> His wife might never have found him if it weren’t for a photo someone sent her from an article about more than 200 Venezuelan immigrants dispatched to CECOT in El Salvador at the same time. His face wasn’t visible, but she recognized him from two scars on his shaved head and some of his personal (but not gang-related) tattoos. She was well aware of CECOT’s reputation as a brutal mega-prison, a site of organized physical and psychological torture.

"The ultimate goal of autocrats is to gain enough power to have a monopoly on who can tell the stories about the past and the present. And yet truth comes out in the end, despite their efforts, because such holes in the heart and the historical record have always been calls to action."

"Autocrats know that when disappeared people reappear, truths are spoken, and forbidden histories are written, this punctures veils of silence and engineered forgetting, reminds people of the moral collapse that comes from complicity with dictatorship, and complicates the revisionist histories authoritarian states produce and circulate."

As Roger Parloff reports, the goal of the Trump administration in its criminal case and civil litigation against Abrego Garcia is not about upholding the rule of law, but rather contributing to President Trump’s political messaging.
Abrego Garcia's innocence, his wrongful detention and torture, the lies told about him: all take second place to what Trump wants.

It's because the law doesn't matter. Only racist outcomes. So the law will be bent or invented at will to produce those outcomes.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the El Salvadorian man who was mistakenly deported to CECOT and was recently returned to face criminal charges, prefers to be referred to as simply "Abrego".

Despite this, most news sources refer to him as "Abrego Garcia".
#AbregoGarcia 's lawyers must find an author and publisher to work with him to write his "tell all" story. To come out before the midterm elections. An obvious best seller. #Politics

Migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, die door de VS onterecht naar El Salvador werd gedeporteerd en vervolgens in juni werd teruggehaald, is in de beruchte gevangenis in El Salvador mishandeld en gemarteld. Dat beweren zijn advocaten.
>>While in a cell, Abrego Garcia and 20 other incarcerated Salvadorans were forced to kneel from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. and guards would strike “anyone who fell from exhaustion,” according to the filing. During that time, Abrego Garcia was denied access to a bathroom <<
The president of El Salvador would not recognize Justice if it indicted him in The Hague and sentenced him for his crimes.
But let’s do it anyway just to be sure.

#AbregoGarcia alleges that he lost 31 pounds in his first two weeks at #CECOT due to #malnutrition, #sleep deprivation, and #physical #abuse. His cell, shared with 20 other inmates, was overcrowded, with no mattresses, no windows, and bright lights kept on 24 hours a day. He claims #detainees were forced to kneel through the night and were #beaten if they collapsed from #exhaustion. He was denied access to a bathroom, resulting in him soiling himself.

Think about this, a judge keeping somebody in jail to protect him from his government, the USA in 2025 moving towards fascism. Not maybe but surely.

"Indeed, liberty for Abrego Garcia poses such a threat to the 'Red Caesar' authoritarian ambitions of the Trump regime and the mass-deportation drive at its black heart that Trump’s minions are determined, by any means necessary, to make sure he never again freely breathes American air."

"The government of a global superpower is ripping up its own Constitution and pressing with its full weight to crush one formerly anonymous laborer with a work permit, a union card, and three kids at home, who was doing his best to live the American Dream after fleeing gang violence and death threats in his birth city of San Salvador at age 16."

"Every human on #American soil... is entitled to due process. Period. Nothing is more fundamental to the success of the American Experiment. Which is exactly why... [the #Trump regime] is pulling out every stop to deny #AbregoGarcia his constitutional rights.
That’s because proving their unstoppable power to deny #DueProcess to Abrego Garcia is essential to stripping you of your #HumanRights when the time comes — and that time will come"
