  > He left El Salvador at the age of 16, around 2011, to join his brother, who had become a U.S. citizen and was living in Maryland. > Although he was denied asylum, the immigration judge did issue an order shielding Abrego Garcia from deportation to El Salvador because he faced credible threats of violence from a gang there that had terrorized him and his family. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/kilmar-abrego-garcia-requests-asylum-in-us-hoping-to-prevent-deportation-to-uganda/3980707/ https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/kilmar-abrego-garci... Where did you read, "rival gang"? Under what circumstances are you ok with forcibly removing people to other countries without a trial? What scenarios is it ok to do so and also ignore judge's orders?

  > He DID NOT come in legally. So here we have what I think is some of the nonsense of the current laws. My understanding is that how you generally apply for asylum is: 1. Show up in the country one way or another 2. Apply for asylum So, is #1 "illegal", since he didn't have an official reason to be here long-term when he came into the country? Or is #1 "legal", since the laws for step 2 seem to be written in a way that step 1 is necessary? If you know more about how asylum actually works, feel free to enlighten me.
