Never forget, Russia started the war unprovoked. Only because the billionaire dictator Putin wanted to expand his territories, steal Ukraine’s vast natural resources, and make himself wealthier.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.
