Wanna know the difference between Abrego Garcia and Rittenhouse?

I'll give you a hint: One of them was afforded due process.

Here's another thing that you might not know. Being a member of a gang is not illegal in and of itself (freedom of association). If it was, the KKK and the Proud Boys and Patriot Front and all those other chud gangs wouldn't be allowed to exist. So it doesn't matter one iota if Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 or not. The only thing that matters in terms of deporting him are his legal residence status, and his criminal record. And guess what? He was here legally, having been given "withholding of removal" status by an immigration judge, and he has no criminal record.

I thought MS 13 was deemed an international terrorist org? The others you mentioned are not. If this happened retrospectively in Kilmars case then I believe it would make his deportation illegal.

So I had to look it up, and apparently Trump signed an EO on February 25th designating MS-13 as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization", which makes no sense because it's an American gang.

But that doesn't matter, because on March 15th Abrego Garcia was deported without ever having been proven to be a member of MS-13. No presumption of innocence, no charges filed, no access to a lawyer, no chance to ever argue his innocence in a court of law. You know, that whole "due process" thing that we used to care about.

Regardless of what you think of this man, his rights were violated. That means your rights were also violated, because if the rights of the US Constitution don't apply to everyone, then they don't apply to anyone.
