual gang members, it's to signal a tough-on-illegal-immigration policy without the challenge that comes with actually deporting people who aren't trying to be found. So they just deport law abiding people who are easier to find because the reality doesn't matter.

If anybody is wondering what conservatives think, they haven't yet gotten their instructions for this particular case yet

Can somebody shoot the ICE agents already? Your stupid guns are all show. No difference whether you have any at all...

Both the American and El Salvadoran heads of state have stated that neither is able to return people sent from the US to CECOT.

In other words, this man will die in CECOT.

Insane.

Are American law enforcement just reading Nazi history and emulating it at this point?

"Oh yeah, they did this in 1942 so we should do that too!! ... Kristallnacht? ... oh yeah, we gotta do that one too! ... and book burnings and maybe a giant parade or a mass rally with flags and shit"

I wonder how long until someone in Trump’s circle suggests they have people wearing symbols on their shirts so they can’t make these mistakes anymore?
