The Department of Homeland Security is now doxxing US citizens.
Trump’s DHS posted Jennifer Vasquez Sura’s home address online—while her husband, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is trapped in an El Salvador prison the courts ordered him returned from. Now she and her kids are in a safe house. This is cruelty, not governance.

Are war planning conversations usually on record? Is that why they were on signal, to avoid a record? No one seemed concerned that it was a security risk? Or is this the norm?
