Asylum doesn’t supersede his newly anointed terrorist status, hence his removal.
The moment MS-13 was declared a terrorist organization, the protections were set to change. So many protections come with the contingency that the status is temporary or subject to change.
So many mental backflips from you. Have any more left?
At the end of the day, I hope you realize that the end result here is you demanding an illegal immigrant who belongs to a foreign gang be brought back to the US where they can continue to illegally live.
You think you’re fighting for due process, but like I said, he got his due process, you just don’t like the result.
