This man was picked up in 2019 and determined by the immigration court to be a member of MS-13 and removable because he posed a danger to the community. He appealed and the appeals court upheld the original determination.
The immigration judge then ordered him removed but also ordered his removal withheld because his life would be threatened by sending him back to El Salvador.
Then he was picked up again in 2025 because he's a member of MS-13 and shipped off to El Salvador because ICE or DHS claims they overlooked the order from 2019 and didn't realize he couldn't be removed when they piled him with other MS-13 members.
I guess it's a bit weird that the immigration process determined this man to be a gang member that is a danger to his community and that he should be removed from the country but also that we can't remove him from the country so he can stay.
