We reconstructed how President Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador struck a deal that led to the deportation of over 200 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran prison. Here's a timeline starting the day deportation planes took off, even as a federal judge tried to halt them. nyti.ms/4cTzdPT

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.
This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.
We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
