    This man truly needs to try to get to Canada or Europe and claim asylum. The right have a massive hate boner for him because it pokes so many holes in the “we are only sending bad people there” line they always use.

    Also we need to stop calling it deportation when its not that at all.

      The media continues to miss every opportunity to call out the fascists’ distortions of language. It’s infuriating to see how journalists unquestioningly buy into the propaganda, apparently without realizing what they’re doing.

        If they don’t then they get sued for a billion dollars, then we get no news. It’s a pretty shitty situation all around.

          Then fight the lawsuits. They’ll win because the lawsuits are bullshit. Everyone knows that but they would rather bend the knee than fight and that, more than anything, is why I hope they do go under.

          Luckily they’re all backed by billionaire investors so they can afford to see the frivolous suits through. The self-censorship is something they do by design, not a response to any actual threat.

    This literally isn’t deportation. It’s extradition.

    EDIT
    Humiliating. It’s actually extraordinary rendition, which I confused with extradition. In my defense, I am extremely stupid.

    But! My point stands.

    Don’t let fascists call this deportation.

      Extradition implies that a crime was committed in the destination country that the accused is going to face a trial for.

      extradition /ĕk″strə-dĭsh′ən/ noun

      The surrender of an individual by one nation or state to another nation or state where that individual is sought for trial or punishment for the commission of a crime.

      The surrender or delivery of an alleged criminal by one State or sovereignty to another having jurisdiction to try charge.

      A formal process by which a criminal suspect held by one government is handed over to another government for trial or, if the suspect has already been tried and found guilty, to serve his or her sentence.

      This is not extradition.

    Just like he was blocked from being sent to El Salvador. I really hope this actually sticks (and at least he was brought back… Eventually)

    Too late, dude is probably already on a plane for Uganda. I hope he got an airtag tattoo or something in the day and a half he was out of jail, so his family can find him…

      There are way too many people scared of guns on our side, the left, for this to ever happen. In reality, the more heavily armed MAGA who’s culturally encouraged to own all kinds of firearms, and could openly train with them without being seen as gun nuts, will roll us over.

        Biggest issue I see on here daily is that no one seems to take it serious enough. People seem to have already given up, and won’t realize what’s at stake here.
