Senator Mark Spreitzer Slams President Trump for Ignoring the Rule of Law, Threats to Citizens
BELOIT – State Senator Mark Spreitzer (D-Beloit) released the following statement reacting to the decisions of President Donald Trump and his administration to willfully ignore a unanimous ruling from the United States Supreme Court in Noem v. Abrego Garcia which directed the Trump Administration to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was illegally deported to El Salvador from his home in Maryland.
“The President has had every opportunity to do the right thing and fix a situation that his own attorney called an error and a mistake. President Trump met with President Bukele of El Salvador in the Oval Office yesterday, and instead of requesting Abrego Garcia’s immediate return, he continued to insist he would not change course. Earlier today, the White House made clear that they not only will not be seeking Abrego Garcia’s return, they would deport him again if given the chance. This rejection of facts and the law is a dangerous sign for anyone who values the rule of law in our country.
“The President has also made clear that he will not stop with this case. In the Oval Office, he publicly discussed sending US citizens to foreign prisons with the same illegal process. That is not how our laws work. Everyone in the United States is constitutionally guaranteed a right to due process: to hear the arguments made against them and have their response heard in court before a decision is made to take away their rights. President Trump is actively arguing against those rights and has made clear he will break the law whenever he wants – no matter what the Supreme Court says. We must be clear: that is illegal and it is dangerous.
