Those prisoners have no recourse. No lawyers, no hearings, no protections, no chance.

Matt Gaetz thought this was just wonderful, so he went back and told his White House friends and they agreed.

That is why we started sending our immigrants to El Salvador.

This is Trump's (and the oligarchs writing Project 2025) vision for America.

Cowed, in constant fear, with no hope or recourse except to plead to Trump for mercy.
