I'll give you an important excerpt: “Experts in Venezuela who study the gang have all stated that there are no tattoos that associate gang members. It’s not like the Central American MS-13 gang where tattoos are relevant in their organization.”

If you want, focus on those people who were in the country legally and have no criminal record.

The majority of people being deported are not violent and have never had anything to do with gangs in their lives. The majority of people being deported are harmless agricultural workers, maintenance workers, kitchen workers, landscapers, and so on, who keep millions of American businesses afloat.

Only a small handful of actual gang members were deported, and there was nothing stopping ICE from doing that even prior to Trump other than their own dysfunction.

I was just reading about a guy who got picked up just because he's a Real Madrid soccer fan. I'm fine with rounding up violent criminals but since when is it a violent offense to be a soccer fan? They are going too far. This is ridiculous and unacceptable.

Not only are they going too far they are proud of it. Holman did an interview where he admitted there would be and have been innocent people picked up who were no more than around near a “suspected” person that they were trying to deport. Like what. So now you’re rounding up innocents and sending them to prision without even due process.

You are correct that most Americans don’t care about Venezuela gang members being deported.

But the thing that should concern all of us is that most did not receive due process, and some appear to have been sent their mistakenly. Like the gay make up artist. Or the young man with the autism awareness tattoo. Or the women in the group that were sent to El Salvador and promptly returned by the El Salvadoran government because it does not accept female prisoners.

The lack of due process is a HUGE problem. It fundamentally shakes any trust and confidence in federal law enforcement.

That, and the abysmal lack of transparency and the fact that they are rounding up people who are here LEGALLY - that should be of concern to EVERY American. That is how bad things have happened throughout history - whether Nazi concentration camps, Stalin's purges, the Great Leap Forward in China, Pol Pot and so on.

Nowhere in history has anything good ever come of this type of behavior.

A judge then ordered the planes back, telling the government's lawyers verbally that they should do so "however that's accomplished — whether turning around the plane or not."

But the court order was never heeded, and the planes stayed the course.

"Oopsie…too late," El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, posted on X after the deportees landed in his country. He included an emoji crying with laughter. The post was reshared by the White House's director of communications, Steven Cheung.

Why didn't Judge Boasberg hold the government attorneys in contempt and issue a bench warrant and out them in DC jail for a few weeks.

He is the one I was just talking about above. He has no criminal record anywhere. He is a professional goalie and youth soccer coach. He applied for asylum and did everything legally. He was detained (under Biden, it should be added), awaiting his hearing in April, due to a crowned soccer ball tattoo. Crowns are one of the tattoos DHS looks for.

Up to here, we might have our disagreements about aggressive and potentially misguided profiling methods but ok...

Until Trump decides to round up any Venezuelan who has ever been flagged for having a tattoo.

This is not ok! This guy should not be in a maximum security Salvadoran prison. What can we do about this???

For the record, I completely get how/why El Salvador built Cecot. But when they did that were they expecting all this press and al these visits? Are they now trying to be the jail country? And if so what’s in it for them?

You don't get how advertising that crime doesn't pay could make a country appealing?

And what's in it for them sees to be a suddenly functional country. Despite all the complaints from the usual suspects the country is actually nice to live in for the first time in generations.

I'd like to know who you mean when you say "the usuals suspects" so dismissively. Are you talking about the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the UN? Because a lot of us respect the UN.

The United States was founded on principles of liberty, justice, and equality. It is un-American to gloss over human rights abuses.

Except that the United States never got around to fully extending Liberty, justice, and equality to all of us — deliberately, by design. It’s inhumane to gloss over human rights abuses — including legal racial segregation. Yeah, some of us, even in the DC area, experienced that. If you’re going to support the principles you should also acknowledge the crimes that those principles allowed to fester.

Cool. They can find me at the African American History and Culture Museum. I was just reminded of it . They can take me there

I read a lot recently so I can retell those stories

Also, I saw about 1OO Karen arrest videos on line during the pandemic — so I feel ready for that reaction and I would not take the bait!

Read for that interaction or engagement.
Awesome. My diet might take a bit but I am cool with that too. Just lost five pounds since Trump fired me!

And don’t forget the gay Venezuelan make up artist who was in the US legally when he was sent to the El Salvadorean prison with no due process. Pretty sure he’s not a gang member. I fear for his safety in that hellhole.

Weird. But I also basically painted myself as a church singer when I got divorced before a judge. I sing in the shower.

I mean … I’ll wait to see what they have on him. You never know

That could be fake
