They weren't sent to Venezuela. CECOT prison is in Tecoluca, El Salvador. But I hear you! I've been wondering the same thing! I would like to know if they brought back ALL 200+ that were sent down there!
They were sent on to Venezuela and repatriated to their home country (Venezuela) in exchange from some Venezuelan prisoners that the US wanted back. And Mr. Abrego came back to the US because he was prohibited from being sent to El Salvador but they drummed up these charges so they could pretend they were bringing him back to charge him and save face. It is not working. There was a plane of some other prisoners that left the US and went to Sudan. Those people seem to be MIA still.
If Bondi sends a letter that is a quid pro quo situation is that something that can be used to disbar her? Sorry I’m not an attorney but holy cow how is that legal?!?
It's been a year. The Regime is fully entrenched and committing murder and unlawful, unconstitutional acts at will.
All involved, from Trump on down, are now liable for murder.
People should, by now, understand this is why they absolutely cannot allow themselves to be removed from power.
At this point, any Dem politicians not supporting serious non-violent protest, or who favor giving funds to ICE/DHS, or who in any way support the Regime, need to be considered
complicit collaborators.
There are no “centrists”. There is no middle ground.
The die is cast, the Rubicon has been crossed.
The Regime’s plan is clear and people have died resisting it.
Get ICE OUT! Bring back our friends and families that have been disappeared. Every minute that passes is another minute these people and their families are living their worst nightmare!
When you are outgunned, you don’t fight a symmetrical war.
You don’t line up tanks against tanks or shout louder than those who control the megaphones. You don’t play by rules written by those who already dominate the board. Symmetry favors power; survival favors ingenuity.
History is blunt about this truth. Every entrenched empire expects rebellion to look like itself—organized, visible, predictable. That expectation is its blind spot.
The outgunned fight differently.
They fight with asymmetry—not chaos, but intelligence.
They turn time into a weapon, stretching conflicts the powerful want finished quickly. They use geography, culture, networks, and ideas instead of brute force. They move where the giant cannot, speak where the censor hesitates, and persist where suppression assumes exhaustion.
Asymmetrical struggle is not about violence alone. In fact, the most effective asymmetry today is often nonviolent but destabilizing:
Truth in an ecosystem built on lies
Solidarity in systems designed to isolate
Humor against fear
Documentation against denial
Memory against erasure
Power depends on compliance more than it admits. Asymmetry targets that dependency.
When institutions are captured, legitimacy becomes the battlefield. When weapons are unequal, moral clarity becomes force. When voices are suppressed, collective coordination becomes armor.
This is why authoritarian systems fear journalists, teachers, artists, unions, students, and ordinary people who refuse to internalize helplessness. These actors don’t fight symmetrically—but they fight effectively.
The mistake of the outgunned is trying to prove strength by mirroring the strong. The wisdom of the resilient is to change the game entirely.
You don’t win by matching firepower.
You win by making firepower irrelevant.
And that has always been how the powerless, eventually, become unstoppable.
A fresh YouGov poll (Jan 26, 2026, conducted right after the Minneapolis events) shows 46% of Americans now support abolishing ICE (vs. 41% who oppose) — up from earlier January polls where it was roughly split or slightly negative. A majority (58%) also say ICE's tactics are "too forceful," and 57% disapprove of how the agency is handling its job. This differs from Rasmussen's higher Trump approval numbers because those polls often capture broader approval trends that lag behind breaking news cycles like Minneapolis.
While the elites feast, Middle America is handed a rifle and a flag and told to be grateful. Grateful for wars that never end. Grateful for jobs that vanished. Grateful for a future that keeps shrinking.
This didn’t just happen. It was done.
Factories didn’t disappear overnight—they were shipped away, signed off by smiling politicians who never missed a paycheck. Towns weren’t “left behind”—they were stripped, hollowed out until all that remained was debt, despair, and folded flags handed to grieving families. And when the anger came—as it always does—power made sure it didn’t travel upward.
Instead, they pointed across the street.
They told the struggling worker that the immigrant was the enemy. They told the father who lost his job that the woman asking for equal pay was the problem. They told the soldier coming home broken in body and spirit that someone poorer, darker, weaker was stealing his place. Rage was redirected—carefully, cynically—away from boardrooms, war rooms, and corrupt halls of power.
Immigrants became the convenient villains, even as they cleaned the hospitals, harvested the food, built the homes, and paid into a system that offered them no mercy. Minorities became targets, not because they caused the collapse, but because blaming them was safer than naming the truth. Women became threats the moment they demanded dignity. And every time, the real culprits slipped further into the shadows.
Forever wars rage on—not to protect the nation, but to protect profit. The children of Middle America fight them. The children of the powerful study them. One group comes home in coffins or silence; the other comes home to corner offices and cable news contracts.
This is how empires decay—not from invasion, but from betrayal.
Fear is weaponized. Neighbors are turned into enemies. People who should be standing shoulder to shoulder are pushed into shouting matches while their futures are quietly auctioned off. And the cruelest lie of all is this: that someone just as powerless as you is the reason your life is harder.
But here is the truth they don’t want spoken aloud: the pain is shared. The factory worker, the immigrant, the single mother, the veteran, the minority—they are not competing for scraps. They are all paying the price for policies written by people who will never know their names.
Oppression always starts at the margins—but it never ends there. Once power learns it can divide, it will keep dividing, until only obedience remains.
And yet—this is where hope still lives.
Not in billionaires racing to space. Not in slogans or manufactured outrage. Hope lives in recognition. In the moment when people realize their anger is justified—but misdirected. When they turn away from the lies and look directly at the systems that failed them. When solidarity becomes louder than fear.
Because the greatest threat to corrupt power has never been immigrants, or women, or minorities.
It has always been ordinary people refusing to be divided.
What is status of the immigrants that are in Venezuela in prison. Rubio said they couldn’t be brought back ?? Any news?
They weren't sent to Venezuela. CECOT prison is in Tecoluca, El Salvador. But I hear you! I've been wondering the same thing! I would like to know if they brought back ALL 200+ that were sent down there!

Bondi with her letter too clever by half? QUESTION: Can a state voluntarily turn voter records over to the Federal government?
Yes. States that have turned over voters data: https://www.newsweek.com/map-states-handed-over-voter-information-trump-admin-11341530

Bondi has been partisan since she entered politics ( the justice department is ideally nonpartisan!)
thanks for what you both do. it's helps this limey almost understand States and federal law and constitution. 😁
Excellent! Thank you so much for your brave work. It really matters. 💜☮️
