Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

You have to see this.

Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.
WELKER: Do you believe that Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee?

BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Wow‼️ ICE is gaming Google by changing timestamps on deportation press releases, making months-or even years-old deportations look like breaking news.

REALITY: At this pace, they’ll barely hit half the deportations from Biden’s last full fiscal year, 2024.
