Kilmar Abrego Garcia’a underlying crime is “human trafficking,” which makes him sound like a bad guy. The “crime” stems from a traffic stop, where he was driving a company van full of construction workers to the worksite, and when he was found to be undocumented, his driving responsibilities were re-characterized as “human trafficking.”
And that has been MAGA’s rationalization for sending him to CECOT, and hounding him ever since. He was an employee valued enough to be given the responsibility of driving a company vehicle full of other employees, but that’s not enough to protect him from this kind of MAGA bullying.
And what’s worse, is that he became the lightning rod to represent the whole situation, but there were hundreds of others who were more or less just like him. They weren’t gang members, human traffickers, etc., they were just undocumented. And for that “crime,” they are serving life sentences in a torture prison, as we debate how unfair it is for Garcia. I’m sure that will make them all feel much better about their endless MAGA nightmare.




I was permabanned in Elon’s post-inauguration bloodbath, after 12 years, and a million Karma.
I know it sounds like sour grapes, but Reddit had already fallen far, and it’s fallen much farther since. I was checking out a thread that came up in a search, and I had to endlessly scroll through puns, novelty accounts, more puns, trolls, tangents, etc. I gave up before ever getting to anything resembling the subject I had searched. Useless.
