We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Excellent sequel, imho even better than the original. Paul Mescal is sensational, as is Denzel Washington and Connie Nielsen, who reprises her role from the first movie. Perfect length too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ridley Scott still has it!
