Problem is, he (and most of us?) is writing an article online while they are doing actual deportations.
Words don't win over actions I guess.

This is quite accurate historically and runs parallel with what other historian's are saying such as Heather Cox Richardson.
The post makes a good case for why everyone should be preparing, and resisting. This sums up and shows a good difference between the "rule of law" which is what happens when the constitution is followed and defended, and a "rule by law", where exemptions as mentioned are made.
Social Contract Theory touches on how law, a "rule of law", has a primary purpose in non-violent conflict resolution.
The failure of a legal system to meet the components of a "rule of law" at any point within it, on a regular basis (> 3 times in a short time horizon, indicates when violence naturally becomes acceptable historically.
The more it happens, the more acceptable the risk appears, and at a point those of rational mind will see the risk of doing nothing as a existential threat to survival of themselves and their children.
A short relative time horizon is dependent on the average throughput time so several instances within a 3-5 year period may objectively meet observable criteria.
Historian's don't generally speculate in the things they write, but there should be one large question being asked by everyone. What if the reason they didn't return this person is because he was cremated under Bukele, and we only think he's in a prison concentration camp because that's what they said. Food for thought.
First they come for the immigrants, then they come for you, or your children.
