Her husband was mistakenly deported. Now she’s caught in a political frenzy.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego García, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, has been moved to a safe house by supporters after U.S. officials posted a court document on social media that included the family’s address.

Assholes, possibly incompetence.

Jennifer Vasquez Sura said in an interview with The Washington Post that she began fearing for her safety and that of their three children - two of whom are autistic - after verbal attacks on her husband by President Donald Trump himself, as well as taunts on social media by administration officials and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.

Definitely assholes.

... Little by little, she came to find out that what had begun as a seemingly random approach by local police had morphed into ICE removal proceedings against Abrego García, driven by the Prince George’s County police claim that he was an active member of an MS-13 clique based in Upstate New York, a place he has never lived.

The police detective who filed that report was later charged with official misconduct and fired after he passed on information to a sex worker he hired about an investigation into the brothel she ran.

Asshole.

... They began dreaming bigger: A new house with a backyard full of trampolines. Maybe a second wedding. Maybe another baby.

Then, on March 12, ICE agents detained him while he was driving to pick up their two eldest children from a school bus stop, with their now 5-year-old nonverbal son in the back seat.

Abrego García called Vasquez Sura, and she heard an ICE officer tell him his status “had changed.” She rushed over to pick up their child.

Assholes. 1312

... The political animosity surrounding the case has reached worrying new heights amid the Trump administration’s full-throated effort to paint Abrego García as a violent criminal.

When DHS shared with its 2.4 million followers on X the order of protection petition that prominently features their address, it was time to move the kids to an undisclosed location.

“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” Vasquez Sura said. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

Assholes.

A DHS spokesperson did not respond Monday to a request for a comment about the department’s decision not to redact the family’s address in the post.

Cowards.

... Then - as Trump administration officials mocked the visit in social media posts and began sharing a dossier they had compiled that, among other things, depicted Abrego García as a human trafficker - she returned to her life in the safe house.

Asshole PINO.

Back to the unbearable silence.

Elderly Americans Face Crisis Amid Trump Immigration Crackdown

President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration is deepening a crisis in America's caregiving system, straining the already limited workforce that supports the country's rapidly aging population, experts have warned.

Trump pledged to remove millions of undocumented migrants as part of his aggressive immigration agenda. Yet immigrants are integral to the U.S. care workforce, accounting for 28 percent of workers in nursing homes and 32 percent in home care, according to nonpartisan organization KFF (formerly Kaiser Family Foundation).

"The crisis in the home care industry is here, whether the elected officials choose to acknowledge it or not. It's no secret that we have a shortage of workers in the care industry and that immigrants play a critical role in filling that gap," Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Secretary-Treasurer Rocío Sáenz told Newsweek.

Giovanni Peri, an economics professor at UC Davis, warned the combination of an aging population, low labor supply and fewer immigrants will exacerbate a crisis....

If I need a caregiver in 10 or 20 years how do I make it clear that the undocumented are encouraged to apply?

California Republican Opposes ICE in Schools

A Republican candidate for governor of California is breaking with party lines by backing a state bill proposed by Democrats that would bar federal immigration authorities from operating in schools.

Senate Bill 48 prevents school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools from allowing immigration authorities access to school campuses without a valid judicial warrant or court order.

"I endorse Senate Bill 48 because children should feel no fear of going to school under any circumstances," Republican Kyle Langford told Newsweek....

Hero Repub. Hero Dems. GQP and MAGA are also jackbooted.

... DHS agents were refused entry to two Los Angeles elementary schools in April after arriving unannounced and attempting to contact five undocumented students, according to school officials.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said the agents claimed their visit was to check on the student's well-being, but school staff reported the agents also tried to mislead them by falsely stating the families had authorized the contact.

Hero schools and District. ICE LIES!

Kyle Langford told Newsweek: "Let me be clear, creating undue fear and anxiety within California's schools is completely unacceptable."

MAGA gets hard by scaring children.

Cubby, did you read the full story or just the headline.

The two mothers were illegals, could have left the children with their fathers. They chose not to.

Officials said the children could return if the fathers or other legal family wanted.

Still sad, hopefully the fathers will take responsibility.

ICE Invades Wrong Home, Steals Their Life Savings, and Then Leaves

... “We just moved here from Maryland,” Marisa said. “We’re citizens. That’s what I kept saying. We’re citizens.”

The agents, who identified themselves as U.S. marshals, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and FBI agents, didn’t seem to care, waking the family up, forcing them outside in their underwear, ransacking the house, and taking the family’s belongings as “evidence.”

“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” said Marisa. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”

“They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless,” the woman added. “I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren’t criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn’t do anything.”

One agent told the family, “I know it was a little rough this morning.”

