Judge to Trump Administration: I Feel Unfacilitated

Screenshot

After the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, I wrote a column disagreeing with the media coverage that claimed that the Trump Administration was ordered to return Garcia to the United States from El Salvador. The Administration mistakingly sent Garcia to a foreign prison. However, the Court only ordered that the Administration “facilitate” such a return, a term it failed to define. Now, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis is indicating that she feels unfacilitated, but it is unclear how a court should address this curious writ of facilitation.

After the ruling, many on the left claimed “Supreme Court in a unanimous decision: He has a legal right to be here, and you have to bring him back.”

The Court actually warned that the district court could order the government to facilitate but not necessarily “to effectuate” the return.

The application is granted in part and denied in part, subject to the direction of this order. Due to the administrative stay issued by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, the deadline imposed by the District Court has now passed. To that extent, the Government’s emergency application is effectively granted in part and the deadline in the challenged order is no longer effective. The rest of the District Court’s order remains in effect but requires clarification on remand. The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court’s order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court’s authority. The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps. The order heretofore entered by THE CHIEF JUSTICE is vacated.

So what does that mean? As I asked in the column, “what if the Trump Administration says that inquiries were made, but the matter has proven intractable or unresolvable? Crickets.”

The Administration has made clear that it views the orders as meaning that, if El Salvador brings Garcia to its doorstep, it must open the door.

The court clearly has a different interpretation.  Judge Xinis said yesterday,

“I’ve gotten nothing. I’ve gotten no real response, and no real legal justification for not answering,” she continued, adding that if the administration is not going to answer her questions “then justify why. That’s what we do in this house.”

There is nothing worse than a feeling of being unfacilitated, but how does the court measure good faith facilitation?

Garcia is an El Salvadorian citizen in an El Salvadorian prison. The refusal of El Salvador to send the accused MS-13 gang member back effectively ends the question on any return.

Many of us suspect that El Salvador would send back Garcia if asked, but how can a court measure the effort of an Administration in communications with a foreign country?

Judge Xinis is suggesting that she will be holding someone in contempt. However, this is a discussion occurring at the highest level. Would a formal request be enough?

Is Judge Xinis suggesting that the court can require punitive or coercive measures against a foreign country to facilitate a change in its position?

The fact is that a unanimous decision of the Court is not hard when no one can say conclusively what the order means. If Judge Xinis is going to move ahead with new orders, it will find its way back to the Supreme Court.

The Court clearly (and correctly) held that Garcia deserves due process and that this removal was a mistake. As I have previously stated, the Administration should have brought him back for proper deportation. I still believe that. However, the Court also held that the President’s Article II authority over foreign policy has to weigh heavily in such questions.

As the court goes down this road, it can quickly get bogged down in subjective judgments on what constitutes facilitation. That is the can kicked down the road by the Supreme Court and it is now likely to come rattling back to the justices.

  1. Looks like Kilmar’s cause célèbre status is falling apart, and gets worse by the day.

    https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/04/16/kilmar-abrego-garcia-ms-13-gang-member-history-violence

    He was arrested by Tennessee troopers with cash and smuggled illegals. I would presume, he did not find that job at Home Depot parking lot. Yet, he was let go per FBI request, meaning he was an informant at the time.

  2. (OT)

    Leftists have a thing for hyperinflating their own self worth.

    Here is Gayle King crowing about her ten-minute ride on Blue Origin:

    “We duplicated the same trajectory that Alan Shepard did back in the day [1961!], pretty much. No one called that a ‘ride’.” “It was called a flight, it was called a journey.”

    So if today you fly from St. Louis to the coast of Washington, and see the Pacific Ocean, that makes you a historic trailblazer, an intrepid adventurer — just like Lewis and Clark, pretty much.

  3. The US Immigration Court (within the Justice Department) ordered that Abrego not be deported to El Salvador. But its rulings are not enforceable in regular courts.

    People in the country illegally are not protected by the equal protection of the laws and due process rights of the 14th Amendment.

