A senior department official stated that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained under the sovereign authority of El Salvador.

Summary

The Trump administration is continuing to seemingly do everything it can to avoid securing the safe return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported to El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error.”

A senior State Department official signed a declaration swearing Abrego Garcia is “detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”

Trump posted a message that confirms the U.S. is essentially wiping its hands of anyone deported: “These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador…and their future is up to President B and his Government.”

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Trump administration must take steps to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.

    Mario Savio was speaking on terms of labor, but his “Bodies upon the gears speech” is extremely relevant, particularly the end.

    There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part! You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels … upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop! And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!

    We have 5m people connected through protest. Arresting and deporting legal migrants is kiddnapping. Witholding international passports is violence. Skipping due process, kidnapping, and illegally imprisoning a US citizen, then refusing to fix it, is violence.

    I physically cannot fight. I pass out simply standing or walking too long. Of course I have a kid to protect too. There are plenty of people who have little to no benefit to an armed resistance in force.

    But we all have a part to play. They are not fighting fair, and nor should we. History has shown that guerilla resistance is absurdly effective against government lower. Ukraine. Syria. Iraq. Afghanistan, Vietnam.

    Fascists are idiots, and inefficient. They are focused on the in group so much they make themselves vulnerable. We have technology that hasnt existed before. Chemists, 3d printers. Open Source software. It doesn’t have to be guns blazing and explosives.
