Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was seized by ICE agents on 12th March and held for deportation. The government claimed he was a member of a dangerous gang, but has not provided any convincing evidence for this.
The government has repeatedly lied and sought to circumvent the justice system. It ignored the court order and sent him to El Salvador, where he is being held in a maximum security prison. The judge has now ordered the government to bring him back. The White House responded to the judge’s order with an insolent refusal, saying the judge’s jurisdiction does not run to El Salvador.
The government did however admit to a “mistake”. That is another lie. They did it very deliberately. This is applied racism. They imprisoned and deported this man for entirely racist reasons. “Mistakes” like this happen when the decisions are made by delusional people who think they are inherently superior.
It’s not just that they can cause suffering to a random person. To them, it’s an advantage, but only part of it. Millions of people with an immigration background who are all legally resident in the USA are afraid. They’ve seen it happen – they might be next. This is what the racists in charge want.
There’s no benefit in doing this, other than being able to demonstrate power over lesser humans. Shameful, absolutely disgraceful.
When and how did people stop believing in witchcraft? Can we do the same with racism?
