Can I just point something out? Ghislane Maxwell ALSO sexually abused and raped children. She wasn't just a recruiter. She was a child rapist also.
Stop assuming that she is going to anything that isn't in her own interest.
She's a sociopath at best, and she wants out of prison, any way she can.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
