The Trump administration doesn't want them to count since they were killed after Trump got his "ceasefire". So they've been deleted from the Pentagon's count of those killed in this illegal, nonsensical war.

🧐 Trump’s document release vindicates Joe Biden and implicates himself. "The Russians aim was to defeat Joe Biden and ensure Donald Trump’s victory."

This has to END NOW! Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years building homes and supporting his family, only to be killed on his way to work. ICE’s "self-defense" claim cannot just be taken at face value. We need a completely independent investigation and full transparency now. JUSTICE NOW!

Trump needed to win 2024 in order to avoid prison so he promised $2 gasoline, half price energy bills, low price groceries, 10% cap on credit card interest, free IVF, better healthcare, affordable housing, no new wars, and the release of the Epstein files.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
Attorneys representing immigrants held at the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site alleged Friday in federal court that guards beat and pepper-sprayed detainees after a protest over lost phone access — allegations they argue show state and federal officials defying a recent court order protecting detainees’ civil rights. In a court filing in Fort Myers, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation and civil rights groups said officers at the controversial Everglades facility entered a unit earlier this month and physically assaulted detainees. One man was thrown to the ground and “severely beat,” according to his attorney, who submitted photographs to the court showing her client with a black eye. The attorney, Katie Blankenship of the legal-services organization Sanctuary of the South, wrote in a sworn declaration that officers broke another detainee’s wrist and “pepper sprayed everyone in the cage.” The violence, the attorneys say, erupted after site employees abruptly cut off detainees’ access to phones on April 2 — eliminating what they described as their clients’ only connection to legal counsel and their families. The day-long prohibition came less than a week after Middle District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell issued an order expanding Alligator Alcatraz detainees’ access to their lawyers and their ability to use phones at the remote pop-up facility.
