The Trump administration is substantially scaling back the State Department's annual reports on international human rights to remove longstanding critiques of abuses such as harsh prison conditions, government corruption and restrictions on participation in the political process, NPR has learned. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/18/nx-s1-5357511/state-department-human-rights-report-cuts Yes, it's illegal to do that |
"But some deletions are more noteworthy than others. The Trump administration recently negotiated the transfer of immigrants from the U.S. into El Salvador's notorious prison system. In a draft of the forthcoming report on that country reviewed by NPR, the section on prison conditions is erased. The only remnants of those violations are reports on prison deaths that fall into the category of "extrajudicial killings" and a mention of abuse by prison guards in a legislatively mandated section on "Torture and Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment." |
The U.S. is now on the list of bad countries

Can you explain how it's illegal for the State Department to scale back spending on monitoring international human rights? |
I don't want to live in your stupid take on America. You will find that most Americans don’t want that either NP |

Nor is fentenyl as big of a security threat, but it makes a reason for martial law |
Congress, what are you doing????????? |
Being afraid. See the thread on Murkowski. |
Of course he would. Otherwise, Trump himself would end up in a report of violation of human rights abuses. Not to mention his brothers in thought Bukele, Netanyahu, Putin and Orban. |
Worthless, shriveling cowards. |
There are a number of news stories out there about how we’re slipping in worldwide democracy rankings. Here is just one. US could lose democracy status, says global watchdog https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-democracy-report-1.7486317 |
The U.S is now the $hithole. |
And aligning itself with dictators like Bukele. |
Yes, America is so bad but people are willing to risk death crossing deserts and danger to sneak across the border. I think what you meant to say is America is becoming bad for Marxists/Global Socialists/Leftists and “Progressives.” Americans have stood up and rallied under the banner of Trump and said, “No more of this stupid crap from the wacked-out lunatic Democratic party. “ |
