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.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Multiple lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of ICE officers in masks arresting people excercising their constitutional rights should be filed. Dictators (Nazi Germany, Putin’s Russia) use thugs in masks to arrest opposition leaders, not patriotic Americans. No Kings, No Masks.

Fight fascism wherever it rears its ugly head.
On the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe, we should remember with unfailing gratitude all those millions who fought for our freedom; mourn all those millions who were lost to war, genocide, and the daily cruelty of Nazism; and resolve to fight fascism wherever it rears its ugly head.

After a global pandemic that shattered supply chains, America was seen as a stable nation with a strong dollar and an economy that was declared "the envy of the world." In 100 days, Donald Trump has destroyed all of that.

I dislike hyperbole, it cheapens rather than enriches conversations. But let me be clear: the Trump regime’s treatment of immigrant families is an abomination. That it doesn’t surprise me doesn’t make it any less monstrous. Conscience requires that we oppose their unconstitutional agenda full stop.
This is a shocking abuse of power by ICE that has inflicted harm and jeopardized the lives of vulnerable children and a pregnant woman.
We are demanding the return of these families.
