You must protect U.S. citizens from illegal detention.
Habeas Corpus is fundamental to the rights of free people.
NBC news reports “The U.S. government … deported a Maryland father to El Salvador due to an "administrative error," landing him in a notorious mega-jail and leaving him stuck there in legal limbo, according to legal papers filed by the government.
Kilmar Arbrego Garcia came to the U.S. in 2011 from El Salvador and is a legal resident protected by a 2019 court order that prevented him from being sent back to his home country.
But, in court papers, the government admitted that "on March 15, although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error."
Garcia live[d] in Maryland with his wife and 5-year-old child, who has autism and is intellectually disabled….
In its filing on Monday, the government said that the U.S. courts don't have jurisdiction to seek his release.” (Source NBC)
The U.S. government must never illegally detain and put Americans beyond the reach of our laws. The constitution means nothing if people aren’t protected from abduction to foreign shores!
