We at ProPublica obtained internal government data in May that showed the Trump administration knew the vast majority of Venezuelans sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes. Our reporting is featured in Frontline. Read our full coverage: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

You’ll notice the American state media are busy covering up the MAGA regime’s crimes against humanity after it was revealed they are literally shipping people to be brutally tortured in a concentration camp.
Their lust for clicks and views have destroyed our democracy.

After Epstein's 2019 death "prosecutors produced a seven-page memo on co-conspirators they might consider charging and followed that with an 86-page update in December ... a 13-page memo of corporate prosecutions they might pursue and a 26-page memo regarding another target prosecutors considered."

The Justice Department didn’t respond to requests for comment on the new documents or the decision to remove them.

Yep. The government started arresting people at immigration courts and wouldn’t you know it, more people started skipping court.
Damned if you do; damned if you don't. The government spent months turning immigration court into a deportation trap.
More immigrants are not showing up for their mandatory immigration court hearings compared to prior years, an NPR analysis shows, allowing the government to order their immediate deportation. n.pr/4saLnem

This interview with Lindsey Graham is ridiculous.
No politician should be allowed to grandstand in support of Trump bombing boats or going to war with Venezuela without being challenged on why he pardoned a major drug kingpin, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.

So, will they just lick his boots and pretend to give him what he wants?

Trump: "With respect to the insurance companies, I want to meet. There's essentially 14 of them, 10 big. I want to meet with them and say, 'I want you to cut your rates. Way down. Way way down.' And maybe, if they do that, we'll be able to not cut them out. We'll be able to continue to deal w/them."
