Is anyone else concerned that the focus on this ONE case is blunting the message that ALL these deportations to a Salvadoran concentration camp are unconstitutional because they were deprived due process using the Alien Enemies Act? We don't even know who some of them are! firsttheycamefor.com

In America, now, and Flori-duh! A US Citizen was held by ICE on a 48-hour hold even after his mother showed his birth certificate to a judge, who then declared that there was no probable cause to hold him. What if his mother hadn't had his birth certificate? Could he have wound up in El Salvador?

It seems the clincher is that OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS are being sent to El Salvador to pay for these human rights abuses, but the president doesn't have the authority to direct money be spent this way. CONGRESS needs to stand up and take their power back from this monster. Stop the $$
Experts: $6 million payment to Salvadoran prison likely violates US human rights law

We need to push back on this travesty of erasing women who served our country selflessly.

My sister is an USAF Security Forces veteran.

Will she be erased too?

As usual, the petty tyrant gets his way, showing his disrespect for prior presidents, American tradition and the US Flag Code. Maybe it will better symbolize the country's mourning when the flags are lowered once again on the first full day of his new presidency.

For someone so interested in being sure the military is a "meritocracy," Pete Hegseth should be able to recognize that he doesn't merit the job of Secretary of Defense. Even without the allegations of drinking on the job and sexual assault, he isn't qualified for the job.
