      That’s a different guy (isn’t this timeline wonderful?).

      Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arrested during a traffic stop and illegally deported to El Salvador. He was brought back and immediately placed in front of a judge to face criminal charges related to the traffic stop.

      Mahmoud Khalil is a student at Columbia University who was illegally abducted by ICE without a warrant, despite Khalil being a legal resident with a greencard. He is still being detained in Louisiana without any criminal charges filed.

      Edit: I think I have all of the facts straight. I browsed the wiki articles for a refresher, but maybe I missed something. Anyone feel free to chime in if I got something wrong.

      lol thanks Nougat. I was getting hot under the collar so fast, just in the time it took to click into comments. Definitely read the opposite.

        Glad I could help, but my message was that the word “can’t” there is frankly just not accurate. They’ve already defied court orders by continuing to render people to foreign prisons. Court orders are a speed bump to them.

          Right, gotcha. Hence the quotes, and, of course, reading further, they describe the ways he can.
