A recent report from 60 Minutes revealed that over 75% of people deported to El Salvador's notorious mega-prison during Trump’s immigration crackdown had no criminal record. Many of these individuals were ordinary people, not the gang members or terrorists the administration claimed. The government used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to justify these actions, but it seems clear this was more about scapegoating migrants than ensuring public safety.

One particularly alarming case is that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident legally in the U.S. He was deported without any evidence linking him to gangs. A federal judge ordered his return, labeling the government's actions “unconscionable,” but the Supreme Court temporarily blocked this order after Trump's team argued it would interfere with foreign policy. This situation highlights how far the system is willing to go to enable such cruelty.

This report is shocking and underscores that these deportations are not about justice; they’re about fearmongering and exploiting vulnerable communities for political purposes. Families are being torn apart and lives are being devastated without accountability. If this doesn’t provoke outrage and demand for change, what will?