    The Supreme Court has ruled since Abrego’s removal that deportees under the Enemy Aliens Act wre entitled to a hearing.

    1) Was Abrego’s deportation actually unlawful? Just a glitch?

    2) Is Abrego entitled to a hearing?

    3) On what basis can a lower court judge decide that the government is “required to facilitate” Abrego’s return?

    4) Does “facilitation” simply refer to the creation of a process for discussing what constitutes facilitation? Or does it refer to
    a substantive easing of the obstacles to Abrego’s return?

    1. “The US Immigration Court (within the Justice Department) ordered that Abrego not be deported to El Salvador. But its rulings are not enforceable in regular courts.”

      They are enforceable. Rulings from an immigration court, are as valid as any other court. It was a Trump immigration court that issued that ruling.

      “People in the country illegally are not protected by the equal protection of the laws and due process rights of the 14th Amendment.”

      WRONG. Everyone within our borders IS protected by the 14th amendment. It does not say explicitly that only citizens are afforded those rights.

      “1) Was Abrego’s deportation actually unlawful? Just a glitch?”

      Yes, not a glitch.

      “2) Is Abrego entitled to a hearing?”

      Yes. Every one is entitled to a hearing.

      “3) On what basis can a lower court judge decide that the government is “required to facilitate” Abrego’s return?”

      On the same basis the Supreme Court just agreed on the correct ruling by the lower court. Plus the government’s admission that it made a mistake requires that it correct that mistake.

      “4) Does “facilitation” simply refer to the creation of a process for discussing what constitutes facilitation? Or does it refer to
      a substantive easing of the obstacles to Abrego’s return?”

      “Facilitation” means make it easier to bring about his return and make every effort to bring him back to properly adjudicate the facts of the case and correct the government’s mistake. Trump or Rubio both have the power to influence El Salvador to return him. They have the means to “encourage” El Salvador to return him. They just flat out don’t want to thus defying both the lower court, federal court, and the Supreme Court.

      It’s notable that the Trump administration is having trouble defending the case and it’s attempt to “prove” Garcia is indeed a gang member is reliant on two documents that are thin on evidence and reliabiliy.

      1. The Supreme Court ruled on enforcement of Immigration Court decisions and on 14th Amendment coverage of people in the country illegally before this questionable deportation. The SCOTUS ruled afterwards on the applicability of the Enemy Aliens Act.

        The issue of whether DHS acted unlawfully in ignoring the Immigration Court is not settled.

    2. As my pappy used to say when we were acting like crybabies” I will give you something to cry about” just before he bent us over his knee and spanked us.

    3. #. Release of US custody, not return. Just release the custody to El salvador. Facilitate would mean sign a paper in this case. Scotus spelled it out…

      Bondi terminated the not returned to El salvador, certainly.

  4. “Asylum” is the Democratic immigration law that was passed to obtain more Democratic voters.

    “Asylum” is a fraud.

    “Asylum” is big.

    “Asylum” is a lie.

    “Asylum” is the Big Lie that will be told repeatedly.

    “Asylum” is Too Big To Fail.

  5. #. Professor Turley says he thinks bring him back and properly deport. What do you do with judges Kessler and Jones finding garcia is MS 13? In addition , García said he could not return to El Salvador because ( Barrio 18) would kill him? Barrio 18 kills MS 13 members and vice versa. This was 2019 and contemporaneously Bill Barr travels to El salvador and upgrades MS 13 as terrorists as El salvador had done in 2015.

    Bukele has cleaned up El salvador but the incarcerated MS 13s continue to direct members in the US and Mexico. It couldn’t be more serious. The DJT is utilizing the knowledge of Bukele in his clean up to instruct the admin to clean up the US.

    It’s serious and Bukele can’t be purchased. It’s not going to happen. Bondi made it clear and scotus understands the US cannot effectuate it and is not responsible for a decision by a sovereign foreign nation.

    Garcia, Mangione are the dems heroes. Hopefully their are enough people who believe in the US to carry it through this treasonous time.

