US accidentally sent Maryland father to Salvadorian prison, can't get him back

This is more like driving at very high speeds, closing your eyes and then being surprised you caused an accident. They are ignoring all the usual checks safety mechanisms and the legal rights of the people they are sending to a prison in El Salvador that would usually apply.

That's... why there should be a due process with thorough checks before something like this happens - it might as well happen with tough checks, but up until now we've seen scenes of people being detained by masked officers not willing to identify or to explain the situation

People have been advocating avoiding the word accident in traffic crashes exactly for this reason:

> It’s a crash, not an accident. End the language of denial.

> I can’t help but get upset when people call a crash an accident. I lost my leg in a crash with a lorry. It was preventable – and even though the driver didn’t intend for the crash to happen, it was still his fault

Oh my dear lord.

Due process exists for precisely this reason, and Trump and his band of sycophants intentionally bypassed due process as a "show of strength". An example. A wilful accident.

There were already processes in place so that exactly this kind of accident does not occur.

Good people who make mistakes then try to correct them. That is not happening here.
