They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.

That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!

In a nutshell...

"Biden pardoned January 6 police officers,
Trump pardoned January 6 criminals."

After Biden pardoned Jan. 6 police officers, Trump pardoned Jan. 6 criminals
The new president agreed to let violent criminals back onto American streets, and then peddled discredited conspiracy theories and lies about the attack.

This is what happens when you pardon criminals who attacked our Democracy on January 6th and who also attacked and killed members of law enforcement.

Make it make sense. Trump ran, in part, on promising to get violent criminals off the streets yet one of his very first official acts released 1500 violent offenders from prison. How are people ok with this?