    1. “It’s serious and Bukele can’t be purchased.”

      LOL! Bukele has already been purchased. Trump paid him $6million to imprison these immigrants in El Salvador.

      “Bondi made it clear and scotus understands the US cannot effectuate it and is not responsible for a decision by a sovereign foreign nation.”

      Bondi is an idiot. The US can indeed effectuate his return. Just like they can effectuate the return of anyone through diplomatic negotiations and monetry incentives. Trump does it all the time.

      1. Effectuate his release from US custody and he’s duly deported since bondi terminated the do not deport to El salvador. He’s is Salvadoran custody.

        Be careful what you wish for..

  6. Who is picking up the tab for these many suits against the administration?

    Who is paying and where are they getting their money? China?

  7. Judge to Trump Administration: I Feel Unfacilitated

    Possibly Turley’s best headline yet.

  8. OT, the highest court in the UK has ruled that, for purposes of that nation’s equality act, biological males who identify as female are not actually women. I guess the court believes science is real. A rare breath of sanity from across the pond.

    1. What is tragically ironic is the it took the Supreme Court to figure out what a 3 year old already knows.

      It is a rare breath of sanity, I agree.

      I have a feeling that if the activists and purveyors of this insanity (trans madness, violence and TDS) it would be a smaller minority. If they were taken away, the world would calm down considerably. The stirrers of strife are not in the majority but they are dangerous.

  9. The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.

    As I think about the concept of the US Government “facilitating Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador,” I am left to wonder if that has any coherent meaning. The release of a citizen of El Salvador from a prison located in El Salvador and run by the government of El Salvador, would appear to be a matter internal to the nation of El Salvador, with the US having no authority to cause it to happen or prevent it from happening.

    In that context, “facilitate” cannot mean anything more than “don’t try to block it.” I don’t think there’s any evidence the Trump admin is trying to block it. To the contrary, Bukele said yesterday that Garcia is a “terrorist” and belongs in prison, so clearly it’s not as if the government of El Salvador is struggling to release him and somehow being blocked by Trump.

    The conclusion seems inescapable, then, that the Trump admin is complying with the district court’s order as refined by Scotus, doesn’t it?

    1. “In that context, “facilitate” cannot mean anything more than “don’t try to block it.””

      That was my interpretation of “facilitate” in this context from the moment I read about the court order.

    2. # it gets very clear when
      –> release from US custody. He’s duly deported or proceed as usual . ..he’s in el Salvadoran custody at that point and deported.

      It was spelled out.

  10. Judges, “journalists,” Democratic officials, pundits, et al. defending Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia are “adhering to the Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort,” and committing treason against the United States.
    _____________________________

    Article 3, Section 3

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

  11. Jonathan: In re Kilmar Abrego Garcia there are no visitation rights at Pres. Bukele’s dungeon in El Salvador. Not even for a US Senator. Senator Chris Van Hollen found that out today when he asked to visit AG who is being unlawfully detailed. Van Hollen asked Felix Ulloa, the VP of El Salvador, why AG was still being held. Ulloa could only reply that the DJT regime was paying his government to hold AG and it was unlikely Van Hollen would ever get to visit AG. Van Hollen said the US embassy in San Salvador told him they have received no “instructions” re the release of AG.

    The DJT regime has no intention of complying with court orders–even if they come from the SC of the US! But that’s what fascist regimes do. They intentionally flout the rule of law expecting no pushback. But Judges Xinis and Boasberg are pushing back and we will soon see who first blinks!

    P.S. Bloomberg is reporting today that Chinese refiners are importing record amounts of Canadian crude oil after slashing purchases of US oil by roughly 90% amid DJT’s insane tariff wars. Looks like economic power is now shifting from the US to China, Canada and other countries. If DJT wants to make a deal with China it will be on their terms! But if you believe the MAGA supporters of DJT on this blog he knows what he is doing. Oh, really?

      1. Me too. Regime must be the new talking point word du jour.

        The new strategy from the tone deaf left is to bash the President of the United States no matter what. They offer (nor in the recent past) no solutions so they undermine at every turn.

