Summary
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador to seek the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident wrongfully deported in March.
Abrego Garcia, married to a U.S. citizen with three children, was legally allowed to stay under a 2019 court order.
The Trump administration admitted his deportation was an “administrative error” but refused his return. The Supreme Court ruled against the administration 9-0.
In response, the White House launched a smear campaign against Van Hollen, framing Garcia as a gang member despite no charges or convictions.
out of the loop european here, what’s happening on April 23rd
Pretty sure that is the deadline before criminal contempt of court charges are brought. (several people are supposed to be arrested and put in jail)
April 23rd will be the first day that his administrations charges for obstruction of justice are delayed / postponed because [made up reason so the judge doesn’t have to do their job].
Just like happened last time.
And the time before.
And the time before.
What @[email protected] said, pretty much.
European too here, though with a special interest in all of this since I’m one of the closest europeans to the US, living right in the middle of the Atlantic. 🙂
