When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.
When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway.
Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum.

Something that flew under the radar during Trump’s meeting with the El Salvador dictator was the fact that they bonded over their shared hatred for trans people as Trump plans on sending US citizens to Bukele’s concentration camps. Not hard to make the connection.

Trump Spent Part of His Meeting With El Salvador’s President Going on a Transphobic Rant
In the same meeting, Trump was caught on a hot mic telling Nayib Bukele he needed to build “five more” prisons for deported U.S. citizens.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.
Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi
And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so
If this doesn’t scare you
Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship
So they can deport ANYONE they wish

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

In September 2021, Texas banned nearly all abortions. A JAMA Pediatrics study found that, between 2021 and 2022, infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9%, compared with a much smaller increase in the rest of the US of 1.8%. Infant mortality rates rose 8.3%.
