Bring them all home, all 238 Venezuelan migrants. Congress should do nothing else until they are all back to where they'd been living in the United States, AND are duly compensated for damages. Seriously. Also, a law must be passed to prevent the apprehension of anyone by officers w/o IDs.
Absolutely. I'm originally from Michigan, and actually a friend of mine from college dated Elissa while we were there. small world. I'm actually going to call my reps (in Oregon) using 5calls.org - don't know if you know that site?
Oh, sorry, my bad.. I thought you transplanted TO MI, not away. That's a good place to land tho! Yes, I'm using 5calls and have already called her. #KeepFighting
Good reporting but where the fuck have you been the last 8 years? You used to be a cornerstone of truth....disappointed. And Lesley....sunset, ride towards it girl. Much respect but buy a fishing rod you legend.
Disgusting to no end. It was frighteningly very real and it was planned and choreographed ahead of time. Here’s part of Timothy Snyder’s essay on Substack when it occurred:
Did they fuck up, though? Because I'm not seeing much indication that it's going to hurt the administration at all. And most news outlets are not describing it nearly as accurately as 60 Minutes here.
well, they could have only enslaved the 25% for whom they did find criminal records for and that would be much harder to fight. so relative to that, yes.
Joe Rogan, and some other right wing media and some pundits have objected to the sympathetic cases, esp Andry and Ozturk.
not enough, but it's an opening. It will take organization to exploit. And we'll need to have message discipline and keep putting their faces and stories out there
This is unacceptable, and I would not be surprised if this administration knew most of them have no criminal record. The proper remedy is to Bring them back for due process. Enough of this lawless Trump!
Don't doubt it was skin color/accent that doomed them to cruel corrupt lawless ICE leadership who just want film of NOT WHITE ENOUGH people being manhandled-sent to a prison known for being among the world's worse. WHAT is worst. Trump paid for the prison to take & abuse them with OUR TAX MONEY.
THIS MAKES ME BEYOND SICK😡 @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social I demand you have these people returned to their families and give them due process!!!
One couldn't expect Pam Bondi to get bogged down in legal niceties like due process or justice. That type of work could interfere with her daily appearances on Fox.
While I agree that this is probably true, 60 minutes and news magazine shows have always had issues with credibility and with editing (I learned this reading Mick Foleys autobiography decades ago lol) so using 60 minutes to convince the fence sitters is a fools game
I’m so glad to see that you are doing honest stories about the atrocities that are being done in our name. One of the only organizations willing to pull back the curtain and show the truth.
The Nazis dehumanized the Jews by stripping them naked and shaving the heads of men, women, and children. These are the tactics being used today on people “disappeared” to El Salvador by the United States government.
America is now a Nazi regime. Don't look away from how the world sees us.
Love the post, hate the narrative. I'm disgusted by what the officials of our country are doing and I'm heartsick over what's happening to these people who are being deported to a horrendous prison. We MUST do better! Trump and his cronies need to GO!!!
I think Miller, Noem, Bondi, etc., are hoping the SCOTUS will rule that the Fifth Amendment doesn't actually mean that due process applies to everyone.
This is EVIL and a crime against humanity. And if media don’t find their courage, this is the fate that awaits ALL of us. No amount of sucking up will appease, nor should we appease a monster committing atrocities in our name & with our money.
Because NONE of them were criminals. This Administration is lying their asses off & putting people through hell because they’re immigrants. Nothing more needs to be said. The ones implementing these policies, rounding the people up, sending them to a known hell hole need to be arrested themselves.
Straight out of history: Jews were taken from their homes, rounded up on streets, while at prayer and transported to extinction camps. There they just vanished into the chambers or were killed as they stood over mass graves were the other bodies already were rotting. Will these men be seen again?
Is any one in leadership or power going to bring them back ? Or are non criminal deportees going to die in El Salvador prisons? Where is the majority outcry?
No fucking shit. It’s almost as if they’re just going to fucking claim everyone they deport is “allegedly a ” with no regard to if they actually do have a criminal record, or are even US citizens.
Those people are victims of one of the most heinous crimes committed by the United States. Even if they are brought back alive, this is a crime that America can never hope to repay even long after trump is gone (hopefully in a bodybag) this a crime that will stay with the victims for life
I just watched the 60 Minutes segment on the Venezuelans sent to El Salvador. This is sickening that our government is doing this. We will have no basis to ever lecture anyone on human rights again.
Appalling. Send little Marco back down, along with Homan and Noem to remove those with no criminal record. They are such badasses, make them do it. Marco set up the deal. Homan and Noem were too happy to pull the trigger without confirmation. They were ecstatic to round them up. Inhumane bastards.
El Salvador prison is nothing but the MAGAts' equivalent of the Colosseum. The whole affair is nothing but a spectacle of cruelty for them to enjoy the humiliation and siffering of lesser creatures.
Thank you for driving awareness @60minutes.bsky.social - it was so easy to guess this would be the case, that they’d been scooped up and sent to hell on earth just for theatrics. Let’s get them back to US soil.
But Sec'y Noem is "sexy and beautiful " going on ICE runs, and the SC gives mixed messages about the Alien Act usage, and congress abdicated, and the IRS betrays 7 million tax filers.. 🙄 🤦🏼
I thought I heard someone from the administration say in an interview that they were removing them before they could do something wrong. I can’t remember who it was and certainly didn’t agree with them.
What if he decides to do the same thing to people with citizenship? It has to be stopped now or the possibility exists that you or a family member or friend could be next!
@maddow.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @repsuhas.bsky.social please help get them back
I get the feeling that they just wanted to do this as a photo op and they did not care who they sent as long as they had a large group of people for the film that was made and they sent out. We should demand that everyone gets due process!
the recent demonstrations are good for showing togetherness, but in order to stop this atrocious fascist nightmare folks will have to start thinking about the next steps
That El Salvador dungeon serves as Trump's Tower of London. It's a place to send all of his opponents to be tortured & terrorized. All due process is denied. Any of us can be grabbed. Our Founders banned this in the USA. They knew the history. Trump absolutely loves it, as do his right-wing fans.
Thank you @60minutes.bsky.social for being honest. CBS in general had been clear and thorough with their reporting. Sunday morning has been great as well.
Everyone responsible for this should be brought to swift justice. Our whole country will be condemned by history if we don’t reverse this injustice and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Trump is-What can anyone really say to describe this cruel & ignorant man
He is destroying our country on purpose
He’s becoming Putin
The Republicans in Congress think they are winning
He will dump them soon when he thinks he’s won

Armed force is not the only answer. El Salvador has important diplomatic and economic relations with other countries. So does the USA. Trump is not an ideologue he is an opportunist and a narcissist. He needs to understand that this is not in his personal best interest.
I guess I did read "government force" as armed force. You are right- I am not sure why I read it that way. Something to think about I guess. Maybe just because it is a dangerous time and I hear a lot concern from people I know about this all leading to some kind of armed conflict.
The USA does have relationships with other countries - but it’s not stopping this administration from damaging those relationships wantonly. But I do agree that a diplomatic solution for the deportee situation is the best option.
How can a president condemn someone to a 'hellhole' after taking an oath to defend the Constitution, which, according to the Eighth Amendment, prohibits cruel and unusual punishments?
God. This is worse than I expected. Absolutely inhumane and evil. This can’t stand. Trump should be impeached immediately and these people should be rescued.

This is EVIL
America is now a Nazi regime. Don't look away from how the world sees us.
SCOTUS needs to set some guidelines for their monster
Hitler did.
1. Evidence of utter disregard for due process (“DP”) required by law, not optional
2. 100% of persons sent to Bukele’s gulag black site had their DP rights violated
3. The transfer of *anyone* in the US to a black site prison is a red flag… for everyone!
They all need freed.
There is no doubt we have sent innocent people to a labor prison notorious for its horrible conditions.
But the price of eggs was high..
Wtf are we doing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone's_ratio
They think it's funny.
You only deny due process when you don't have a case. This is tyranny
Could you do that?
What does one think/feel when they know that one innocent person is in a torture prison and they can pick up the phone and stop it.
How could you not?
He is destroying our country on purpose

What has this nation become. Shame on the law enforcement officers for not upholding their oath.
This is a tragedy.
This is up to the american people and your weapons.
The prisoners' family can petition it - IF they have the right lawyers and none of them risk retaliation.
And as such no respect is due them.
Are we great yet, because that seems to be getting further and further away
Furthermore, no criminal record is required to remove foreign nationals from the United States if they have no legal basis to remain.
America cannot welcome everyone who wants to live here.
Now Venezuela welcomes its nationals back home.
