At a minimum the administration shouldn't be allowed to send another
person out of the country without due process. There needs to be a
hearing where someone independent can make a determination 1) is this
the person they say it is and 2) is there sufficient cause to deport
them. That process would have (or should have) prevented Garcia from
being deported to that El Salvador prison.

I know they are pretending there's no way to get the man back but if
that's what they want to pretend then they shouldn't be allowed to
send another person to that prison. They want to pretend they are
still in US custody (hence why we are paying them to retain the
prisoners) but then pretending they have no control over what happens
to them.
