I bet the majority of the Congress has no idea who Refaat Alareer is. I hope you include a very short bio and, in big letters, REFAAT ALAREER WAS MURDERED BY ISRAEL ON 12/06/2024.

Amazing reporting.

This article is chock-full of facts, but I had trouble following it, or knowing why I should care. I certainly do care about the conditions in the prison in El Salvador, which apparently include torture, and why immigrants in the US were sent there instead of to their countries of origin. In other words, why are they being sent to a foreign prison instead of being set free in their own countries? And why has Trump chosen El Salvador?

I think the idea is that Trump is selling the silence of Greña for the prison space. This way Trump can put on his theater of cruelty while snuggling up to another corrupt world leader!

I'm left with wanting to know more about the Venezuelans wrongfully swept up - some barbers, farmers, etc., I understand, and what will happen to them and will anyone release them and send them back to Venezuela? It seems even Black Sites, torture sites, are now no longer hidden but right out in the open!

Excellent reporting. Trump, Bukele, Noboa, Milei—birds of a feather.

It is clear the Justice Dept. is devoting more time to circumventing and twisting the law instead of following and upholding it.

Another link that should be investigated, is how Bukele is/was big into Cryptocurrency and how that surely relates to the cartels and money laundering via crypto companies like Tether
