In an article on Mahmoud Khalil's release, the NYTimes notes he was detained on the grounds of "a rarely cited law from the mid-20th century." They don't tell you that this law was originally used primarily to deport Eastern European Jews, including Holocaust survivors, as suspected Communists.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Another fantastic thing for white folks to do on Juneteenth is learn about the Black Panthers. I've mentioned The Black Power Mixtape, and here Monica is offering another Panthers PBS documentary. (Which I haven't seen, but will probably watch tomorrow. My "Juneteenth" day off is tomorrow.)
