WHOLLY LAWLESS: HOW TRUMP’S DEPORTATION DEATH SQUAD KIDNAPPED A FATHER AND DUMPED HIM IN A TORTURE PIT
THEY STOLE HIM. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was doing everything right. He had legal status. A work permit. A family in Maryland who loved him. He was a sheet metal apprentice, grinding his way toward a journeyman’s license so he could give his five-year-old autistic son — a U.S. citizen — a better life.
In 2019, an immigration judge granted Abrego Garcia a rare protection called “withholding of removal” — a legal ruling that barred the U.S. from deporting him to El Salvador because he faced likely death at the hands of gangs. The government didn’t appeal. That decision was final. They had no legal right to touch him.
And then one day, driving home with that son, ICE agents boxed in his car. No warrant. No charges. No explanation. Just a cryptic line: “Your status has changed.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s abduction.
CECOT ISN’T A MISTAKE — IT’S A WARNING
They didn’t just deport Kilmar. They didn’t just violate a 2019 court order that explicitly prohibited sending him to El Salvador. They escalated. They threw him into CECOT — a prison so violent, so dystopian, that human rights groups won’t even enter.
Concrete coffins. No sunlight. Torture as a management strategy. A spectacle of cages broadcast on state TV.
Kilmar wasn’t charged with a crime. Not in the U.S. Not in El Salvador. He was kidnapped and thrown into a tomb. Why?
Because this administration wanted to make a point.
And they used a father to do it.
“I DON’T KNOW” — THE ONLY HONEST THING ANY OF THEM SAID
DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni told the truth under oath:
“We concede he should not have been removed to El Salvador.”
When asked why Kilmar was imprisoned there, he answered: “I don’t know.”
That alone should have triggered an emergency recall mission. A presidential apology. A scramble to undo the damage.
Instead? They punished him.
Attorney General Pam Bondi — a wax statue of corruption dipped in fascist perfume — went on Fox News and sneered:
“That would never happen in this country.”
It did happen. And she helped make it happen. She suspended Reuveni for telling the truth — because truth is mutiny in Trump’s regime of vengeance.
KRISTI NOEM’S PRISON PORN PROPAGANDA
Let’s not forget the other name in this blood-soaked script: Kristi Noem, now head of DHS. She stood in front of the CECOT cages smiling. She warned the world that this — this medieval hellhole — is what awaits anyone who crosses the line.
“Defendants even embrace that reality,” Judge Xinis wrote, “as part of a well-orchestrated mission to use CECOT as a form of punishment and deterrence.”
They turned a father into a threat display. A billboard. A mutilated example.
THEY KNEW. THEY LIED. THEY DID IT ANYWAY.
This wasn’t a clerical error. It wasn’t bureaucracy run amok. This was deliberate. Calculated. A cruel, xenophobic power play dressed in legalese.
Judge Paula Xinis obliterated their defense:
“They had no legal authority to arrest him, no justification to detain him, and no grounds to send him to El Salvador.”
“As a practical matter, the facts say otherwise.”
This administration is now arguing that they can deport anyone — citizen or not — to a foreign prison and then wash their hands of it. “Not our custodian anymore,” they shrug, while a child in Maryland cries for the father ICE disappeared.
IF WE DON’T SCREAM, THEY’LL DO IT AGAIN
Kilmar’s son is still nonverbal. He doesn’t understand where his father went.
Jennifer Vasquez Sura, his wife, is left to pick up the pieces while government thugs play legal gymnastics and pretend this never happened.
But we’re not going to forget.
We’re not going to move on.
We’re going to make sure every single name involved in this atrocity is carved into the record. Noem. Bondi. Every ICE official who touched the file. Every silent bystander at DHS. Every judge who looked away. Every coward who said, “It’s not my job.”
We’re coming for the truth. And we’re dragging it into the light — kicking and screaming if we have to.
I'm glad you called the Noem photo "pornography." That was the word that came to mind when I saw the callous photo op.
It really makes me cry. This is not who we are.
Noem, Bondi, and all of the other terrorists responsible for this behavior should have to suffer the same punishment that they are dishing out. They are the ones who deserve to be disappeared.
