Lawrence O’Donnell: Trump Admin. Is Now Saying that an ‘Administrative Error Cannot Be Fixed’
EXCERPT:
O’DONNELL: “And Donald Trump and his lawyers are saying in court that the administrative error can never be fixed, because once they’ve sent someone to that El Salvador prison, there is nothing they can do to get that person out of that El Salvador prison, even though the gangster-style president of El Salvador was in the Oval Office sucking up to his new friend Donald Trump in every way he possibly could, posting pictures, calling Donald Trump 'my friend.' And so, obviously, the president of El Salvador will do anything for his friend, the president of the United States, including helping to return Mr. Abrego Garcia or anyone else. So, as it stands tonight, we live in a country where the president of the United States and his lawyers are insisting in court that the president can snatch anyone in America out of their car while their child is in the back seat, as was the case for Mr. Abrego Garcia, put that person on a plane to El Salvador, locking that person up in a prison in El Salvador, and if it turns out that that person is an American citizen who has never committed a crime anywhere in the world, then that’s just an administrative error and it cannot be fixed."
