The government is very deliberately NOT trying to deport Mr. Abrego Garcia. Since August, he has been asking them to deport him to Costa Rica, yet the Trump admin keeps refusing to do it (and lying about why) because they want to send him to Africa to punish him. Here's how Judge Xinis summed it up.

It’s stunning that an entire political party is willing to live with this and, worse, exploits efforts to prevent gun violence to hang on to power.

Current tally in the lawless killing spree at sea.
The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it.

They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing.

But we're keeping track of every single strike.

So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

Really is a problem that for every Mark Cuban ("omg I can buy sports teams yay") there are, like, 25 billionaires who believe God has chosen them to cleanse the Earth with fire and to seed the future of humanity. It's just too much damn money, brains can't handle it.
