Didn’t they US used to send special forces out to rescue people like that in the past?

    Literally zero victims sent to El Salvador received a trial or due process of any kind. None of them. They were identified by ICE and summarily deported. This one guy is a test case because it was proven to be a mistake, but dozens of others don’t even have enough of a paper trail to examine. 90% had no criminal record. Even if he is returned, the administration has proven that they are willing and capable of eliminating anyone.

        No, that’s… it’s like the whole story. He’s in a concentration camp in El Salvador for no legal reason. None of them can leave because it’s a prison, and they may be dead. They can’t come back from Venezuela because that’s not where they were taken after being abducted.
