Democratic lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen say they are willing to go to El Salvador to seek the release of a man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported there — a plan that has gained steam after the country’s president said during a visit to the White House that he would not send the man back to the U.S.
Idk for sure, just speculating, but I think they don’t care about the actual individual. It’s not about him.
They’re asserting power, defying the supreme court. It’s that simple. This is authoritarianism. This is how it plays out.
Again, speculation. They start with these types of acts, if they succeed their way, disobeying law gets normalized, and they can continue and do even worse.
If I’m correct, checks and balances is falling, or has fallen. This is what authoritarianism looks like.
