Salvadoran citizen and “Maryland man” Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia (KAAG) has become the Joan of Arc of the American Left – their poster child for opposing President Donald Trump’s campaign of enforcing immigration laws. Why?
<snip>
In August, KAAG was released from jail in Tennessee and driven – by private security – to Maryland. Who is paying for that security, and all his lawyers? The immigration-activist complex, of course. KAAG represents everything they stand for: endless process until the alien gets to stay. For progressives, no one is ever deportable, whatever their criminal history, and whatever the imbalance between what they take and what they give to our society and economy.
To prevent the law taking its course and KAAG being expelled, his lawyers continued pursuing litigation, filing a motion to dismiss his case, and alleging that the government is pursuing a “vindictive and selective prosecution.”
The executive branch has authority in immigration cases, not federal courts. But as with so much else in our novel era, activist judges are going beyond mere due process to invent “new process” – in effect, to allow illegal aliens unlimited bites at the apple until they win.
KAAG’s nine lives may finally run out. But there seems to be no shortage of money and legal muscle that the “abolitionist” lobby is willing to throw at keeping him here. How this plays out will set precedents, and establish norms, for the rest of the Trump presidency.
Either the rule of law is re-established when it comes to immigration, or any alien with sufficient NGO support can remain forever, whatever their background. Either way, KAAG will change the game.
