      I don’t even think it’s this. They get off on brutality. They’ll just stick with the story that he deserved it because he was a gang member. The Israelis have already demonstrated how far you can go by calling any journalist, paramedic, or child you murder a militant, against overwhelming evidence. This would be deeply shocking to the “it can’t happen here” libs, but it will not fracture the fascist political base. They enjoy it when the libs are pulling their hair out.

      If they fold on Abrego Garcia, their power is checked. If they stand their ground, they solidify their power to use the vast federal “law enforcement” apparatus to arbitrarily issue death sentences without a trial. This is ultimately what they are after.
