One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Again, if the idea is that when someone in custody leaves the nation’s airspace there’s no way for a court to compel the state to return them—or exert any jurisdiction at all—then you’re simply saying whoever’s in power can fly people 100 miles offshore and push them out of helicopters into the sea.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

My wife brought a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of Campbell’s Tomato Soup to my office earlier this evening. After she left, for a moment, I was a kid again…having soup made by my mother,and getting warmer inside with every spoon full. When memories like that show up, let them engulf you.

Stephen Miller claims on Fox News that returning the Maryland father who was wrongly deported to El Salvador would constitute a "kidnapping" and "invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty." "He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador," Miller lies. "This was the right person sent to the right place."

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Wouldn’t it be nice if lawmakers cared as much about protecting American children as they do about protecting Tesla cybertrucks?

America is a Democratic Republic. We do not condemn people without due process, or disappear them like Nazi gestapo. This is not Nazi Germany, this is not Russia, this is not a Dictatorship. This is the United Fucking States Of America. It’s past time we remembered who we are.
