Donald Trump sends "3D Printer Barbie" press secretary Karoline Leavitt to threaten Americans with deportations!

 A dark day in American history:  Impeach Trump NOW

Echo opinion letter published in the Houston Chronicle:

So, if you feel like you are safe from deportation, because you are a citizen, think again. Trump's press secretary (3DPrinter Barbie "Karoline Leavitt") told the media that the administration is "considering" the possibility of "deporting" U.S. citizens.

If you have committed any serious crimes — the seriousness of which is to be determined by the administration — you may find yourself on a plane to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), leaving friends and family wondering where you are.


And if you think that the law will save you, consider the fact that the Supreme Court gave Trump just enough wiggle room to "disappear" those immigrants to El Salvador. You should also remember that it was the court that gave the president the "presumptive immunity" to commit such (henious
) acts back in 2024.

From Carl Lloyd, in San Antonio Texas

The article says that El Salvador Nayib Bukele and Donald Trump scoffed at the idea of sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia back, even though the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the administration to "facilitate" his return. Since when did the word "facilitate" take on the new meaning of "do nothing"? It is disgraceful that the president of our country just sat there and nodded while Bukele said he won't return Abrego Garcia to the United States. As if Bukele had all the power when the Trump administration is paying for this man to be held in El Salvador.

This is a dark day for our country. A very dark day.

Bring illegally deported migrants home: The release of Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be facilitated by evil Donald Trump

 Appreciate the extraordinary American Civil Liberty Union efforts to put pressure on the evil Trump administration while bringing several law suits to bring Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the other illegally deported immigrans back to face due process. Opinion echo letters published in the Minnesota Star Tribune. 

El Salvador's Nayib Bukele says he won't return mistakenly deported man to U.S.  The Donald Trump and the Republican administration now claims Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t deported by mistake, as the Justice Department said, but was “the right person sent to the right place.

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home

This evil deportation was forced without due process on the Japanese-Americans during World War II, when they were rounded up and put in detention camps while German Americans were never treated with the same policy.  In 1798❗, (227 year old) Federalist-controlled Congress passed four laws, known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts. These laws raised the residency requirements for citizenship from 5 to 14 years, authorized the president to deport "aliens," and permitted their arrest, imprisonment, and deportation during wartime. The Sedition Act made it a crime for American citizens to "print, utter, or publish...any false, scandalous, and malicious writing" about the government. This terrible law puts all Americans at risk for deportation.

Dear Editor: Ironic that the Department of Justice and the Trump administration and the Republican cult are saying they cannot bring back the illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had protected status from deportation and was illegally deported to El Salvador after an “administrative mistake.” 

Even after the Supreme Court recently ruled the government must facilitate his return back to the U.S., their logic to not immediately bring him back is that El Salvador is a sovereign nation and we cannot tell it what to do.

Well, Greenland is part of a sovereign nation, but that doesn’t stop any of the discussions by the administration of our country taking over Greenland by either economic or military action. If the administration really wanted to correct its illegal deportation of Abrego Garcia, Donald Trump could just require his release and return.

Dear Editor:  How impotent our commander in chief is that he doesn’t have the power to bring a wrongfully imprisoned man back to the United States❗  From: Kathleen Hermansen, in Apple Valley, Minnesota

A One hundred percent certain way to be sure American tourists stay far away from El Salvador

Echo opinion by Rex Huppke

We here at the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office are proud to announce our new slogan: 'Come to America! There's only a small chance you'll be detained indefinitely!'

Greetings, international tourists.😁 I’m here to persuade you to ignore the fake news media and spend your vacation time this year in MAGAmerica, formally known as “America.”

Republicans are allowing an unelected South African immigrant to change every aspect of our American way of life.💨💥😡 

Under the stunning (RESIST❗)  of President/King Donald Trump and his billionaire regional manager Elon Musk, the United States has been transformed from a violent and deteriorating third world nation to the greatest place on earth. (Please note: “greatest place on earth” does not apply to people who say bad things about Teslas.)

In honor of the return of American exceptionalism, we here at the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office are proud to announce our new slogan: “Come to America! There’s only a small chance you’ll be detained indefinitely!”

We have, of course, seen the reports that fewer Canadians are traveling to America, despite President Trump’s gentle trade war and generous offer/threat to annex their country. U.S. data showed a nearly 13% drop in Canadians crossing into our country in February compared with last year, but the Trump administration is working to swiftly eliminate Marxist “data” like that, so we’re not concerned.

And yes, we saw research firm Tourism Economics' recent estimate that international “inbound travel to the US is projected to decline by 15.2% compared to baseline projections,” which will result in “a $22 billion annual loss” in inbound travel spending. 

But again, those are “words” and “numbers,” and President Trump has made it abundantly clear those are illegal unless he likes them.
Consider all MAGAmerica has to offer foreign travelers

So forget that silly nonsense and think about what MAGAmerica has to offer you, the fabulous foreign traveler.

For starters, there are our beautiful national parks, which will be less crowded this year thanks to Mr. Musk firing about 1,000 U.S. National Park Service employees. No more bothersome “park rangers” telling you woke stuff like “please stay on the path so you don’t destroy delicate ecosystems” and “please don’t pee in Old Faithful.”

But it’s not just the natural parks or the numerous Trump-owned properties you will be required to stay at. International visitors coming to America this year could win … a free trip to El Salvador!

Depending on your accent and the color of your skin, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could deem you a foreign gang member and then use the Alien Enemies Act to ship you off for a free stay at an El Salvadoran fitness facility, something the liberals lamely call “a labor camp.”


You and your family could be next❗
While only a select number of lucky visitors will receive what we’re calling “the El Salvador package,” every foreign tourist will get to experience America’s new-and-improved First Amendment, which gives all people the right to speak freely, as long as they aren’t critical of President Trump and don’t engage in the kind of protected free speech that makes South African immigrant Elon Musk angry or sad.

Maine Writer postscript:  Although many adventerous tourists like to explore exotic and off the tourist map places, the government of El Salvador has now created a fool proof way to be sure American tourists find other places to visit. Obviously, President Nayib Bukele would rather keep his nation's horrible prisons full than to support his poor country's destination tourism businesses.
