Still annoyed that media is using the term “deported” (even “wrongly deported”).
Abrego Garcia and others were transferred for money and without due process. That’s human trafficking. These men were *kidnapped* and *trafficked* and any reporting should always reflect this.

This is proof of life. Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.
And proof that Bukele can grant access to prisoners.
And that Bukele is a punk:
“Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody.”
Bukele git $6M from the US to host this prison camp.

No, the President actually does not decide how tax dollars are spent. Congress does.
It would be good if we had an Attorney General who focused on understanding the law rather than groveling and reciting lies to score points with the President.
What an embarrassing spectacle.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
