Summary

The U.S. deported 238 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

Internal documents show 75% had no known criminal record. Some, like a makeup artist and a soccer player, had pending asylum claims.

The Trump administration claimed links to the Tren de Aragua gang, citing tattoos and social media, but lawyers and experts say evidence is flimsy.

Despite a court order to halt the deportation, flights proceeded. Critics warn the move bypasses due process and violates international human rights standards.

    Wrong, they paused it. This is one of the 2 squares I didn’t mention that is still positive, while horrific.

      They do keep “pausing” consequences every time it matters for 47 though.

      Justice delayed is justice denied. It also must be super reassuring to all those people in the concentration camps CECOT.

        Okay, this is not “the dark square” though.

        Your soundbite is nice but I am here to discuss facts of matters and not play ‘witty quip’ tit for tat.

          The fact of the matter is that Trump has spent his whole lie dodging responsibility by just throwing enough bullshit at the system that it ground to a halt. It was unable to get through prosecuting Trump for four years until he got into power again, and then all cases got dismissed.

          What is it that you expect to happen? Or what is it that you think that there is a chance that it will happen to stop this or even reverse this?
