"The Times of India got the email that was sent to hundreds of foreign students, stripping them of visas for pro-Palestinian social media posts or advocacy.

Chillingly, the Trump admin threatens to deport students to places like El Salvador if they don’t leave immediately.

None got any warning that they were being targeted, or have even been told which specific SM posts or acts led to this."

“Trump blocked from deporting migrants to countries where they’re not citizens

A federal judge said deportees must first have a “meaningful opportunity” to seek humanitarian protection in the United States.”

This is what evil, illiberal regimes do.

The use of prisoners for propaganda purposes is as old as war itself. The Viet Cong & North Vietnamese alternated their approach. Sometimes they used American POWs as props to suggest that all was well in their camps & that prisoners were being treated properly. (They were not.)

The goal:🚨to use prisoners’ bodies as weapons of political war & to do so against their will💔.

"Someone should tell Marco Rubio, DHS Secty Kristi Noem and Border czar Tom Homan that Trump's pardons will only protect them from being prosecuted in the US for federal crimes. It won't stop then from being prosecuted for crimes against humanity. And that is where they are heading."

"A Harvard scientist who fled Russia because she opposed the war in Ukraine is facing deportation back to the land of Vladimir Putin, her friends claim.

Kseniia Petrova, a bioinformatician at the Kirschner Lab at Harvard Medical School, was detained at the U.S. border on February 16 while returning from France and had her visa revoked, according to her friend Cora Anderson."

"There are Americans cheering for these unjust deportations because they’ve been convinced by Trump’s dehumanizing, demonizing verbiage that immigrants are not deserving of humane treatment. But we can be sure this is not the end—this is just the beginning of this fascist regime’s terror campaign aimed at deterring refugees, savoring cruelty and silencing dissent."

"The Trump administration unlawfully deported a Venezuelan man due to a autism awareness tattoo that officials baselessly claimed was gang affiliated.

on March 15, Donald Trump authorized the illegal expulsion of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador and Honduras despite a court order telling him to halt all operations until the accused receive a trial. Insisting every immigrant aboard the three aircrafts were dangerous gangsters of the Tren de Aragua organization, Trump maintained his decision to disregard the order from a federal judge was the right call.

However, the sister of Neri Jose Alvarado Borges—a 24-year-old of Venezuelan descent deported to El Salvador this month—said relatives suspect that Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials used his tattoos, one showing the name of his autistic younger brother and another showing a rainbow-colored ribbon of the autism acceptance movement, to justify his illegal ousting from the US.

Family members confirmed Alvarado Borges was not a criminal. 'None of these tattoos has anything at all to do with the Tren de Aragua,' said his sister, Lisbengerth Montilla, 20. 'But for them [immigration authorities] anyone with a tattoo is connected to Tren de Aragua.'

Montilla said her brother wasn't in any gang. Instead, he had been a psychology student who dropped out of school to come to America nine months ago due to the upheaval of the Venezuelan economy. Alvarado traveled through the dangerous Darien Gap jungle to come to the US and established a quiet life in Dallas where he was employed at a local bakery."

And remember, the Trump admin sent many to the brutal El Salvador prison (under “emergency procedures”) without proving they were dangerous gang members or criminals. I recently read the Salvadoran prison was ‘holding’ the men for trial (despite the Salvadoran president previously saying that the prison would take only those that had been convicted).

“… in tensions between Washington and Venezuela…which previously agreed to accept deportations of migrants from the US… Maduro halted the flights on March 8 after the US cancelled the Chevron license.“

"Rubio revoked the visa -said: likely has revoked the visas of 100s more. “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." Revoked visas “might be >300 at this pt."
