Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

An extraordinary human rights champion, President Carter left a remarkable legacy on fighting poverty, homelessness, and war. He will be deeply missed and forever appreciated.
The Southern Poverty Law Center joins the world in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter, a proud Southerner and a tireless advocate for justice, equality, and human rights. Over his extraordinary 100 years, Carter dedicated most of his life to service, compassion, and uplifting those in need.

International law recognizes a right to housing as a fundamental obligation. Police harassment of the unhoused is not just cruel but in this case life-threatening. Is this the world you want to live in?
“I’m waiting for an ambulance. I might be going into labor. Is that okay?”
“You’re being detained because you’re unlawfully camping.”
This is the “culture of life” I’ve heard so much about. www.lpm.org/news/2024-12...

Today, on International Human Rights Day, we must remember that human rights matter most in the places close to home: our families, our communities, ourselves. If we deny human rights to any group of people, we deny them to all.
