Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

This week Trump's ICE fascists illegally kidnapped & deported a 19-year-old girl to Honduras despite a court order to keep her in the USA—while Trump himself pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of running Honduras "like a narco-state" & accepted millions in bribes from drug traffickers. smh.

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
