Due Process is for ALL PERSONS

Your position on returning Abrego to the United States to receive due process is both embarrassing to you and the globe.
I don't remember the United States Supreme Court directing El Salvador to do anything. How dare you disgrace our Justices by implying that's what they tried to do.
They directed OUR government to at least ATTEMPT to return him for due process.
Even serial killers get due process. Even if he's deported again, he still deserved due process.
Throughout the Constitution it clearly distinguishes when something applies only to citizens. Due Process is for persons, not just citizens.
Regardless of your or anyone else's opinion of whether due process is needed here or what kind of man he is, he is a PERSON.
The administration admitted a mistake, and they need to make efforts to correct their mistake.
I'm disgusted, absolutely disgusted, and horrified, scared to my core that you are choosing to SUPPORT this clearly Constitution violation, and publicly supporting the administration ignoring SCOTUS orders.
What the hell do YOU think due process means? School shooters in video with witnesses, they get due process.
It's a right for all PERSONS.
When this regime is gone and law and order is returned should Due Process be ignored for all Republicans on video, and written statements like yours supporting these horrific actions be ignored?
As another judge has stated, even nazis had more due process.
Should we skip that step when we look at you all in a few years? Because we are all drowning in evidence that you're guilty of aiding and abetting these constitutional violations.
I used to respect you. I'm a registered Republican. But this is going waaaaayyyy too far, and I do not trust Republicans to protect the constitution anymore.
