@heidilifeldman A Congress free from crooks would already have initiated emergency impeachment procedures against the wholly brazenly, illegally, anti-constitutionally & traitorously & incessantly power-abusing Trump "administration" (furtherance) of criminal anti-American acts.
The Johnson gang's White House crime-tolerance is not only telling, it's incriminating.

“An American Nightmare”: Three Men Deported to CECOT and Their Families Reflect on Their Monthslong Ordeal

For months, Carmen, Lina and Doris awaited news about their loved ones, who were sent to a maximum-security Salvadoran prison by the Trump administration. Now that the families have been reunited, they open up about the harm they experienced.

@ProPublica Just imagine: Migrants without criminal records are sent to an El Salvadoran maximum security torture prison by the US regime led by a convicted felon & rapist, who himself scores higher on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist than maximum security prisoners, and who has been a bro of sex trafficker, sexual abuser & rapist Jeffrey Epstein.
Ask, who definitely belongs into CECOT, and the name Donald T. inevitably comes to mind. To protect the public against a real dangerous physical threat.
