About those Venezuelan immigrants Trump cruelly sent to CECOT
A judge ordered that the administration must facilitate their return to the United States so they can pursue their removal claims “with hearings that satisfy the requirements of due process”

Everyone should watch the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT the horrific prison in El Salvador & sending of Venezuelan immigrants there from the USA! This is well done journalism! Every American should be outraged! Shame on Trump stooge Bari Weiss!!! youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

I want to stress, also, how when we approached the Trump White House with a lengthy comment request on our findings, the only things they disputed - among the batch of lawless, titanically rancid shit - were a) Stephen miller was NOT regularly made fun of by his former GOP Hill colleagues…
In a profile of Stephen Miller with @swin24.bsky.social, we reported he’s privately laughed off immigrant families’ “sob stories.”
www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Speaking last night on Fox about the spiked CECOT story, Miller laughed about how ‘60 Minutes’ is “trying to tell sob stories."

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.