        These are the true insurrectionists.

    1. It would be great if the unfacilitated judge and all the Dems in Congress (except for Fetterman) joined Sen. No Brains Van Halen in El Salvador – that would be great. They could all take a knee for the cameras in support of the “father of the year” wife-beater and stay down there for a while. Maybe they could be guests for a while in CECOT – to show support for the wife-beater.

    2. #. Sorry Dennis, no one is part of the lucky ones. Grow a garden if you can and put up a cyclone fence with Rottweilers.

      And ye shall have less than ye had before…

      Enjoy Denis

    3. “. . . Pres. Bukele’s dungeon in El Salvador.”

      El Salvador was the “murder capital of the world.”

      Under President Bukele, it is now one of the safest countries in the world.

      For Leftists, who sympathize with criminals, those jails are “dungeons.” For the civilized, who sympathize with the innocent, those jails protect us from rabid animals.

    1. Oldman– He also beat the crap out of his wife. But to our degraded media he will be the victim.

      1. Young – to our degraded Democratic senators and congressmen as well.

        https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blue-state-senator-flies-el-salvador-visit-deported-migrant-prison-only-denied

        This is the hill they want to die on: going to bat for a vicious gang-banger and wife-beater. About as demented as saying biological males should be beating the crap out of girls in female sports and invading their locker rooms and showers. The Dem party is clinically insane. Its politicians and activists are mentally ill.

      2. Proof? If he is abusive, why is his American citizen wife fighting for his return? OTOH, according to Ivana’s sworn deposition testimony, DJT beat her up when she didn’t display enough sympathy for his post operative pain after scalp reduction surgery.

        1. The wife filed for a protective order. She says “no marriage is perfect,” meaning the abuse happened. She says the abuse is not a “justification” for the deportation meaning the abuse happened.

          Ever hear of battered women syndrome?

          Even if it’s not that, his wife admits the abuse happened. Take off your rose colored glasses and face reality. If you want to argue it wasn’t a good reason to deport him (even though that’s not the reason he was deported), then fine. But don’t claim it didn’t happen when his wife herself admits it happened and even filed for a protective order.

          1. #. I’ve seen moslem men hall off and hit their shrouded chattle with a closed fist while the chattle sat in the back seat of the Mercedes with his other chattle.

            The chattle slumped in pain grasping her face.

            Let’s not forget the elevator punch by Ray Rice and she said nothing is perfect.

          2. Good answer, but it was two protective orders she filed.

            And, yeah, likely battered woman syndrome.

            He has already had his due process and been ordered to be deported by a court.

            I can understand why the Democrats are upset…he’s the loss of another voter.

            Democrats are now the Bud Lite of political cults.

            1. “but it was two protective orders she filed”

              I thought I read it was one order that covered two incidents. Not that the underlying principle would differ it that was true.

            2. yes – but the Dems are still going to shriek and moan and wail and scream every day

              because

              1) they want to somehow bash Trump for deporting illegals who are gang members, wife-beaters, criminals – in other words, poster boys for Dems – and at the same time, they will claim “due process” – another empty phrase for them

              2) they want to slow things down in their effort to deconstruct the US

              and the idiots in the media – the midiots – will go along with it

              fortunately, people are much smarter than than that

              PS Apparently, the Dems are thinking of having Dem caravans into El Salvador – they think it’s great publicity

              Illegals were not vetted when Papa Biden told them to come here illegally – now the Dems claim that every illegal has to be vetted in order to be deported

        2. In the filing, written in Vasquez’s own handwriting, she alleges Abrego Garcia repeatedly beat her, writing: “At this point, I am afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he [has] left me.”

          Gigi, stop lying!

    2. Those “receips” have been debunked long ago. The crediblity of the informant has not been verified and the the wearing of clothing does is not enough to prove membership in a gang. There’s also the problem of no criminial records on Garcia. Remember, cops and lie with impunity legally.

      Plus there’s the problem of the immigration court order protecting him from removal. He was protected from removal by a Trump immigration court in 2019.

