well today what one judge has called the
lawlessness of Donald Trump and his
staff was made vivid once again in two
hugely important stories that are really
about us about all of us every one of us
and it might not seem that way at first
one is the story of an immigrant who was
shipped off to a prison in El Salvador
something that could never happen to us
citizens right and the other story is
about an exclusive private institution
far removed from your life it seems that
has nothing to do with you or at least
it seems that way but
today we are all Kilmar Armando Arbrego
Garcia because Donald Trump said today
very clearly that he wants to be able to
throw anyone in a prison in El Salvador
and throw away the key even if that
person has committed no crime and that
means us that means all of us because
Donald Trump and his lawyers are
insisting through the courts that even
after they make a mistake as they admit
they did in the case of Mr abrego Garcia
they don't have to fix that mistake and
they can leave him in that prison
forever and if the mistake they me make
the next time with you or me is that
they sent us to an El Salvador prison
even though we didn't commit a crime and
even though we are United States
citizens that
mistake cannot be fixed according to
Donald Trump and his lawyer lawyers no
American court can order that an
American citizen illegally deported to a
prison in El Salvador by Donald Trump
can ever be saved from that mistake
that's the position of the president of
the United States and his lawyers and
there has never been a darker statement
made by a president of the United States
or his lawyers about what it means to
live in America than that statement
donald Trump is the only president who
believes he can snatch anyone off the
streets in the United States send that
person to El Salvador find out later
that that person never committed a crime
