I bears repeating that the reprehensible Pam Bondi is just making up lies about the innocent people she is condemning to a life of torture. Most of them did not commit *any* crimes--unlike Pam Bondi, who took a bribe as a public official. She is downright evil.
Bondi on Boasberg: "Those inmates, those violent gang members, those violent alien enemies will remain in El Salvador. He cannot get them back, so his jurisdiction is over ... going forward, these terrorists better look out."

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions.

Yes, this cosplaying is sad & ridiculous, especially from someone whose job in the military was to write PR copy. (JD never saw a day of combat.)
But bragging that when shooting bullets ("freedom seeds" is so cringe), it "Doesn't get more American than that" is telling on our deeply sick culture.

We are deporting innocent men without any due process to a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer, autism awareness, and loving their mothers.
NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.
Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