  12. These judges are becoming so autocratic and so unreasonable and so unpopular that they are creating a trap for themselves.

    Each branch of government takes an oath to the Constitution and each has an independent right and duty to interpret it.

    Could it be that the interpretation of the President is superior to that of any district court or appellate court?

    May it be that Marbury only applies to interpretations by the Supreme Court [narrowly and weakly] and not even then when there is an emergency?

    The executive has historically gone along with district courts and appellate courts for good reasons that fall short of Constitutional necessity.

    But with radical, lawless judges on the bench, they who pretend to presidential powers, the time for executive courtesy may be coming to an end.

    There was a hint of this possibility when the President was asked if he respected the courts and he said he respected the Supreme Court. He left his opinion of the lesser courts and what he intends for them to the imagination.

    If he decides to step on some of these lesser robed tyrants much of the country will cheer.

    If Congress decides it can dispense with some of these wayward institutions, the country will cheer.

    President Trump is clearly on the side of Main Street America and those of us who live here.

    It is not at all clear whose side these Obama judges are on, alien criminals for sure, but it is clear that they are not on the side of the law or on the side of ordinary Americans. They are unmoved when Americans are tortured or murdered by these invaders.

    Maybe these judges truly want a revolution akin to the doped fever dreams of their university days. But they have no tanks.

    1. Maybe Trump should start housing these violent criminals in the judges’ immediate neighborhoods. Then they might see the truth about the violence and destruction they are promoting. Until then, it’s all academic for these judges.

  13. The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.

    Supreme Court of 1869—Secession is not prohibited; therefore, secession is prohibited.

    Supreme Court of 1973—Abortion is a federal, constitutional right.

    …and so on, and so on, and so on.

  14. Calling it a “serious breach of the Department of Justice’s code of conduct,” Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that she had terminated a career DOJ employee who was caught with a copy of the U.S. Constitution on his desk.

    Bondi said that the employee, who had worked at the department for 37 years, had “raised suspicions” by using “telltale phrases like ‘due process’” in DOJ memos.

    At Bondi’s direction, US marshals ransacked his office, discovered the offending document, and frog-marched him out of the building.

    Bondi took the opportunity to remind all DOJ staffers that the U.S. Constitution is on the Republican Party’s banned reading list.

  15. THE MEXICAN, CENTRAL, AND SOUTH AMERICAN DREAM

    THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE

    “Asylum” is the most prodigious deception in modern American history.

    Every illegal alien invader must be prosecuted for flagrant and egregious fraud.

    Perhaps 100 or 1,000 are in some degree of jeopardy, but not 15 or 20 million.

  16. The father of Daisy, the second little girl to die of measles in Texas, tells Robert F. Kennedy Jr-founded anti-vaccine group, Children’s Health Defense, that he doesn’t regret not getting her vaccinated, and won’t vaccinate any future children. CHD turns it into propaganda.

    So let me get this straight.

    They can put a woman in prison for having an abortion, but you can openly state your intent to let your kids die from a preventable disease and it’s perfectly fine.

    1. Pro-life from the moment of conception to the moment of birth, but after that you are on your own baby !!!

      Perfectly fine for your parents to kill you by neglect.

      1. Not that I would have any clue what a woman is because I dont dig women! Come to think of it men dont dig me! That pet cat of mine is looking better and better

        1. It is odd though that none of the men on Grindr will reply to my butt pics. Maybe I should ask Gigi for his pics? Thoughts?

    2. ATS facts matter, and god forbid you should actually provide or know any of them.

      RFK jr. kids have been vaccinated against Measles.

      That said, measles was essentially eradicated in the US – until we started this mass illegal immigration nonsense.
      Even in the 19th century when we had something close to open borders you still had to be checked by Doctors before you could enter the US, and if there was even a hint of health issues – you were quarantied.

      In the past 4 years between 11 and 22M illegal immigrants have entered the US – because the left is so ludicrously stupid and lawless – we do not even know how many plus or minus 10M. A small portion of those illegal immigrants are bringing deseases with them – often diseases that were eradicated in the US. That US citizens have little immunity to.

