It will be interesting to observe how Trump presents this situation to his supporters in Georgia. South Korea's actions are understandable in this context. Trump's reliability in keeping promises has been called into question, as many perceive his commitments to be insubstantial.

From failing to recommend the measles vaccine to citing non-existent studies, RFK Jr. is unfit to be our HHS Secretary. I’m calling for him to resign.

“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens.
What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation.
It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
