You're only believing what you WANT to believe. I prefer to base my opinions on facts and evidence. Where are the photos of him after being beaten and mistreated? Where are the black eyes? Where are the bruises? You realize these prisoners are under 24/7 surveillance, right? They're being recorded non-stop. For the short time he was in CECOT, he should have had some evidence of mistreatment to show Van Hollen. But, there was none. Only his words which are most likely being fed to him by his lawyers. He stated that he was told that he would be put in a cell where other prisoners would "tear him up". Where's the proof? Even if true, it's just jailhouse chatter. But, we'll never know if any of what he is saying is true, because there's simply no evidence of what he is saying. However, there IS evidence of him watching TV, playing soccer, playing chess, gardening and enjoying margaritas. Do you not believe your own eyes? Take off those liberal blinders, man!
Just watch Bukele’s first video if you're so eager to take his word. Most of the accounts offered by Abrego Garcia in the filing are shown there. As you may recall, the only reason anyone even knew he was there was that his wife recognized him in the video.
I didn’t say I took Bukele’s word. What I’m saying is that there is no evidence for what Abrego is saying. None. Yet, you seem to believe his account as if it were gospel. It sounds to me as though you have an agenda and pre-conceived notions. Shame on you.
From your friend, Artie Intel . . . “Shylock" as a term or character does not necessarily refer to someone who is Jewish. While the character Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is a Jewish moneylender, the term "shylock" has evolved to describe a usurious person, particularly a loan shark, regardless of their religion. The term has become associated with antisemitic stereotypes due to the character's portrayal, but it's important to remember that it's not inherently tied to Jewish identity.
There's video footage of Abrego Garcia personally and others going through most all of what he's claiming
Could you provide that video of Abrego? I would be especially interested in the beatings and the threats.
Where is the video of Abrego "personally going through most all of what he's claiming"? .... .... .... .... Oh, wait... I think I found it! Damn, you were right, man! I stand corrected! This video shows, without one iota of doubt, that Abrego suffered beatings, psychological torture, intimidation and humiliation beyond the pale of human suffering. The worst part is at the end where it shows him bloodied, bruised and broken. It's very hard to watch; I had to turn away. Here's the video. Let everyone here view it so they may see for themselves what this poor man was subjected to. Let the Nuremberg trials begin!! P.S. @GeneWright, if you're going to make a claim, at least TRY to back it up.
Obviously there isn't beatings on video, yet anyway, but the promotional video shows plenty of abuse. Can you use your brain for 1 second here? They hype up how this is the worst place in the world to end up, for the "worst of the worst." The torture via no matresses and no darkness ever is one of the selling points. Do you really think that's all lies and it's actually the club med once you're in? Obviously they staged videos of him so people like you would do exactly what you're doing now. It's the most gruel thin propaganda.
Change my mind with the video you said existed... do you recall the video you said showed "footage of Abrego Garcia personally and others going through most all of what he's claiming"? If you can't produce it, then you have no evidence. Otherwise, I'm going to go with the evidence that DOES EXIST showing him gardening, playing soccer, etc.
I can't point him out, but his wife spotted him in the video Bukele posted. That's the only reason we knew he we there Fair is fair though, can you point him out in the videos of gardening/soccer? And yeah, obviously they treated him well and documented it the moment he was going to escape the "inescapable prison" Any videos from before the week of the senator visit?
Perhaps we could debate the videos of him trafficking humans? Or even better, how about the video of him hitting his wife??
Whether I do or not, both charges are court proven and that isn’t tbe point anyway. I simply do not understand why the left would die on the hill of an evil man and not say a word when Biden’s administration jailed an old woman for praying outside of an abortion clinic. This fascination with supporting evil disturbs the hell out of me.
No, that's exactly the point. You are wrong. He was not convicted of anything, that's why what's happening to him is so important and disturbing.