      Measles was erradicated in the US and the developed world, and but for illegal immigration there is really no need to vaccinate children in the US just as we do not vaccinate for smallpox or Polio anymore.

      I know this is lost on left wing nuts, but vaccination is NOT good for you, Too many vaccinations is harmful to your immune system.
      Further like nearly all drugs and treatment a small percent of people are harmed – even die from medical treatment.
      Vaccines are among the most harmful of normal medical treatments and we typicaly vaccinate children – where the harm would be the greatest.
      Most of us are fine with terminally ill people taking dangerous treatments by choice.

      It is different to subject healthy children to treatment that itself has a risk of harm including deaththat is higher than the probability of getting the disease and then being harmed by it, since 1997 the number of measles cases in the US has averaged about 50/yr.
      in 2020 it was down to 13.
      about 1/1000 measles cases is fatal. There are a fairly large number of deaths of children within 15 days of vaccination each year.
      But it is very hard to ascertain whether those are caused by the vaccination – as children die of a variety of issues, sometimes the same ones that Vaccines are associated with.

      Regardless anaphalaxis is a common side effect of many vaccines – including ghe MMR and covid vaccine and people do die from it.
      The risk of death from vaccine side effects is extremely low – but a very low risk times abotu 5 million children a year can exceed the number of deaths from measles – which has a higher mortality rate but was declared eliminated in the US 25 years ago.

      The goal of public health should be eradicating these diseases and ENDING vaccination for them – because vaccination itself is NOT risk free.

      I have no idea where your abortion nonsense came from – it is typical of left wing nuts to make the most absurd analogies.

      Regardless holding a parent criminally responsible for
      something that a child in the US has a 1 in a million chance of being infected by, and if infected a 1 in 1000 case of dying from.
      Or about a 1 in a billion chance of dying from if they do not get vaccinated,

      And abortion where there is a 100% chance that the fetus will die – that is the entire objective of abortion.
      If the fetus lived that would be an UNSUCCESSFUL abortion.

      We can debate all kinds of things about abortion.

      But nearly every state in the US has laws that make it murder for people to kill the fetus in a pregnant woman.

      If you cause an automobile accident and it results in the death of a fetus of a pregnant woman – you could be charged with homocide by vehicle.

      These laws are not uniform from state to state with most states not criminalizing deaths early in the pregancy.

      What is still true is that in most states causing the death for fetus is a serious crime – unless you are the pregnant woman.

      1. John Say

        Once again John Say treats us to another litany of lies and falsehoods.
        The information he provides come directly from the voices he hears in his head.

        He says, “A small portion of those illegal immigrants are bringing diseases with them – often diseases that were eradicated in the US. That US citizens have little immunity to.”

        The reality is that diseases that have been eradicated in the US have been eradicated because people have been vaccinated, AND HAVE IMMUNITY !!!!.

        The statement that people in the US have little immunity because diseases have been eradicated is utterly absurd and self-contradictory. The eradication of diseases only occurs when the vast majority is immune from vaccination.

        John Say says, “Measles was eradicated in the US and the developed world, and but for illegal immigration there is really no need to vaccinate children in the US just as we do not vaccinate for smallpox or Polio anymore.”

        The reality is that measles has never been eradicated anywhere. It was declared eliminated in the US only because of the high rates of elimination. This does not mean it has been eradicated.

        John Say continues with the utterly absurd assertion that we don’t need to vaccinate children for measles just as we do not vaccinate against polio and smallpox anymore. This is absolutely insane.

        WE ABSOLUTELY DO STILL VACCINATE AGAINST POLIO BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN ERADICATED. !!!!

        The only true statement is that we do not vaccinate against smallpox, because it really has been eradicated. The last known case was in 1977.

        How was smallpox eradicated ????

        BY VACCINATION !!!!

