Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

In fairness, Garcia was engaged in human trafficking, by Leavitt's boss, who kidnapped and trafficked him.

Dictators disappear people – that’s what they do. The Supreme Court ordered Trump to work to bring Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia home to his family + three kids in a 9-0 unanimous decision. Trump’s defying that order and refusing to take responsibility for his mistake. That’s complete lawlessness.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

Jonathan Swan, of the NYT, asks Ms Leavitt (all paraphrased) "The President said that it was a terrible abuse of power for the prior Admin to prosecute him. How is it not then an abuse of power when he directed his own DOJ to investigate two people he doesn't like?" Leavitt: "That's his policy."

Trump has rejected the Supreme Court’s decision to return a US man who he sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What this means is, Trump is now able to force anyone in the US into camps or black sites, something the US has been doing to noncitizens around the world for decades.

People still act like a special bell will ring signaling the arrival of Fascism. Trump just defied a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. Fascism is here.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison without due process is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.

Donald Trump has taken a bucket of paint and thrown it across the economy. He doesn’t care what his agenda of chaos and corruption does to small businesses or working people. But Congress has the power to end this.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

A concentration camp is defined by Encyclopedia Brittanica as an internment center for political prisoners & members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree. Auschwitz wasn't in Germany.

So this is f**cking bone chilling. Especially after they announced they weren’t going to comply with the SCOTUS order to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia. That's his name. The media just run his ethnicity, or reduce his being an American to checking a box during a survey -- "the American dad being held..." He's got loved ones. Just like you. He's got a life here. Just like you. He has rights here. Just like you. Until not.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

ANOTHER ONE! Donald Trump didn’t just deport Albrego Garcia to a foreign torture prison—he deported a Venezuelan teenager who wasn’t even the intended target. His name is Merwil Gutiérrez. He wasn’t in a gang. He wasn’t a threat. And even Trump’s own administration admitted he wasn't the target.

Told my parents that every time they see a report of a brown person disappeared to El Salvador they should tell themselves that, if the administration is left unchecked, will eventually be a story about their loud asshole white daughter.

Is this administration so weak that Donald Trump and JD Vance can’t ask El Salvador to return someone they deported in error & have confidence El Salvador will honor their request? That would be a shocking fall in status for the United States.

This is not a prison…👇 It’s a fucking CONCENTRATION CAMP!! Today, the President of the US urged El Salvador to build 5 more concentration camps, and clearly stated his intentions — to send United States citizens there. We’ve become Nazi Germany in 1933, and half the country is cheering. Sick.
