Since 2021, the Left has waged a veritable war against the American legal system in a variety of ways.
One serial target of Democrats and the Left has been the Supreme Court.
In
2020, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., spoke to an angry
throng of pro-abortion protesters assembled at the very doors of the
court chambers.
He threatened two of the justices,
Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, by name. Schumer yelled to the
volatile crowd that the justices’ views would make them “reap the
whirlwind,” and the two would not know what “hit” them.
In the ensuing months, protesters mobbed some of the conservative justices’ homes—likely
committing felonies. The sympathetic Biden Justice Department chose not
to follow the law, and so did nothing—although eventually a would-be
assassin turned up.
Former President Joe Biden himself bragged
that he would try to ignore the Supreme Court ruling banning his
arbitrary cancellation of billions of dollars in student loans. Indeed,
he boasted, “The Supreme Court blocked it, but that didn’t stop me.”
In response, no one on the Left ever complained about endangering the “rule of law” or Biden as “a dictator.”
For three years, four local, state, and federal prosecutors warped the law to neuter Donald Trump. Most of the charges had never been brought against other political figures in similar circumstances.
The
vast majority of the 93 weaponized indictments backfired on the liberal
prosecutors, who had contorted the legal system for political purposes
and now face their own ethical or legal quagmires.
The federal prosecutor Jack Smith belatedly reported accepting $140,000 in free legal services.
Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis was removed from the Trump case and fined, and is now under further investigation.
New York prosecutor Letitia James is now facing allegations of falsification of documents and loan fraud.
Federal
immigration law prohibits the illegal entry into and residence within
the United States. Yet the Biden administration deliberately violated
the law by allowing somewhere between 10-12 million illegal aliens to cross the border. Thousands had criminal records.
No one on the Left decried any of these various affronts to the legal system.
In
polls, by overwhelming majorities—above 70%—the public wants the Trump
administration to close the border, begin deportations, and start with
criminals or those with violent histories and gang ties.
The recent deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador, to the vast majority of Americans seems to fit that profile.
Garcia
entered the U.S. illegally and was later found consorting with members
of MS-13—a State Department-designated terrorist organization—who were
selling drugs. Informants reported that he was a gang member. His own
tattoos likely confirm those accusations.
Two prior immigration
judges found such evidence sufficient to allow deportation proceedings.
In 2019, a third judge allowed Garcia to stay temporarily, but only on
the grounds that hostile gangs might harm him should he return to El
Salvador.
Garcia was pulled over for speeding without a driver’s
license—but with eight illegal aliens who reportedly all lived at the
Garcia residence. The officer released him, despite suspicions that
Garcia was engaged in human trafficking.
Garcia’s live-in
girlfriend, now wife, was physically assaulted by Garcia on two
occasions, suffered injuries, and initially sought restraining orders
against him.
The Left claims Garcia is a “Maryland man” without an arrest record.
But
he is not a U.S. citizen or a legal resident of Maryland. Instead,
Garcia is in legal limbo and remains what he always was—a citizen of El
Salvador with gang ties and formerly residing illegally in the U.S.
Garcia
is now back home on El Salvadoran soil and was mistakenly sent to a
high-security prison. But his own government in El Salvador will
ultimately decide how involved Garcia is or was with MS-13 gangs. And
then, as a sovereign nation, it will act according to its own policies
about its own citizens’ associations with that terrorist organization.
The
Left has demanded that Garcia be returned to the U.S. He has become a
cause célèbre as a purported victim of the supposedly fascist Trump.
Returning Garcia is seen by leftists as a performance art act to derail
the Trump agenda, which otherwise they have neither the power nor public
support to thwart.
The Left also ignores its own hypocrisies and ironies.
Those who weaponized the court system and destroyed the border
now rail that Trump is acting unlawfully by not returning an illegal
alien, an MS-13 member, and a domestic abuser with a propensity to
ignore our laws.
How ironic that those who rail about colonialism now sound like 19th-century Yankee imperialists.
Democrats
do not own El Salvador—although they act like it when dictating to its
government that El Salvador cannot detain one of its own citizens on its
own soil for its own reasons.
