don't print lies in the newspaper. even if you weasel 'trump said it' and put the scare quotes in, printing 'government has very easy case against kilmar abrego garcia' in headlines and social media posts is creating the opposite impression of the truth in your audience.
Trump says he thinks the government has a 'very easy case' against Kilmar Abrego Garcia
In an interview with NBC News, the president said it was the Justice Department's decision, not his, to bring the Maryland man back to the U.S.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.
NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.”

Emergency departments (EDs) often seem to shift from calm to crisis in an instant. Why? This article explores ED crowding through the lens of complexity science and self-organised criticality, explaining how minor changes—like a few extra patients—can trigger disproportionate chaos.
Self-Organised Criticality: Why your ED is like a Sand Pile
Emergency departments (EDs) often seem to shift from calm to crisis in an instant. Why? This article explores ED crowding through the lens of complexity science and self-organised criticality, explaining how minor changes—like a few extra patients—can trigger disproportionate chaos. Using the sandpile analogy and concepts like power law distributions, we reveal why traditional linear models and static targets often fail to manage ED flow effectively. Instead, we offer a data-driven, systems-based approach: identifying tipping points, recognising early warning signs, and implementing proactive, anticipatory interventions. From real-time dashboards to weekly cycle planning and distributed decision-making, this article offers a practical guide for building resilience in emergency care. Learn how your ED can thrive in complexity, not just survive it.

As a reminder, DOJ has literally conceded in multiple court filings (including at the Supreme Court) that Abrego Garcia was, in fact, illegally deported. At this rate, the WH social media intern is going to get a DOJ lawyer thrown in jail for contempt.

We cannot normalize the Abrego Garcia case. Remember, the Nazi extermination camps weren’t in Germany. They were placed in occupied territories to strip people of legal protections. Trump’s regime is using the same strategy by removing people from U.S. jurisdiction. They won't stop here. Stay alert.

I’m so relieved to hear Kilmar has been found—and grateful to Senator Van Hollen for doing what he did.
This response from the White House is truly revolting. Seriously, who are these people?
Abrego Garcia was here legally. He's a husband, father, and union member. And he needs to come home NOW.

It’s past time for our leaders to take action to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia home and defend the right to due process for all Americans.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
