I 100% understand your hypotheticals. I just don’t understand why you think they are important or what you think they solve.
I’m just looking for discussion. I don’t mean to imply they are important or even relevant.
They knew what ES offered. They chose to accept it. They could have chosen not to accept it and find another country who wouldn’t incarcerate. But they didn’t.
My point was focused on possible motive, not necessarily results. With scenario 1, incarceration would have been mandatory. With scenario 2, it would have been optional.
Turns out ES wasn’t about to let them roam free. I really don’t think the administration cared one way or the other, whether they were incarcerated, as long as they were no longer in the US.
My guess is that at the end of the 1-year contract they will likely land back in their native Venezuela.
So your scenario 1 is exactly what happened. The US wanted a foreign country to send their criminals and prison is where you house criminals.
They could have been incarcerated in either scenario.
Worldwatcher:
He was abducted in Maryland which is where he and his wife live (well he lived until the US government mistake that resulted in his being in prison). That’s where SHE filed the original complaint.

But all immigration related activity took place in Texas. That’s where he was being detained before his mistaken deportation.
And he wasn’t abducted.

Yes he was abducted, the US Government even admits his capture wad a mistake.
Maryland is where he lived, Maryland is where he worked, Maryland is where his wife and children are.
Maryland is where he was abducted and so that is where the immigration related activity started and where his wife filed the initial complaint.
There is still more Garcia to come. But as to the rinse, repeat, rinse again. You are spot on. While we wait for the next Garcia shoe to drop, we are rehashing past history over and over again.
