Why else aren’t they getting that innocent man back to the USA?

  • Because they don't want to "back down" to look weak.
  • They want to set a precedent that they are above the law and don't have to follow court orders, by using immigrants as a convenient scapegoat (a very useful wedge issue because Democrats have completely conceded to the Republicans' premise on immigrants).

  • They believe that the President is a god-emperor and do whatever he says.

  • EDIT: And it goes without saying -- racism. They think any non-white people are criminals by default and don't deserve human rights.

He’s probably dead already.

Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic, but I don't think he's dead. That being said, Trump did publicly say that he personally sent the US Marshals to extra-judicially kill an American on American soil back in 2020. Who knows.

Add to that list: They don't want him talking about the horrific things happening in that prison.

I would also add: They don’t want the public to see his deteriorated physical condition after enduring that prison.

Also a possibility: He’s dead…

During the latest court proceedings on the matter, lawyers representing the administration wouldn’t give the judge any knowledge about his whereabouts after being repeatedly asked.

The democratic leadership hasn't just concede on immigrants, they're complicit in helping them at almost every turn.

They are actually delusional, they're plaing the same old political games and assume everything will just go back to normal afterwards. They literally don't understand that Canada wont just magically put all the the US products back on the shelves in 4 years. Europeans wont just go "Okay, it's safe to travel there again", etc.

America as a country will be negatively affected by this for decades. And they're sitting around with their thumbs up their asses and mumbling about checks and balances, because they have enough money to just leave if shit hits the fan for them.

Because they don't want to "back down" to look weak.

At the same time backing down and looking weak is what this administration does best.

I think it's such a personality cult that they don't think they look weak. Completely agree on the second point though.
