BREAKING: U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled Wednesday that there is “probable cause” to hold Trump administration officials in “criminal contempt” for violating his March order halting deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

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.