        The statement, “The goal of public health should be eradicating these diseases and ENDING vaccination for them – because vaccination itself is NOT risk free” is completely and utterly absurd and self-contradictory.

        VACCINATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO ERADICATE INFECTIOUS DISEASE !!!

        The only reason disease such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, RSV, hemophilus, have been CONTROLLED is by vaccination. If vaccines had never been instituted, then these diseases would still be rampant, and the only way to avoid infection would be complete isolation from the outside world in a bubble.

        The idea that immigrants are bringing disease to the US is absurd.

        Even if this was true it would not be a problem IF EVERYONE WAS VACCINATED.

        There can be no transmission from immigrants to US people if they are all vaccinated.

        The rare side effects and complications of vaccines are infinitesimally less significant than suffering the diseases.

        When it comes to infectious disease a case anywhere is a case everywhere.

        1. In addition, the risk of death from measles infection is about 1 in 1,000.
          In contrast, there are no known cases of death attributable to the measles vaccine in otherwise healthy individuals.

          The only deaths associated with measles vaccination have been in immunocompromised people.
          That is why such individuals are not vaccinated.
          However they are protected by herd immunity if a sufficiently high proportion of the general population are vaccinated.

      2. Life’s too short and, unlike you, I’m not paid to post on this blog—but one MAGA media lie you posted screams for a response— the measles outbreak that started in Texas came from a Mennonite community that refuses to vaccinate their children. Stop lying about migrants being the source. You, as MAGA-usual, throw out statistics without any attribution as to the source.

    3. Then later pump the pre-adolescent with cross gender hormones, sterilize your child, and prepare to chop off healthy body parts. Don’t pretend you care about children. There are also serious side effects from vaccines. The immunity vaccines provide are not nearly as effective or strong as natural immunity and the vaccinated mother doesn’t pass on her immunity to her child.

  17. I propose swapping the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with the man mistakenly elected president of the United States

    1. According to a poll released on Wednesday, a majority of Americans would support exchanging Donald J. Trump for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

      Poll respondents agreed that a maximum security prison in El Salvador is an appropriate place to house a felon convicted on 34 counts.

      Additionally, they felt that Mr. Garcia, who has no history of supporting tariffs, would be unlikely to engage in a ruinous trade war if he were transferred from El Salvador to the White House.

      When asked what legal justification could be used to trade Trump for Garcia, a majority said, “Administrative error.”

    2. Biden is too busy sleeping on the pile of classified documents he stole as VP and mumbling incoherently about “semi-fascists,” “you ain’t black,” “they rubbed the hair on my legs,” and “lemme sniff your hair little girl.” He can’t be bothered to travel all the way to El Salvador.

    3. “I propose swapping the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with the man mistakenly elected president of the United States”

      What in Hell would El Salvador want with Joe Biden?

    4. “I propose swapping the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with the man mistakenly elected president of the United States”

      What the H** would El Salvador want with Joe Biden?

  18. Abrego Garcia has a very easy and guaranteed way to get out of prison

    He just has to say he was at the riot on Jan 6.
    Problem solved !!!!!

    1. To the contrary, Americans were sent to prison for years for high-fiving the Capitol police who let them in the building and gave them a tour. In reality, Garcia just has to say he burned down a police station in Portland and participated in looting and burning dozens of American cities in the summer of love 2020, because George Floyd, and then the entire prosecution will be seen to have been a mistake. Or he can claim to have defaced public monuments in DC with pro-Hamas graffiti or burned down a church, and same result.

      1. Jan 6 was a Christopher Wray, FBI, false flag op.

        Come right on in, folks, take the tour!

      2. “To the contrary, Americans were sent to prison for years for high-fiving the Capitol police who let them in the building and gave them a tour. “

        A great video from two who were arrested and one jailed and inhumanely treated being placed in solitary for four months.

        “Do we know what really happened on January 6? Hear firsthand accounts from John Strand and Brandon Straka—two men who were arrested, jailed, and nearly financially ruined for their presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. They sit down with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to share why they went to D.C., what they witnessed, and how that day changed their lives forever.?
