Trump sends more than 200 alleged gang members to prison in El Salvador

Fucking horrifying. Anyway, I am sure this will receive the same urgency as the CEO murder. It's probably an just an oversight that they forgot to mention a $10,000 crime stoppers reward.
I am devastated. A 17 year old boy was just stabbed to death outside our building because he didn’t speak English. An 18 year old was also stabbed for the same reason but survived. They have not captured the men who did this yet. I am shaking.
