Gay Asylum Seeker One of Many Illegally Sent to Concentration Camp by Trump

This issue has my blood boiling. There's a reason experts in fascism are leaving the country...

"On March 15th, a 31-year-old gay Venezuelan man named Andry José Hernández Romero was sent to an El Salvador concentration camp with hundreds of other male migrants by the Trump regime. His crime? Requesting asylum due to persecution for his political views and sexual orientation in his home country. Oh, and he has artistic tattoos that were deemed gang-like, and this was used as a pretext for the cruelty Donald Trump has become so well known for. Authorities concluded Andry, a makeup artist and hairdresser, was a member of the Tren de Aragua gang."

AND

"How did we get here? Not to get too far into the weeds, but in November 2024 a number of Americans voted for a liar, a criminal, and a conman to hurt people they did not like. And that is what Trump is doing. He is hurting people.

On March 15th, our American tin pot dictator decided to illegally invoke a 1798 law that can only be used by POTUS when a war has been declared by Congress as a pretext to take due process away from legal asylum seekers and other immigrants before sending them to a concentration camp in El Salvador. Trump did this to cover the illegality of these very actions and give his victims no legal recourse because they are now technically outside of United States' jurisdiction. These are the purposefully cruel actions of a man and a regime that are only beginning to strip those in America of their rights, and Trump's net will expand over time to illegally punish others."
