Bondi continues to make a big deal of the block-long chase to apprehend suspect in Dugan case. She’s got it totally backwards. The far greater threat to public safety is the many criminal defendants w/ immigration problems who won’t show up for court now, thinking they could be arrested and deported

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers.
I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology
Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Yes, I’ve noticed this too. There’s a photo-op room with the most alarmingly tattooed prisoners but there’s no real indication that anyone else is at CECOT and guards appear to outnumber prisoners 10-to-1. In my darkest moments I think they’re disposing anyone who doesn’t look enough like a gangster
Is almost *anyone* at CECOT alive?
Reportedly no prisoner has ever been released from CECOT, and while CECOT is open to selfie visits from pro-torture politicians, their pictures always feature the same room and show a small number of hand-picked Salvadoran prisoners who fit the desired aesthetic.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...
