Another in an endless series of legal setbacks for Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. From the Associated Press (AP),
Immigration judge denies Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s bid for asylum, but he has 30 days to appeal.
Of course he has. And then he will have time to appeal the appeal. After that, he will appeal the appeal of the appeal. It’s all part of the infinite regression of due process afforded to Abrego, a Salvadoran citizen. Due process that you, a bona fide American citizen, would never have access to.
The facts of the case never change: Abrego is not lawfully present in the United States. There is no legal/judicial/administrative path for him to acquire authorization to be in the United States.
What changes is the forum, the argument presented, sometimes merely the date that the latest redundant, meritless filing was made.
The AP reports,
The judge in Baltimore on Wednesday rejected an application to reopen Abrego Garcia’s 2019 asylum case, but that is not the final word. Abrego Garcia has 30 days to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals.
Lost in all of this is the fact that Abrego still faces federal human smuggling charges back in Tennessee.
The New York Post reports,
Judge rejects Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s bid to reopen case, lets removal order stand.
From the Post,
The final order of removal against illegal immigrant and accused MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stand after an immigration judge rejected a motion from his attorneys to reopen the case Wednesday.
The word “final” in the above sentence is a meaningless modifier. Nothing is “final” in the infinite due process afforded to Maryland Man. Likewise, the word “stand” holds no meaning.
So much due process.
