I'm glad you called the Noem photo "pornography." That was the word that came to mind when I saw the callous photo op.

It was revolting, horrifying. Noem’s choice of clothing in front of a captive group of men was sleazy at best, and definitely, even proudly, sadistic. God forbid I should ever have to be within range of that … individual

It really makes me cry. This is not who we are.

Noem, Bondi, and all of the other terrorists responsible for this behavior should have to suffer the same punishment that they are dishing out. They are the ones who deserve to be disappeared.

I doubt that it was something legitimately investigated beyond the colour of someone's skin

Thanks so much for keeping TRUMPS’s disastrous attack on our RIGHTS TO “DUE PROCESS”in front of the news!

Remember, judges can enforce their own orders!

They can deputize their own marshals!

The longer this. “Cat & Mouse Game” goes on, the greater the chance that AMERICANS WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO BE FREE OF UNLAWFUL ARREST AND SEIZURE!

Unbelievable but true!

The Republican Supreme Court may NOT protect us, mocking their most important responsibility to deco the U.S. CONSTITUTION!

Therefore. All judges must exercise extreme courage and ENFORCE THRIR OWN ORDERS!

Deputize the Marines!

The U. S. CONSTITUTION gives our Military the Ultimate Responsibility for defending our freedoms!

Go Marines!

As my family fled to Canada to escape the communists in Europe after the second World War and the stories that I have heard of people just disappearing and their relatives even afraid to ask what happened to them because they would be disappeared as well - this begins to sound familiar. The American people have to stand up against this before it is too late. The protests this weekend were a great start - but keep it up!

I hope that when all of this is behind the U.S., those people who delighted in lying to, belittling, disrespecting, kidnapping, and causing the deaths of the citizens who are powerless to protects themselves- I hope that all of the bad people are put in jail and forgotten.

Unfortunately, you may be correct. However, there were trials for some of the Nazi’s after their reign ended. I have hope.

Name the ICE AGENTS. We should all know their names and faces in case they have the nerve to show up anywhere else.

I'm just so afraid he's already dead. That's why it's such a clusterf*ck to get him back and this maladinistration will never admit to it until they can figure out a way to make it someone else's fault—most likely Biden, as always.

I’m sorry for anyone who thought America was a safe haven. Big mistake. Many of us will never set foot there again.

They are sooo cruel and heartless. The planning of this is downright cruel and disgusting. They must have been following him for days. They couldn’t have done their homework or they would have known that there was a court order saying he was not to be sent to El Salvador. I heard that a federal judge has ordered he be released. Fat chance of that happening, unless tRump orders them to release him. If Noem can take a dog to a sandpit and cold bloody shoot the dog cuz he wasn’t trained no telling of the cruelty she has in her heart.

As an addendum, today Chief Justice Roberts called timeout to the federal judge’s court order Monday deadline ordering the federal government to return Kilmar Abego Garcia to the US from El Salvador’s CECOT prison.

It is all the Republicans, not just 47!  Please call them all out not just him.  They could stop this, instead They are all supporting this and when he is gone they will continue.  Instead of saying Trump….. say The Republican Party …..  until they all are solidly tied to the issues, since that blindly back MAGA, they need to be called on it
