We don’t if they were gang members, only that Trump’s DOJ says they were. But they’ve had no trials. They are “accused.” They are “alleged” to be members of a gang that Trump has named. And now they are vanished.
This is an actual nightmare and we should be up in arms.

250 Venezuelans have been disappeared into one of the worst prisons in Central America based on Trump’s invocation of a law only used 3 times in our history - the last time resulted in the Japanese-American internment. These men have had no due process. It’s monstrous.

Do we actually know who any of them are?
This is how it begins...
Nobody leaves that place; ever.
They get ZERO time outside and are fed a starvation diet that makes them weaker and sicker every day.
All the prisoners look ill and they’re dying in the overcrowded cells.
NOBODY DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS.
The last 10 years have been absolutely monstrous in America
Trump was even voted in by the People. You have failed utterly as "top tier, first world" global citizens

The U.S. equivalent is 5.1M.
I didn't think we care. Maybe if our credit cards get declined?
The disappeared.
Lots never heard from again. I had friends who escaped to the US in the 80s. Ironically they were the woke in El Salvador: teachers, progressive thinkers…

Anyone want to gamble on who gets to define ‘violent crimes’?
We should be up in arms, indeed.

FROM THE ORIGINAL FUCKING NAZIS.
And he defied a judge.
Why do we have to be so stupid?
He doesn't want what's best for us as a country.

We would rightfully be seeing that kind of headlines, if we had functional media.
The Rule of Law barely exists here anymore, it's the Rule of Fear.
That is the point of the exercise.
We are at a real break point in Democracy.
It’s time.
We’ve all seen this before and it’s time for people with access to act.
Arrest the criminals who are destroying our country.
Which means he's lying now.
ALL of these people have been denied their Constitutional right to due process. They could all turn out to be mass murderers but I'm never going to take a serial liar's word for it.
Do NOT fuck with due process.
And yet, here we sit: compliant and complicit.
The American people might actually just be fascists....

Please use language based on our country's laws.
This isn't happening by accident, it's a meticulously planned coup with Trump as the useful idiot 'fronting' the insanity.
They want him to do despicably cruel things, it distracts us all.
El Salvador*
Is it illegal to be in a gang???
Even Ford didn’t issue an actual pardon for Nixon
He issued a proclamation saying he would pardon Nixon if necessary
Which he could do
Because…..
You know…..
He was President, lol
They next phase once Rule of Law is gone? Rounding up Trumps named enemies - law firms, Senators, Media , everyone
Nothing Stopping Trump from doing that to ANYBODY. Including U.S. Citizens and people he just wants to shut up.
Completely Fascist!
“…to KEEP these people prisoner..”
American democracy hangs by a thread. It’s the fight of our lifetime. Let’s go 💪
We have flight tracking, also needs safe services, we can publish the flights, and publicize the contractors and their vendors.
Does this remind anyone of anything?
WTAF?
💙
worst and are soooo STUPID they don't even see it's coming. They all say the same ignorant thing. " I thought it would only hurt them not us"
What did he just do to these poor people who were just looking for a better life.
The man himself, or his spokesman, aren't capable of speaking the truth.
It is a show, meant for TV, to show how 'tough' he is.
Dehumanizing.
Inhumane.
UnAmerican.
Just following orders comes to mind.
Shame on Rubio, who should know better. Trump, Vance, Bondi, and Homan have no shame.
Shit's well-beyond fucked now.

Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met
At midnight
In the hanging tree
America is no more.
But, these are the same democrat arguments that lost voters. Right argument, wrong message to voters.
The messaging on this needs to be different.
- further erosion of rights
- translates to police detentions
in our own cities
- etc
14,000 are convicted criminals
10,000 have pending criminal charges
8,700 do not have criminal records in the US, ICE officials told reporters.
