If they didn't enter the country illegally they'd still be alive ... weird and poetic that following laws saves lives.

And, like the Jews and gypsies, had they avoided fascists and the concentration camps they'd be alive.

What's wild is Biden just lost 300,000 children, gone, probably pressed into slavery, sexual slavery, and left to die on the streets in middle America, and you didn't say a word.

Three die in custody, and you get all holier than thou talking about fascist.

You'd think if you were going to make an outrageous claim and then link to reporting about it, you'd bother to read the reporting. Perhaps you are counting on people being as stupid as you are? Perhaps you think you can just lie by giving your lie a veneer of believability by linking to the BBC - counting on no one reading the actual reporting that contradicts and takes the liar Homan to task over his lies?

Because fascism is sick and evil and so are fascists.

Why are you defending them?

In a civilized society people only rarely die in custody.

The Republican Party needs to stage more school shooting to distract the public.

Uh, there are several incarcerated cartel members that Bukele wants returned to El Salvador.

They apparently are part of a deal with Trump because they will expose Bukele.

Both presidents want them dead before they can testify.

Following GCCCP logic, the families of the dead should be brought to every press conference and a law passed with their names on it; because after all, even if ONE dies in Trump's custody, then he must be labeled as being personally responsible for every death, right?

That was the standard applied to Biden, after all, with the bull$t "Laken Riley Act."

Biden and other Democrats illegally brought 20 million unvetted illegals into our country. Democrats nationwheld need held accountable. They lied about Bidens condition amd corruption so he or her could be appointed. Biden harmed and killed Americans. That is who needs held accountable.

20 million illegals used Dem NGOs and Soros DAs to rob and plunder American citizens.

That sounds like a serious crime.
Where is your evidence?

However, multiple studies by physicians and human rights groups have shown that dozens of people have died preventable deaths in jails and prisons run by ICE and its contractors in the past, and advocates say conditions are rapidly deteriorating as the Trump administration packs facilities as part of his war on immigrants.

By this time next year I am sure the whopper will be up to 150 million.

what would you do to protect your loved ones?

Do you have loved ones?

Does anyone love you?

What actions would you take to extract them from a dangerous situation?

- (anti-Christian) MAGA politicians.

They know not what they do. There are hardcore atheists who are more Christian in their ways than are most Trumpers.

In the Revelations story, much of the Church, maybe most of it in the Fourth Reich nation, turn to a charismatic political Cult Leader and a False Prophet, prolly a Pope a Dope Trumper, too... instead of following said ways.

What the Abrahamic Religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all known for from their founding; right up there along with the 10 Strong Suggestions and Calvary... is their founding commitment to:

neighbors, immigrants, foreigners, and strangers, loving one another, not condemning people not like oneself; putting others before oneself, and not loving money for it's own sake.

All of which is what the Church of Trump; Fake Christians, Political Nazis, and Elitist Wealthy are using to divide and conquer America... quickly turning us into 3rd World Power.

Thanks, Trumpers!!

NEW YORK " Another federal judge has issued a scathing rejection of President Donald Trump's use of a wartime power to deport Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador with little due process.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a Clinton appointee, blocked the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport anyone located in his southern New York district.

And he lamented the plight of more than 200 men whom the administration has already sent to an infamous Salvadoran anti-terrorism prison known for human rights abuses.

"The destination, El Salvador, a country paid to take our aliens, is neither the country from which the aliens came, nor to which they wish to be removed," the judge wrote in a 22-page decision Tuesday.

"But they are taken there, and there to remain, indefinitely, in a notoriously evil jail, unable to communicate with counsel, family or friends."

Further deportations under the Alien Enemies Act would be "unlawful," Hellerstein wrote.
