Former special counsel Jack Smith tells a congressional committee that his team found "proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to portions of his opening statement obtained by NBC News.

And beyond that, setting an artificial quota runs contrary to the notion that denaturalization should only occur in set situations. Quotas for deportations have led to rounding up grandmas & 4 years olds getting cancer treatment, diverting law enforcement resources from serious crime.

They were disturbing & hard to review—but even harder for survivors to have experienced.
