Yesterday I told the story of an apparent request from a Trump-run government agency that Amazon de-list my book. As a result, in the last 16 hours, the book has shot to number 6 across all of Amazon out of millions of books. I am absolutely stunned.

Disappeared, like in Pinochet’s Chile? Karma sucks, hey.
So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?
