"What they're actually doing here is openly declaring for themselves the power to commit "oopsie" deportations and then🚨 *not* rectify them.

The Trump admin just admitted that a Salvadoran man was deported in error. Shockingly, Trump and JD Vance don’t seem to want to fix their mistake"—and the implications of that are dark💔.

🚨"Remaining in the United States without a lawful #immigration status can result in fines, #detention, &/or *#deportation*. It may also make you ineligible for a future US #visa. Please note that deportation can take place at a time that *does not allow the person being deported to secure possessions or conclude affairs in the United States* [snatched off street]. Persons being deported may be sent to *countries other than their countries of origin* [#CECOT].”

On Wednesday afternoon, Homeland Security #KristiNoem [dog killer] was on her way to visit the Terrorism Confinement Center #CECOT in #ElSalvador. She & other officials have touted the #deportations as a feat of #Trump’s agenda to keep Americans safe from violent criminals. Before her arrival she said on her X account she was going to see firsthand “where the worst-of-the-worst criminals are housed.”

Reyes Mota is among the hundreds of #Venezuelans that the #Trump admin deported earlier this month through the use of extraordinary wartime powers based on a 1798 #law [#AlienEnemiesAct]. The admin sent them to #CECOT in #ElSalvador, claiming they are members of the notorious Venezuelan gang #TdA. But the 24-yr-old father does NOT have a criminal record in Venezuela. His #immigration detention records are riddled w/mistakes, raising questions about how reliable they are.

A man was taken by #ICE for having an Autism Awareness tattoo to honor his younger brother who is on the spectrum.
ICE officials said they are questioning everyone with tattoos.

Even though ICE officials eventually said he was “clean” and NOT a dangerous gang member, he was sent to #CECOT prison in El Salvador, which is known for its due process violations, unsanitary & crowded conditions, and cruel treatment of prisoners.

Call in your representative and remind him, that McCarthy's Red Scare was put to bed by a very obvious question:
"Let us not assassinate [our nation] further, senator [...]/ [Congressperson ...].
[Trump + MAGA] have done enough.
Have you [OR we] no sense of decency, sir, at long last?
Have you [IOR we] left no sense of decency?"

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: El Salvador's Gulag Cryptopelago (new, spicier title)

#ElSalvador's in the news a lot right now because the Trump administration shipped a few hundred people off to that country's incredibly dangerous new mega prison, #CECOT.

What seems to have gone unnoticed in all the reporting, however, is Salvadoran dictator #NayibBukele's outsized role in the world of cryptocurrency and through that his direct connections to the Trump administration via Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick and #Tether.

Retoots appreciated.

#DOJ argues that, hypothetically, people subject to #AlienEnemiesAc could contest that via a habeas claim. But says that the current suit (a class action) shouldn't be allowed (not brought by individual)

#Boasberg asks about #torture claims: Why can't the plaintiffs bring that related to the #AEA removals?

DOJ says that such a claim needs to be brought as part of a #HabeasCorpus petition.

[again, not easy to do from #CECOT)

#RachelMaddow just interviewed Lindsay Toczylowski, #immigration atty for one of the *deported* individuals being held at #CECOT in #ElSalvador.
He was deemed a member of the gang #TdA because he has tattoos & is Venezuelan.
Her client is a #gay make-up artist who was seeking #asylum in the #US. Toczylowski shared some personal photos of her client.

I posted an interview by Sam Stein w/Toczylowski earlier this wk.
