You misunderstand; getting stuck there is exactly what the senator should have done if they wouldn’t let him take Mr. Garcia.
This is a falsely accused, illegally deported human stuck in an El Salvadorian mega-prison. Mr. Garcia is incredibly lucky to be alive at all. Can you imagine being in that scenario, meeting with your US state senator, then being lead back into lock-up‽ They had zero justification for sending him there, zero justification to hold him there, and zero justification to keep him one second longer.
What was the point of Van Hollen flying down there personally if not to bring him home? Leaving Mr. Garcia behind is tacit approval for disregarding due process.
I don’t think the United States in general gives a flying fuck about non-whites, now or in the past.
I give a flying fuck though, so I’m gonna get pissed when I see a basic lack of respect for any person. I’m going to get pissed and rail against every single erosion of rights I can, right up until I get the fuck out of this insane country.
