Association ≠ Membership.
Being in proximity to alleged gang members doesn't make someone guilty by association. That’s not how due process works. If it did, we'd lock up anyone who ever carpooled with someone who had a record.
Chicago Bulls clothing?
Wearing Bulls gear is not a criminal act. That claim is flimsy and was already noted by the judge herself as unreliable for proving gang ties. The gang symbolism you mention is speculative and regional—not definitive proof.
“Reliable” confidential source?
That “source” was never cross-examined. The accused never had a chance to confront his accuser, which undermines the reliability of that statement. In criminal court, that’s a Sixth Amendment issue. Even in immigration court, due process still applies.
Human trafficking claim = complete stretch.
No charges were filed. Transporting undocumented individuals does not automatically equate to “human trafficking.” That term has a legal definition involving coercion or exploitation. You’re throwing it around for emotional effect, not legal accuracy.
Domestic violence claims.
Allegations aren’t convictions. His partner later clarified those statements. None of them resulted in criminal charges, and the immigration judge still ruled in 2019 that he posed no proven threat based on those claims alone.
Child paternity?
Irrelevant to whether he deserves legal protection or not. Family disputes and paternity issues do not equate to gang membership or grounds for deportation.
"Two judges agreed"?
Actually, that bond decision was later undercut. He was granted withholding of removal in 2019 because it was determined he would face persecution in El Salvador. His eventual deportation was illegal, and the U.S. government admitted that. Courts, including the Supreme Court, ruled against the government’s actions.
“El Salvador says he’s a gang member.”
You trust the Bukele regime’s prison system for due process? They’ve locked up thousands in mass sweeps without trial. International rights groups have documented abuse and unlawful detentions. That's not credible evidence—it's authoritarian expediency.
Illegal presence = doesn’t matter?
Wrong. Even undocumented immigrants are entitled to due process. That’s not a liberal talking point—it’s Supreme Court precedent.
His asylum claim is “moot”?
Asylum is based on whether return now puts the individual at risk. The gang that attacked his family might no longer be active, but Bukele’s mass prison sweeps have created a situation where anyone labeled a gang member—falsely or not—faces indefinite detention without trial.
