Here come the trumped up charges.
They were arrested in El Salvador, likely the charge is "Fuck that person in particular". El Salvador has long since left any semblance of law and order, that's why Trump has become so cozy with them.
I will be absolutely shocked if the person is still alive a year from now. And this also highlights why everyone knew that trying to mount legal defense from El Salvadorian jurisdiction was never going to happen. The country has demonstrated zero compunction with incarcerating people the government doesn't like and indicating that legal rationale isn't needed to justify their actions.
Are we talking about the same country? The one that had the highest murder rate in the world a couple years ago and now has some of the lowest? The one where people were scared to go out during the day because of gang violence, but now you can walk safely alone at night? The one where every official was bought off by gangs, but now is prosecuting those officials and gang members? The one where its citizens overwhelmingly support the actions taken to get their lives and safety back?
If you are picking your battles, this is certainly not one to choose.
All needed was to bend the knee to the biggest gangster of all, fuck off
