    I have. It merely presents evidence for what we already knew: CECOT tortures inmates and sending non criminal Venezuelans there with no due process is morally wrong, inhumane, and maybe illegal.

    Censoring it is merely pro regime propaganda. 60 minutes asked for a DHS response and they refused. There’s nothing wrong with the reporting.

      Saying “it doesn’t push the ball forward” is such incredible bullshit too. Even if there’s nothing new, giving it awareness is still pushing the ball forward.

        …giving it awareness is still pushing the ball forward.

        100%.

        I felt physically sick the last (very rare) time I checked my Nextdoor, and a person reporting ICE activity was getting brigaded with “BuT tHeY’rE ArReStiNg CriMiNaLs AnD pRoTeCtiNg Us” type comments. Like I was seriously HOPING this was bot farm activity. Like it’s heartbreakingly painful to see people that are sincerely that stupid.

        The more irrefutable proof of these crimes, the more the “I’ll believe anything I hear” normies will accept the truth as “common knowledge”, and the hardline fascists get further discredited and ridiculed in public discourse.

        For now anyway.

        If I recall the only reason US rights apply to non-us citizens is a supreme court ruling. Scary to think about those implications

        Probably breaks some international law too

          Fourteenth amendment’s equal protection clause says “no person shall be denied equal protection”, not “no citizen”

          the same distinction is made in the fifth, “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without the due process of law”

          The constitution is actually quite clear.

          Edit to clarify: the SCROTUS is definitely going to come up with some reason to explain why words do not mean what they mean, but both trump’s actions and siding with him like that are in fact impeachable.

      It sounds like CBS’s controversial new boss censored it, rather than the DHS.

      I haven’t heard about Bari Weiss untill this 60 mins thing. I went and took a look at The Free Press site she is in charge of and I’m seeing lots of articles that are critical of the current administration.

      Where is does this angle that’s she is super pro-trump come from?

        You mean like how JD Vance was critical of Trump, to the point of calling him an idiot, unfit for office, reprehensible, and like Hitler?

        Turns out, people just say things and then perform actions that say otherwise.

        Judge people on their actions, not their words.

        She built her career on being a “free speech person” opposed to callout culture etc but recent remarks show a more political bent where she wants to “redefine what is acceptable main stream speech”.

        She’s not pro trump as much as she’s anti left so in many ways she’s just aligned ideologically with the fascist right and thinks they’ve been restricting the correct speech.

          I’m not so nuanced about traitors. If she’s not actively opposing this government, then she’s MAGA trash. She doesn’t get to escape blame through careful parsing of her positions.

          The very fact that Larry Ellison put her in charge of converting CBS News to an outlet of the Conservative Propaganda Machine convicts her as a MAGA.
