President Donald Trump made a promise with his mass deportation plan: First, we’ll remove the “criminals.”

But the data doesn't lie: immigration raids’ numbers are boosted by the arrest of immigrants who haven’t committed crimes.
Trump is not deporting only “criminals”
“More immigration enforcement always means, as a rule, more people without criminal convictions getting arrested and detained.”

See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.
Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

I would think Maduro has head of state immunity from prosecution under international law (with exception for grave human rights violations, see, e.g., Pinochet)
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Grotesque
Trump to Fox & Friends on the raid that captured Maduro: "I mean, I watched it literally l like I was watching a television show. If you would've seen the speed, the violence -- it was an amazing thing."

Nothing about this is okay.

The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people.

So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story because she wanted to have Stephen Miller included and demanded to control the language 60 Minutes used to describe the men who were brutally tortured after being sent to El Salvador without due process.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

This man is a monster. He has no human empathy. He is an embarrassment to this country. People lost their jobs and are still being hounded because of much more banal comments about Charlie Kirk.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.

The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

"Pete Hegseth’s hostility toward the press has been a defining characteristic of his time as defense secretary. The current controversy over US strikes against suspected drug boats helps demonstrate why," writes CNN's Brian Stelter. | Analysis https://cnn.it/48Kls5I
