President Donald Trump’s administration acknowledged Monday that sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia to his native El Salvador was an “administrative error.”
Despite this, the White House argued against bringing him back and says it lacks the power to seek his return from El Salvador’s government.

So who’s paying for Republicans’ massive billionaire and corporate tax cut? Families. Sick kids. Disabled kids. Rural hospitals. Seniors. Students. They’re all footing the bill as Medicaid will be ripped away if we don’t act.

Technical question: if you don't have the power to fire someone, are they fired? If so, I have a list.... But seriously, this is a constant with the attacks on civil servants since Jan. 20th.
Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump fires both Democratic commissioners at FTC, sources say
President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies.
