(I know. Wishful thinking. 😏)
BTW, same playbook they used during family separation when they ripped kids away from parents & just admitted they weren't tracking them.
WE WILL REBUILD THIS DEMOCRACY!
It’s only an error because they were caught.
Tale as old as time. Predictable.
And until we eliminate (not kill, just eliminate) rich white men this is our country.
As far as I'm concerned Donald Trump illegally deported my fellow Marylander, that's gotta' have some state's rights implications, hasn't it?
Everyone already has their hands full, I don't want to create unnecessary work, but I'm also really fucking pissed off right now.
So "he's bad, he's bad, he's bad, ooops" Gawd these people suck.

These are the underlying facts — as weak as they are, which @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social discussed here: https://bsky.app/profile/reichlinmelnick.bsky.social/post/3llrdgrmpgk2v — that form the underlying basis for Kilmar Abrego Garcia being deported and sent to the El Salvador CECOT prison.
"This removal was an error."
- Abrego-Garcia had protection from removal
- ICE knew
- Manifest said nothing about that b/c he was "an alternate"
- "Administrative error" & "oversight" led to his removal
- Arrest based on "prominent role in MS-13"
- Removal based on "purported membership"
