"The Miami Herald reveals that one of the people imprisoned in El Salvador HAD LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the country legally in January & was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had passed a full background check.

Without warning, he was sent💔to El Salvador."
-A Reichlin-Melnick

(CECOT, one of the world's worst prisons, infamous for slave labor & #humanrights violations).

"Mentions of immigration on earnings calls from S&P 500 companies have surged to a record high during the 1st quarter, reflecting broader anxiety about the labor supply."

As Trump continues to disappear people by detaining & deporting them (most are non-criminal undocumented immigrants) needed for the workforce, as many companies report worker shortages.

"New court filing, with 2 affidavits, Enemy Aliens Act plaintiffs:

🚨Eight women were mistakenly sent to El Salvador prison & had to be flown back.

Nicaraguan man (not Venezuelan) was also mistakenly sent to El Salvador prison & had to be flown back."
-R Goodman

Who was responsible for sending 8 women to a men's prison in El Salvador that's notorious for some of the worst #humanrights violations in the world? Must be a monster, Homan?

"The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to SLV under the AE Act, who declares🚨"I heard 2 US govt officials talking -said 'there's an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.

ACLU submits its response to Judge Boasberg's request: they provide a position on whether ICE followed the court order, ask: order the Trump admin to bring the ppl back here.

Fortunately, this criminal regime is sloppy.

#Extradition is a long-established, frequently used process of sending accused criminals to face charges in another country. By citing the #AlienEnemiesAct, #Trump is highlighting its aggressive posture on the contested #legal issue without taking steps that might be deemed to violate a #TRO issued by federal Judge #Boasberg.

Because the men are being extradited to face charges in a foreign country, their cases are different from the hurried #deportations of >200 #Venezuelans this month.

America needs teachers, esp in FL, but Trump is deporting non-criminal undoc #immigrants to emulate his BFFs Putin, Orban... It's a power play, & blaming IMGs is their MO. It's inhumane & uneconomic.

"Wow. What a stupid waste. Hard-working college grad & teacher who'd been in America since middle school deported as part of the pointless population purge. We need to prevent the education of America... bc, well, you know why."

#MAGA - White House reportedly halts funding for legal aid for unaccompanied migrant children

> The Trump administration is reported to have cut funding to a legal program that provides representation for unaccompanied immigrant children, one month after directing #immigration enforcement agents to track down minors who had entered the #US without guardians last month

#Trump’s comment Fri night was in response to questions about a hearing earlier that day on the legality of the #deportations, during which US District Judge #Boasberg asked why the proclamation was “essentially signed in the dark” so that #deportation flights could begin immediately. The WH had announced the proclamation’s signing AFTER preparations to deport 137 Venezuelan migrants had already begun.

Venezuela's Int Min Cabello said on Fri that NONE of the 100s of Venezuelans deported by the US to CECOT is a member of Tren de Aragua, the reason DC gave for expelling them.

The #TrumpMusk regime is using most of their law enforcement resources on #deportations, so child abusers & other criminals aren't being arrested!

Fed agents who usually hunt down child abusers are now cracking down on #immigrants who live in the US illegally.
