NEW: In a court filing this evening, the Trump administration said that it had mistakenly deported a Maryland father to a notorious Salvadoran prison due to an "administrative error." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is horrifying shit. This entire administration and all the Republicans who enable this kind of disgraceful stuff need to rot in hell. America has lost its soul to these soulless psychopaths.

This is the very reason due process exists. To minimize the chances that administrative errors like this result in irreparable harm to an individuals life and liberty. These are crimes against humanity. Trump, Noem, Holman and all acting in concert with them will rot in hell over this atrocity.

Then correct your mistake. Bring him back from El Salvador (you’re paying them to take the deportees, so tell them to give him back). The courts need to start ordering the administration to correct its mistakes and provide proper notice and due process or impose huge fines and sanctions.

I don't believe el Salvador accepted them in the first place. So they were never in the system. Which I know is a weak argument for why the others can't be brought back too.

If El Salvador is being paid by the US to keep these prisoners there must be a written agreement establishing this relationship. Certainly there should be wording in the document to cover the return of prisoners at the discretion of the US. Right? How can the US get away with saying oops--too bad?
