Is this fake? I can't find anything online or in the news about him.
Why might Democrats insist that these people be freed?

He was convicted and is now serving his sentence. Why would I want him to be freed?
Your ineptitude isn't an indication of falsehood.
That's truly disgusting.
It says more about magas who think the Epstein files are another witch hunt against the PP. Stop "suspecting" and show some evidence for your vile comment.
So far, you have refused to insist that any of these Pelosian sparks of divinity be freed.
I consider that a good sign.
This thread has nothing to do with Epstein, as you well know.
Can't you find a single one of these detainees to advocate for?
Well duh. Why didn't you put his last name, "al-Sharafi" in your post? Your ineptitude in not posting his full name is on you.
What? I input his name exactly as depicted in the post by ICE and got a hit immediately. Several, in fact.
I refer the honorable member to my last response.
I guess you think that removing him without charging and punishing him for his alleged crimes is a good idea.
Why don't you try making your own post instead of reposting all the twits?
Yes, I read that. Where's the part where he was convicted of burglary and assault, and put in prison here in the US? Apparently you support sending him back to his native country without paying for his crimes."He is currently being processed for removal proceedings.".
Why don't you just tell me what you're fishing for so I can address it, instead of doing all this googling.
Btw, your faith in ICE is touching.
Quelle surprise.
The individual in the X post (Severiano Martinez-Basquez, a Mexican citizen arrested by Bellingham Border Patrol agents assisting ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations near Tacoma, WA, on March 13, 2026) has multiple arrests for burglary and assault and is described as “currently being processed for removal proceedings.”
Even if convictions later occur, they are not needed to initiate or complete removal. ICE frequently uses detainers to take custody from local jails and starts removal while state/local criminal cases are ongoing.
Removal (deportation) proceedings under Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) § 240 are a civil administrative process separate from any criminal prosecution. They can begin based solely on immigration violations, such as unlawful presence in the U.S. (e.g., entry without inspection or admission), without any criminal arrest or conviction.
Unlawful presence alone triggers removability: Most noncitizens placed in removal proceedings lack lawful immigration status (e.g., entered without inspection or overstayed a visa). This is a civil violation, and ICE can issue a Notice to Appear (NTA) to start proceedings immediately. No criminal record is required.
Criminal grounds are optional and separate: Certain criminal convictions (e.g., aggravated felonies, crimes involving moral turpitude, or controlled-substance offenses under INA § 237(a)(2)) can make someone deportable after a conviction. However, these are not prerequisites for starting proceedings. Proceedings can (and routinely do) begin on non-criminal grounds like unlawful presence, even while criminal charges are pending or unresolved.
ICE/ERO can detain the individual and issue an NTA right away. Proceedings occur in immigration court (Executive Office for Immigration Review), where the government must prove removability by clear and convincing evidence (for those previously admitted) or by a preponderance (for others). The person may seek relief (e.g., cancellation of removal if eligible), but the mere fact of pending or unproven criminal charges does not pause or block the immigration process.
This is standard under current law (INA §§ 1229, 1229a, 1231 and implementing regulations). The post accurately reflects routine ICE practice: removable noncitizens with criminal histories (even just arrests) are prioritized for removal without needing criminal convictions first.
The law is the law.
Are you insisting that he be freed?
Yes, or no?
Answer, Christiecrite!
Liberia, huh. Shows what a sadistic sociopath trump is.
"Kilmar Armando Ábrego García, a Salvadoran man living in the United States, was illegally deported on March 15, 2025, by the US government under the Trump administration, which called it "an administrative error". At the time, he had never been charged with or convicted of a crime in either country; despite this, he was imprisoned without trial in the Salvadoran Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). His case became the most prominent of the hundreds of migrants the US sent to be jailed without trial at CECOT under the countries' agreement where the US would pay the Salvadoran government to imprison US deportees there."
