Yes — in the Abrego Garcia case, the Trump administration did make exactly that argument. During the emergency proceedings in April 2025, the government told the courts that:

• Once Abrego Garcia was deported and held in Salvadoran custody, the U.S. courts lacked authority to “extract” him back—even though the deportation itself violated a U.S. court order .

• They contended that the president’s power to conduct foreign affairs meant U.S. courts couldn’t compel diplomatic engagement or enforcement in a foreign country .

This argument implied that if the federal government could deport someone—even wrongly—to foreign custody, there might be no legal mechanism for courts to force their return, since the person is “beyond the court’s reach.” Justice Sotomayor flagged this very concern, noting such a position “implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene” .

⸻

✅ Judicial Pushback

• District Judge Paula Xinis rejected this reasoning, ordering that the administration take “all available steps” to bring Abrego Garcia back, not merely remove domestic obstacles .

• The Fourth Circuit unanimously agreed, stating that the government’s stance was “unconscionable” and that courts do have jurisdiction to enforce returns, even from foreign custody .

• The Supreme Court, in a unanimous order, affirmed that the government must “facilitate” the return, implicitly rebuking the argument that international custody nullifies U.S. judicial authority .

⸻

🧭 Bottom Line

The Trump administration did argue that once a person is overseas—held by another country—U.S. courts have no means to compel their return. But that argument was overruled at every level, and the courts reaffirmed that they can—and must—enforce return orders, even into foreign jurisdictions.

I get that cons are doing the whole fascism thing and that immigration is too far gone to follow the rules. But just say that. Doing mental gymnastics to justify your illegal maneuvers is unbecoming. If the situation is so dire you need to ignore the rules, then that's what it is. If it's true, people will agree. Yet cons are too "duty-bound" to admit they're just doing what needs to be done

So you're saying SSN=citizenship/valid residency? Fucking lmao. Illegals get SSNs all the time. There are 100s of SSNs used by dead people.

"due process is unnecessary and impractical"

Get the fuck out of my country. You don't know or respect the law here. You need to go back to whatever shithole your parents escaped from.

"i'm sure DHS is doing at least this level of due process before deporting these people"

Yeah bud. Hey everybody it's ok, ParaMo is "sure" that they're checking. Get real

"who again, broke the law on their way in"

Innocent until proven guilty, you fucking retarded mudslime faggot. Go back to your country if you don't respect our laws

"thanks to shitlibs letting them in."

Hell, it’s literally *illegal* for law enforcement to assist with enforcement of immigration law in California or even ask about immigration status. My shitlib town in Los Angeles County sent us an email today reassuring us that they are definitely not helping ICE (no mention of any efforts to protect us against rioters though).

This is what white males have felt like every day since about 1996.

Also, they are concrete bollards, not bollocks. Figure that was autocorrect though.

“According to Justice Department figures released earlier this month, approximately 1,583 defendants have been charged with crimes associated with the riot.

More than 600 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or obstructing law enforcement, including around 175 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.“

If I were the president, I would send the national guard in to mow these motherfuckers down Kent State style. If we keep having BLM style looting protests we are not going to have a country for very long. The left needs to stop legitimizing looting and violence. Their followers are too stupid to resist the call.
