*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

Democracy Docket is not on Substack. That means it is more expensive for Democracy Docket to get new sign-ups and add features. But, DD has no corporate overlords and is not dependent on investors. It depends only on you.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man.
Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

"I asked the VP if Abrego Garcia has not committed a crime, & the US courts found that he was illegally taken from the US, & El Salvador has no evidence that he was part of MS-13, why is El Salvador continuing to hold him in CECOT? The VP answered that the Trump admin is paying to keep him at CECOT"

JUST IN: Abrego Garcia's lawyers say the Trump administratio has to at least request his return from El Salvador to comply with the Supreme Court's order. Especially since El Salvador is operating like a US prison contractor, they say.

DOJ provides no new information on Abrego Garcia but says if he manages to return to the US, they'll detain him and remove him to a different country (not El Salvador) or seek to "terminate" his order of removal and send him back to El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

HAPPENING SOON: At the courthouse in Greenbelt, Md., a sizeable protest has gathered in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Judge Xinis is set to take the bench at 4. She was right on time Friday (as opposed to some judges who are chronically late)
