Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture.
This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

Lots of people may not know that most federal grant dollars- even for research, fund salaries of people like project managers, community support specialists, finance teams, etc. Millions & millions of people across the country will be furloughed or fired.
