> According to who? Why do you think this is somehow the case?
Bukele says he doesn't forsee ever releasing anyone from CEDOT and has specifically ruled out doing so in this case. Trump says he's powerless to get him released.
> In what scenario does indefinite detention make any realistic sense even for the best-case scenario of its intended purpose i.e. rightfully-deported violent criminals?
Slave labor, which is what the people in CEDOT are being used for, again per their own president.
> Do you honestly think the US is actually sending anyone to indefinite detention who has not received a life sentence in court?
Yes! That's the whole problem!

- Volundr 1y agoAnd yet Bukele's Justice Minister (sorry misremembered not Bukele himself) has said they will "never return to their communities" and somehow we are unable to get back this one man. Saying everyone is lying to openly defy a Supreme Court order when they can get him back anytime just by asking, and he'll be released "sometime" is not the comfort you seem think it should be. https://apnews.com/article/el-salvador-us-rubio-prison-de912f6a8199aaa7c8490585dcaa3b87 https://apnews.com/article/el-salvador-us-rubio-prison-de912...
- ranger_danger 1y agoSorry if I don't believe the "world's coolest dictator"'s administration whose actions disprove their words.
- Volundr 1y agoI mean I don't trust the guy either, and readily acknowledge he may be lying or even could just change his mind at any moment. That doesn't somehow make the situation better. We have a bunch of people now held at the whims of a capricious dictator, and our own leader is sending them more people, and suggesting sending our citizens, while claiming it's impossible to fix any mistakes, because "who knows what that guy will do, I can't control him"
- ranger_danger 1y agoNot to mention we have already found out from Van Hollen that Garcia was already transferred out of CECOT over a week ago... the place supposedly "no one can leave from". Nobody in the media really seems to care though.
