On March 15, 238 people were rushed onto a plane with almost no warning. Without any chance to see a judge or plead their case, the Trump admin sent them (and a metaphorical briefcase of cash) to El Salvador to be indefinitely imprisoned for no crime.
We can’t forget them.

I am in El Salvador because I will not stand by while our country is thrown into a constitutional crisis. This is a moment to act. I will not rest until due process is upheld for all.

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off.
Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty.
Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming.
You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

One of the people the Trump administration is about to deport is an English-speaking Venezuelan guy who says he's been here since high school, graduated, that he has a job, and says he's never done anything that should make him be deported (presumably he means no criminal record).
