“…when one country invades another, it usually reflects the problems of the invader’s domestic politics, no matter what the justification for the invasion is. Although…Trump never mentioned taking over Greenland—or Canada, or Panama, or Mexico—during the 2024 campaign, he has made such takeovers a key objective of his administration.”

“Immediately after World War II, the American military maintained 17 bases and installations in Greenland, with thousands of soldiers, but now it maintains only the Pituffik Space Base on Greenland’s northwest coast with about 200 soldiers. It was there that Vance landed with his wife…on Friday after Greenlanders and Danes opposed a more extended itinerary.”

So few? What’s wrong with Americans?
“…71% of Americans thought it was “not acceptable” for immigration authorities to mistakenly detain legal U.S. residents…”

“…Trump administration attorneys admitted…that officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement had seized and deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia by accident. Abrego Garcia fled gang threats in El Salvador when he was 16, and came to the U.S. He has no criminal record, works full time…, is married to an American citizen, and is the father of a disabled U.S. citizen.”

“They claim that the court is powerless… If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless—all of them—because the government can deport whoever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want, and no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”
—Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, Abrego Garcia’s attorney

@janhoglund
Gonna call bullshit on her statement.
The US gov is paying El Salvador for that concentration camp, and even did a <expletive> photo op there. The notion that they couldn't possibly ask for Mr. Garcia's return is beyond laughable.
Seems to me that a judge could quite reasonably order the admin to seek his immediate return, and provide copies of the communications to prove they did so.
She's clearly on the wrong side of the prison bars.
@n1xnx@tilde.zone @janhoglund That's not her statement. That is the statement of the trump regime. Don't shoot the messenger. Bye.
@janhoglund
To eliminate any misinterpretation, I'm referring to the Trump admin folks as being on the wrong side of the prison bars. (I'm thinking of that ghastly photo-op in particular.)
@janhoglund There was NO ACCIDENT... it was an INTENTIONAL deviance of the LAW...
THIS WHOLE INTERACTION OF MANY ... has NOT given anyone any JUDICIAL rights and there could be more than just the one person .. but they have no one to speak for them !
Any county with any sort of relationship with El Salvador should get Abrego Garcia back from foreign illegal imprisonment.
I appreciate it's not anybody's responsibility to aid this person but the USA
But without a massive effect we can redress a Wong and shove two finger up to #trump
Win win
@janhoglund because they have no idea what it means other than what the orange-one is spouting about it making 'merica safer.
@janhoglund All MAGA voters
they're REALLY stupid
This is the essential point to understand about Trump's threats against Canada, Greenland, Panama . . . It all comes down to what Trump owes to Putin.
