So what’s the problem!? Criminal alien in US illegally ‘mistakenly’ deported to home country

An illegal alien gang member who’d been detained since the Biden era was finally deported this month, but that’s now evidently a problem.

The illegal alien, alleged “former” MS-13 gang banger Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, was detained by immigration officials in 2022 after he completed a prison sentence for being in possession of an unregistered, sawed-off shotgun, according to The New York Times.

Melgar-Salmeron then lingered in detainment as the Biden administration put his case on hold. Once the Trump administration took over, they immediately sought to end the hold.

On May 7, however, the New York-based 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the Trump administration to keep Melgar-Salmeron in the United States as they considered an appeal by him.

Less than 30 minutes after the order was issued, the Trump administration tossed Melgar-Salmeron onto a plane headed to his home country of El Salvador, where he now resides.

The Trump administration has since wiped its hands clean of him.

“In court papers this week, officials blamed a ‘confluence of administrative errors,’ including missed emails and an inaccurate roster of passengers on the May 7 deportation flight,” according to Politico.

Melgar-Salmeron’s lawyer meanwhile is demanding he be returned to the United States. The attorney has also disputed the administration’s “error,” telling the Times that it’s part of a larger pattern of the administration purposefully ignoring court orders.

“It would be an absurd level of mistake,” attorney Matthew Borowski said. “Verifying the paperwork and putting the right people on the plane is their job.”

Mistake or not, critics have been wondering what the problem is. Melgar-Salmeron wasn’t just in the United States illegally — he committed crimes while here. And now, because of his actions, he’s been sent back to his home country. So again, what’s the problem?

It’s about time. Heaven knows the democrats need another illegal criminal to swoon over and go to El Salvador to have margaritas with.

He illegally entered the Country, he’s been in detention for 3 years, he was sent to his homeland. It’s absurd that the court tried to halt his deportation.

The dude was in prison for owning an unregistered shotgun as an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. That’s grounds for deportation according to the law!

” He had been in immigration detention since 2022 following a prison sentence for possessing an unregistered shotgun.”

WHY ARE YOU ASSHOLES DEFENDING THESE CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS???

GOOD RIDDANCE

Liberals’ obsession with returning illegals to the US is dependent on the idea that we are a country of laws and the judges who interpret these laws are ordering that people not be deported.

Where was this respect for order and lawfulness when these people entered illegally?

He was caught with a sawed off shotgun while being illegal. He should have been deported immediately. https://t.co/C9OlM49oWC

In fairness to Melgar-Salmeron’s defenders, reports suggest that he wasn’t just deported home — he was imprisoned in one of El Salvador’s notoriously tough prisons.

Also, he’d allegedly given up his gang-banging ways.

“His lawyer said he had disavowed MS-13 and now has a wife and four children in Virginia,” according to the Times.

There’s even reportedly an explanation for his former gang ways.

“Back in his home country, Borowski [the attorney] described Melgar-Salmeron as facing impossible odds,” according to Investigative Post, which first broke this story. “His violent stepfather was looking for him, wanting to hurt or kill him. His only option for protection, Borowski said, was the MS-13 gang.”

“They said, ‘Look, join us and we’ll protect you,’” Borowski explained.

Melgar-Salmeron is among a number of illegal alien gang bangers (or former gang bangers) who’ve been “mistakenly” deported home. The others include Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Daniel Lozano-Camargo, and a Guatemalan illegal alien known only as O.C.G.

“In each of those other three cases, judges have ordered the administration to try to bring the deportees back to the United States so that they can receive due process,” according to Politico.

“The administration says it is working to return O.C.G. but has resisted the orders to return Abrego Garcia and Lozano-Camargo, claiming they are powerless because the men are in Salvadoran custody,” the political news site notes.
