James Gleick

Where is Kilmar Abrego Garcia?
He is a legal resident of the US. He is accused of no crime, past or present.
He was kidnapped by unidentified US agents and rushed overseas to a El Salvador's most notorious prison—stripped naked, his head shaved.
The US admits his seizure was a mistake but refuses to bring him home.
A judge ordered him returned by Monday, but the Supreme Court said there was no reason to hurry.

And now? Nothing. Abrego Garcia is either imprisoned or dead.

@gleick it's like due process isn't just useless red tape, who'd have thought?

(Yes, I understand that for the current government of the most powerful country, it's not a bug, it's a feature. But let's hope some of its supporters will finally open their eyes, if possible before my own country follows suit)

@gleick They're not gonna return him, because if they do he'll tell the world about whatever the hell goes on in that atrocious place.

@gleick

Everyday that Injustice Roberts keeps "thinking" about requiring Garcia to be returned is a day of cruel and unusual punishment he is responsible for. The entire US government is illegitimate and acting otherwise is complicity.

@gleick

If his name were John Smith (or John Roberts), there'd be a rush.

@gleick @alice Perhaps the abducters and the one who gave their orders should be sent to the same prison, as a very mild comparative blood price.

@gleick We’re all at risk of being Kilmared sooner or later.
