Mr. President, you love playing the schoolyard bully but, at age 79, it’s time to cut it out. It’s one thing to steal one kid’s lunch money, but your bill STEALS LUNCH MONEY FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS. Now, that’s real ugly.

It should horrify you that it took a major media organization publishing a full investigation into the forced disappearance of a Venezuelan man for DHS to admit where it sent him and what his current location is.
“For me, it’s a forced disappearance, because he’s not communicating with anyone, they’re not permitting him a right to anything … ” Alejandro said.
Alejandro is right. Lawyers, journalists, and academics need to start using the correct language.
