"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).

Everything this administration does is shrouded in secrecy. Something as dystopian as sending immigrants to El Salvador prisons should not be secret, unless something shady is going on. Much of this is Little Marco Rubio's proud doing.

Catholic Charities laying off staff and halting services for refugees across the U.S. due to aid freeze and U.S. not paying on contracts signed.
I hope Pope Francis recovers quickly to speak up more on this. I also look forward to the new Archbishop for Washington, Cardinal McElroy, speaking up, as he did yesterday in his very first remarks in new role. bit.ly/423NdSo

"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?

A legal document excerpt discusses a Venezuelan woman involved in deportation proceedings. It highlights her experience of being on a plane to El Salvador, the complications that arose, and the involvement of government officials regarding the handling of her situation. The document also references

The job proposed in the videos was even harder than advertised -conditions at the motel as “squalor.” Inside JBS -new crop of Haitian WKRs: asked to work at “dangerously unsafe” speeds. Union accused JBS:🚨abusing immigrant WKRs & human trafficking.

Since Trump: elected -worse. He fired enough members of fed WKR protection agencies -investigations killed.

A bait & switch by JBS -abused & exploited WKRs💔-now #Trump deports them back to violence in HT.

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."

"Donald Trump’s second term has so far been a case study in how systems built for those whose rights have been diluted or taken away eventually devour those who were assumed to be safe from such violations."

"Bradley Bartell does not regret voting for Trump despite the fact that his wife from Peru is now in ICE custody after she was detained at the airport coming back from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico. Bartell to Newsweek: 'I don't regret the vote, but it's all been a nightmare really. We have an attorney. It has crossed my mind to move to Peru if she gets deported, but it would be very difficult for my son.'"

"The Wisconsin man, who is white, voted for the candidate who said he would expel all those who 'poison the blood of the country.' The man told USA Today that he didn’t believe Trump meant his wife. She was different, he said. He thought Trump 'would target people who snuck over the border and weren’t vetted.' And now that his wife has been detained by ICE, he still can’t believe it. 'It doesn’t make any sense.'”

"My German friends wondered what had hit, them how did it happen, where did it start? It started right here and this was where it could have been stopped. If those people had stood together, if they had protected each other, they could have resisted the Nazi threat together. They would have been strong, but once they allowed themselves to be split apart, they were helpless. When that first minority lost out, everybody lost out."
