"It's now been >5 weeks since Andry & the other Venezuelans were imprisoned in SLV w/o ever getting a trial or even a day in ct.

We haven't had even a single word from them; they've been held entirely incommunicado.

It's now been🚨>1 mo since Trump sent innocent man A Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons bc of "Mom" & "Dad" tattoos. Like the others,💔he's being imprisoned w no contact with the outside world."

Don't let him be forgotten."

"The autocrats have a simple plan: tear everything down and give them control. Let them use technology and artificial intelligence to optimize our lives, realizing efficiencies through the consolidation of power. They decide who's a terrorist and who goes to globally centralized prisons and concentration camps. Indeed, are we not already here?"

America 2.0 · 'Convergence' Is Here – And We're Not PreparedAmerican politics is converging towards a vague concept of authoritarian "unity," influenced by a small network of backers.

"When the Supreme Court convenes 'literally in the middle of the night' to stop the government from spiriting away Venezuelans in apparent contradiction of their instruction to give every individual a meaningful opportunity to oppose their deportation, the 'constitutional crisis' has arrived."

The Contrarian · Stop Waiting for a Formal Declaration of “Crisis”By Jennifer Rubin

Deeply disturbing report about the actions of the CEO of the Jewish Federation of North America to stop Jewish organizations from speaking out in support of the college students who are being kidnapped in the USA for speaking critically about the state of Israel.

I personally plan to contact my local Jewish Federation, to urge them to make it possible for members to donate and the money stay only in the local community, because I don't want a dime of my money going to support the JFNA when it is attacking due process, human rights and the rule of law.

It’s *possible* as some are saying that whoever altered the photo did so to explain the tattoos.

1. If that is the case, I doubt #Trump realized it.

2. MS-13 is notorious for boldly displaying the gang’s name in their tats. They don’t use code.

3. The neo-Nazi that came up w/this tattoo theory claims the cross & the skull are covering what used to be a 1 & a 3. That skull for sure was not a 3.

#Trump Admin #Illegally Prepares to #Deport More #Immigrants Under Wartime #Law

Govt notified #Venezuelan men in #custody that they are at imminent risk of #deportation, illegally stepping up use of #AlienEnemiesAct

Firsthand accounts, along w/ court documents & flight tracking data, reveal the admin’s calculated race to send alleged *gang members* to #ElSalvador before a court can halt their plans.

"ARE YOU JOKING? An immigration judge ordered a Venezuelan man sent to El Salvador on March 15 to be formally issued a deportation order under immigration laws for missing court.

He wouldn't have missed his court hearing🚨if Trump hadn't sent him to El Salvador!"
-A Reichlin-Melnick

Incompetence & the Trump regime's mass deportation crusade, jeopardize undocumented immigrants' lives💔.

Continued thread

US District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston last month had issued an order that temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from fast-tracking #deportations, hobbling its ability to remove migrants subject to final orders who in some cases have legal protections preventing them from being sent back to their countries of origin.

The preliminary #injunction issued Friday will keep that order in place until the #litigation is resolved.

#Trump policy to speed #deportations cannot be implemented, judge rules

A US judge on Friday barred the Trump admin from implementing a new policy allowing it to rapidly deport hundreds if not thousands of migrants to countries other than their own w/o giving them a chance to show they fear being persecuted, tortured or killed there.
