Trump administration argues judge cannot order return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

So to summarize, the administration position is:

  1. We can arrest anyone we want to and decide they’re a member of a terrorist gang that we claim to be at war with (which is not how war works).
  2. We can send anyone we want to prison in another country without any due process or judicial review
  3. We can use taxpayer dollars to pay an illegally-elected strongman in said other country to put these people into a brutal prison that is known to violate human rights
  4. Even if we know we made a mistake, we won’t even ask the other country to send one of these people back

Absolutely disgusting.
