"flight manifests for 3 legally contested deportation flights from Texas to El Salvador contain dozens of additional, unaccounted for passengers than a previously published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) list of people deported from the United States on those flights, 404 Media has learned."

Flight Manifests Reveal Dozens of Previously Unknown People on Three Deportation Flights to El Salvador

Hacked data obtained by 404 Media reveals dozens more people on deportation flights to El Salvador who are unaccounted for. “We have not heard from these people’s families, so I think perhaps even they don’t know," one lawyer said.

This phrasing of the ICE action in Worcester, MA as a kidnapping is horrifically accurate

You cannot deprive a person of their liberty without either probable cause that the person committed a crime or a warrant to arrest that person

That’s directly stated in the 4th Amendment of the Constitution

so by this logic, if someone stole all of mark zuckerberg's 180.6 billion US dollars and used it to make their own company, it ought to be fine, because each stolen dollar, when tallied individually, is only a tiny fraction of the whole and therefore basically worthless

Nasty work. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

But their defense also hinges on the argument that the individual books themselves are, essentially, worthless—one expert witness for Meta describes that the influence of a single book in LLM pretraining “adjusted its performance by less than 0.06% on industry standard benchmarks, a meaningless change no different from noise.” Furthermore, Meta says, that while the company “has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in LLM development,” they see no market in paying authors to license their books because “for there to be a market, there must be something of value to exchange, but none of Plaintiffs works has economic value, individually, as training data.” (An argument essential to fair use, but that also sounds like a scaled up version of a scenario in which the New York Philharmonic board argues against paying individual members of the orchestra because the organization spent a lot of money on the upkeep of David Geffen Hall, and also, a solo bassoon cannot play every part in “The Rite of Spring.”)

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

So essentially the president can do anything he wants, regardless of whether or not that’s his constitutional power, say no when told otherwise, and there’s really no mechanisms in this country to stop him? The branches of government and checks and balances were all just suggestions?

Senator Chris Van Hollen (Maryland) is requesting a meeting with Bukele to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

"If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release,”

I'd like to see a full delegation of US senators.

The Honorable Milena Mayorga
Embassy of El Salvador
1400 16th Street NW, Suite 100
Washington, DC 20036
Dear Ambassador Mayorga:
I write to urgently request a meeting with President Bukele during his current visit to the United
States to discuss the illegal detention of my constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported to a
prison in El Salvador. On Saturday evening in a court filing to a federal judge in Maryland, the
Trump Administration confirmed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held in El Salvador's
Terrorism Confinement Center according to Michael G. Kozak, a senior official in the U.S. State
Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. However, they did not detail steps that
have been taken to facilitate his return, as mandated by the Supreme Court.
I have met with Mr. Abrego Garcia’s wife, mother and brother and, as you can imagine, they are
extremely worried about his health, safety, and continued illegal confinement, as am I.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Chris Van Hollen
United States Senator

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.

This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.