“It was so denigrating. That you do all of this to a family, to women, your fellow citizens. And it was ‘a little rough’? You literally traumatized me and my daughters for life. We’re going to have to go get help or get over this somehow,” Marisa said. The agents told her that it could take days or months for the family’s stuff to be returned, and wouldn’t even give her a business card.

It all fits a pattern of cruelty from the Trump administration in its efforts to deport as many people as it can. The White House doesn’t believe in due process or following the law, or even standards of basic decency. The violent raid in Oklahoma City would be wrong even against a family of undocumented immigrants, let alone U.S. citizens like Marisa and her daughters. Hopefully, she and other victims of the administration’s wanton behavior can get restitution.

Get the Facts: Oklahoma home raided by ICE is owned by human smuggling suspect

A spokesperson for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said agents were carrying out a court-approved search warrant for a large-scale human smuggling operation when they raided a home in northwest Oklahoma City on Thursday.

An indictment shows that Cidia Marleny Lima Lopez is allegedly a major player in the human smuggling case that agents have been working for years.

The Department of Homeland Security officials said they have proof the group transported people from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, Central South America and China, then concealed and harbored those undocumented people all across the country.

Records show that she owns the home that was raided as well as another one in Oklahoma City. Eight arrests were made in that investigation, which was years in the making and not part of any new immigration enforcement.

We know four homes have been raided in Oklahoma City as part of the human smuggling investigation by DHS and ICE agents.

The home raided on Thursday was the target of U.S. Homeland Security and immigration agents.
A senior official for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security told KOCO 5 that agents were serving a search warrant that listed that home. They said the people inside at the time were U.S. citizens who had recently moved in.

The previous residents were the intended targets of the raid.

Legally, if the warrant is for the home and not just a specific individual, agents have the right to enter.

The indictment obtained by KOCO 5 shows eight Guatemalan nationals were the targets of the investigation as part of the "Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization." Their charges range from drugs, fraud, money laundering to re-entry after deportation.

The investigation has gone on for four years, prior to any recent changes to ICE policies.

No mention of returning their illegally seized property.

... For days, we have been asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, for answers.

They finally responded Wednesday, confirming the raid on Marissa’s house was part of that nationwide operation, and admitting for the first time that Marissa and her family were not supposed to be targeted.

Yep, leftists see only what they want to see. The hell with getting human traffickers off the street. Should the realty service give an apology too? This wouldn't happen in a gated community, would it? How could have this woman and her daughters known that their home was formerly housing for human trafficking? How could have law enforcement known they were not, the home was a known source.
Now, the family has the knowledge that their new home once belonged to criminals. The neighborhood probably already knew. Hell, they should give an apology too.

Kristi Noem Shares Harsh Plan For Abrego Garcia If He's Returned To U.S.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is “home in his home country,” the secretary of homeland security said.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that if Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was sent to a maximum security Salvadoran prison in error, ever returns to the United States, he will be immediately deported back to El Salvador.

“[Abrego Garcia] is not under our control. He is an El Salvador citizen. He is home there in his country,” Noem told CBS News. “If he were to be brought back to the United States of America, we would immediately deport him again.”

ICE Gnome is a homewrecking asshole.

... When CBS asked Noem about deporting people without due process, she replied, “Obviously, we’re relying on the expertise of our investigators, our teams, double-checking, triple-checking, going through the paperwork, making sure that we have done everything absolutely correctly.”

US judge blocks use of Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans

A Trump-appointed federal judge has ruled that the US president cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.

"A Trump-appointed federal judge"

US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez said Donald Trump's use of the wartime power was "unlawful" and had been improperly invoked.

The law was written in 1798 to allow the removal of non-citizens in times of war or invasion. It has been used by Trump to deport Venezuelans to El Salvador on the basis they were members of the Tren de Aragua gang and "conducting irregular warfare".

The judge said the act only applied when the US was facing an "armed organised attack", which it is not. The administration has not commented.

Hero!

What part of "illegal" do PINO and MAGA not understand?

... The ruling is the first time a federal judge has ruled the use of the act is "unlawful".

"The historical record renders clear that the president's invocation of the AEA... is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms," the judge wrote.

"As a result, the court concludes that as a matter of law, the executive branch cannot rely on the AEA... to detain the named petitioners... or to remove them from the country."

The judge pushed back against the Trump administration's argument that the president's use of the act was beyond the purview of the courts.

"Allowing the president to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the executive branch's authority under the AEA," he said

He added that allowing such a move would "strip the courts of their traditional role of interpreting Congressional statutes".

The Alien Enemies Act has only been used three times before in US history - during World War Two, World War One and the War of 1812.

What part of the Constitution do PINO and MAGA not understand?

One more thing:
