In recent days, the image of the United States has deteriorated again. It is all about the story of Kilmar Abry Garcia, a 24-year-old man deported in March by the regime of Donald Trump to the infamous center of terrorism (Spanish Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, Cecot) in El Salvador-the greatest prison in Latin America.
According to the administration of Trump Garcia, he was a member of the MS-13 gang [zajmującego się głównie handlem narkotykami, ale i nielegalną migracją oraz handlem ludźmi]. However, it turned out that this is not true – The government admitted that he was mistaken and as part of the “administrative error” sentenced to one of the most serious prisoners of a man who has never been prosecuted Neither accused in America.
Not only that, the situation is probably the opposite from what the government originally presented – Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not only a member of the gang, but eight years ago he illegally escaped to the United States in fear of him. Americans deported him without proper interrogation and without the possibility of appeal. And even the judges supporting Trump found it.
Unknown
The case went to the Supreme Court, which, despite the conservative and theoretically supporting the Trump of judges, voted clearly 9 to 0 for the US administration “organized” his return to the USA. However, she refused. She said that she did not have to and could not do it, Because Garcia is already in the hands of another country, where neither the US government or the Supreme Court are in force.
The President of Salvador Nayib Bukele said that he would not be extradited by Garcia. He didn't say why. He only stated that he could not imagine how he could send him back to the USA against the will of the Americans.
The US authorities are looking for excuses for El Salvador, and Salvador justifies the administration of Trump. Nobody respects the Supreme Court's decision, the US authorities act against the constitution, and A 24-year-old man is in a prison hell designed only for gang members. In a country from which he illegally escaped to the US for fear of torture or death. At this point, everything indicates that there is no return for him.
Donald Trump clearly has a weakness for bukele – this week men met in the White House. The President of Salvador was accepted much warmer than, say, Wołodymyr Zelnski.
Black hole
However, it is truly terrifying that A kind of black hole opened in America – Thanks to her, hundreds of people may disappear in brutal Salvadorian prisons without the possibility of appealing or rights to a fair trial. The story of Kilmar Abry Garcia was echoed in the media loudly. However, the names of most deported are unknown to the public. Many of them have never been accused of in the USA.

Some deported relatives claim that their loved ones were detained on the basis of similar, but not identical tattoos, to those worn by members of El Salvador Gangs. It is certain that the Americans deported another ten people to El Salvador this week and they made it clear that this was not the end – Trump during the meeting even ordered Bukele to build more prisons.
The US is becoming a country from which you can disappear without trial and appeal in brutal prisons abroad. And even when the authorities admit their mistakes, and the US Supreme Court orders to fix it, for the victims, this absolutely does not change anything.
University protest
Universities also rebel against the Trump's administration governments. Of course, the Harvard University leads, of course, which – unlike the University of Columbia – rejected the list of US administration demands, which deeply interfere with his activities. Let us point out that this is a private institution.
On the one hand, Harvard can afford it because he is simply rich. And indeed – the government responded to his “no”, freezing over $ 2 billion. (PLN 7.5 billion) of federal funds and threatening a significant tightening of the tax system in which the university operates.
Columbia university has bending, but it has not changed. Trump's administration wants to humiliate and weaken liberal universities. He also has 60 other institutions in the crosshairs – and Harvard is not lonely in his opposition. The smaller but very important Wesley University Ohio also announced that he would not answer the government list of demands positively.
In the US, therefore, an open conflict between universities is growing, which – as recently said “The New York Times” – must decide whether to defend the essence of their existence and soul, or bend under the pressure of the authorities. If they take a grip and find courage, they will certainly feel it financially. However, this will be one of the very strong flashes of rebellion in an increasingly dark American sky.
