Judge James Boasberg on Monday pressed the ACLU and the Justice Department to determine how 137 Venezuelans deported to El Salvador last March could revive their immigration cases and return to the United States. @ryanknappy.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/judge-offers...
Judge offers risky options for wrongfully deported Venezuelans to return to US
In each scenario, the 137 men would be placed back into immigration custody rather than released into the U.S. on parole, meaning they could be deported again after pressing their claims.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

This is so true -- ever since the '80's Weyrich speech Republicans have been "Sowing doubts" about elections to diminish the majority voice in our democratic republic.
This isn’t about election integrity.
It’s about making Americans believe democracy can’t be trusted.
