Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador last week, where he met with Abrego Garcia after he said his attempts were repeatedly turned down by the Salvadoran government.
Isn't it just so unashamedly insane? Like, they openly admitted to trying to shape the narrative via obvious exaggerations of comfort. How do you get to the point that your morals allow for this sort of unabashed propaganda?
I’m wondering when it will come out whatever other shady deals Trump had with El Salvador that lead up to this. I don’t think El Salvador was on anyone’s bingo card prior to this.
Of course they are. It’s for the same reason they don’t want Kilmar returning to the US. Once the media puts a mic in his face and he shares the horrors of the cruel and unusual punishment they endure, the ICC will charge Bukele, and SCOTUS will be forced to block future deportations (and payments) under the Eighth Amendment.
