We Need Proof of Life for the Makeup Artist #Trump Sent to #ElSalvador

I understand why #KilmarAbregoGarcia has become the face of Donald Trump’s monstrous policy of sending migrants to a gulag in El Salvador. In a court filing, the admin’s own lawyers initially admitted that his #deportation was an “administrative error,” & the White House has been disregarding a #SCOTUS ruling to “facilitate” his return.

>>During the interview, an officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told Mahdawi that he needed to “check” on some information and that he’d be right back, according to the court papers. Masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents then entered the room and shackled Mahdawi, the filing said.

During Mahdawi's arrest he was separated from his immigration attorney and placed into a car, according to the filing, before the federal government tried to quickly transfer him to Louisiana – where Khalil is currently being held in an ICE detention center.<<

Mohsen Mahdawi, an organizer of pro-Palestinian demonstrations last year at Columbia University, was detained by the Department of Homeland Security during his naturalization interview in Vermont on Monday.
Gothamist · New court filings detail Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi's ICE arrest: 'It was a trap'On Wednesday, a judge granted a 90-day extension of a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration from deporting Mahdawi, according to Mahdawi’s lawyers.

>>The judge’s order says federal officials cannot take the men out of Colorado, which would prevent immigration officials from transferring them to a detention center in another state and then deporting them from there. It also says authorities must provide at least 21 days’ notice to detainees — written in a language they understand — that they face deportation and that they have a right to seek judicial review of their case. <<
