@60minutes.bsky.social investigated the 238 individuals deported to El Salvador:

75% - no criminal record found
22% - criminal record found, but the vast majority were nonviolent offenses (shoplifting, trespassing, etc)
3% - unclear

This is wrong. Full stop.

P.S. Don’t buy the narrative that the individuals deported to and imprisoned in El Salvador are hardened criminals or gang members.

I’ve shared this before, but it bears repeating.

And we’ve already seen that they won’t try to fix mistakes:

“The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.”

I’m far from the first to make this argument. A more eloquent version hangs on the wall of the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

And it won’t matter that you worked hard to build a life for you and your family. It won’t matter that you were law abiding and always paid your taxes and went to church. It won’t matter that you voted for him and were loyal to his vision. It won’t matter that it’s unfair.

But eventually they’ll shift the blame to you. And you’ll feel the injustice because this must be a mistake. You aren’t bad or wrong or illegal. And surely there are laws to protect you from this kind of mistake. But they don’t care what the judges think. They know what’s best for America.

They’ll tell you all your problems are someone else’s fault. And you’ll want to believe them because there must be someone to blame. Life is hard & eggs are expensive. We’re all just trying our best. And maybe they know something you don’t. It doesn’t impact you directly, so you look the other way.

When they are done with immigrants, have no doubt that they will turn next to some other disfavored group… Muslims, queer folks, people with disabilities, academics, and so on. This will not end when Homan reaches his deportation goal. The admin will just shift elsewhere.
