The government won’t even flat out admit what they clearly know: Garcia was last known to be imprisoned in El Salvador, the country where they erroneously sent him. All they’ll say is that they haven’t “submitted evidence to contradict that.” C’mon.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.
