I appreciate the implication that an 88 year old man dying must be a sign of extraordinary divine intervention. Struck down in the prime of life, clearly smote by the almighty's displeasure.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Wow, this is the first time we've heard this number. Previous reporting suggested it was $6 million. So now it's $15 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to imprison people in El Salvador without trial.

🚨UPDATE: New evidence filed by the ACLU last night shows that the Trump administration is going forward with more Alien Enemies Act deportations in seeming violation of the Supreme Court's clear command that people be provided a "meaningful" opportunity to seek judicial review.

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so. They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

It’s actually just not possible to spend this much money. Previous efforts to rapidly grow the Border Patrol and CBP led to decades of corruption. This is a recipe for corruption on a giant scale.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he spoke with the American embassy in El Salvador today and they said that they’d never been told to in any way facilitate the court ordered return of Mr Abrego. That sure sounds like evidence of criminal contempt to me.

He defied the Supreme Court. SCOTUS has the constitutional authority to hold anyone in contempt, including the President of the United States. Congress does not demand the court to take action, the court is irrelevant, as is the rule of law. He essentially gave Roberts the finger. Does he care?
