BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

Honestly it should be standard practice that a country bans a company or person from a country that bans reciprocal purchases. A huge portion of the world restricts purchases of land (across most or any purpose) to non citizens or international companies. Why should they be given an advantage?

Let us know how to help, both technical and non technical help. There are a huge pool of Canadian resources that will volunteer or contribute at low cost to help get this going.

Glad to see this happened for Harvard and UofT. Talking w/ academics & there are quite a few US institutions in discussion now on remote campus programs in great Canadian universities. Unfortunately this just continues to expand the problem of education inequity which contributes to problems.

Piss them off, push them to existential challenge then leave them with all the dangerous stuff. Like, I'm not a fan of what happened, but JFC if you are gonna start it, then finish it. Otherwise dirty bombs will be in western cities within 2yrs.

Proper smoked meat sandwich and a little less proper poutine at Mortys in Hong Kong a few days ago. Shout out to Mortys for great meat.

Canada is a centrist country. In normal times Carney would be a conservative leader, but the current Alberta led reform alliance they took over the conservative party are not conservatives, and Carney Is a proper centrist with both left and right leaning policies.

I and a few other Canadian friends have decided to replace the use of the word bullshit with trumpshit in everyday use. You can substitute BS with TS from now on also.

It maybe time for Harvard to discuss with the Canadian gov't opening a remote private Campus in Canada with normal student visa privileges. Good for Harvard, student body, good for Canada and a work around to Trumps continued pettiness.

Episode IV
It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Canada & Australia have rejected fascism. Many conservative parties stopped being conservative 10-15 yrs ago. They are coordinating ideas through IDU (International Democracy Union). They are not the fiscal conservatives we knew. Now, hate-filled social conservative extremism. Evangelical Al QAEDA.
