Thread. And a must read.
I’ve spent the last month interviewing people expelled to Costa Rica under the “invasion” proclamation.
The treatment they were accorded at the border by CBP is some of the worst I have heard in 6.5 years of interviewing asylum seekers.
Reports to come— some of the hardest I’ve worked on.

Authoritarians want you to despair, they want you to give up Trump is powerful, but only because a lot of people gave him that power. Giving up in advance is one of the worst things you can do.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "There was a time that we could take [the federal government] at their word. That time has long passed. That is why we are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place."

Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections.

Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys
