On the left:
Rubio states the U.S. has deported 17 more "violent criminals" - TdA and MS-13 gang members - to El Salvador.
On the right:

He's an idiot. He doesn't seem to understand the basics of the law. I'm not an attorney, but I'm a well educated adult, with a degree in history and poly sci (so I took some basic undergrad pre-law courses. Even I understand that this is caca.
We’ve always been better than that, for 250 years, until these clowns took over.

The paper trail will not exist because it was likely done on Signal with a one week auto delete.
Odds are it will be a Puerto Rican with tattoos.
#DonaldTrump said his #MassDeportation plan would be a “bloody story.” Broadcast nightly news shows didn’t mention it.
Sunday shows also failed to cover Trump’s violent comment
