Tom Honan and others ignored a federal judicial order to not deport people. Hold Honan and his conspirators in contempt of court, and lock them up until every person illegally deported to El Salvador is back on US soil. They'll get 'em back real quick.
The Trump administration illegally deported this Maryland father, who was here legally, by "accident" to El Salvador and now they have no way of getting him back. Whoever is responsible for this should be held criminally liable for destroying this person's life.
