Because, fuck you. As an American Citizen, you don't matter to this administration or its billionaire cronies, but go ahead and keep thinking that if you lick enough boots, they'll let you try a pair on.

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.
As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

These 10 Senators should unquestionably be primaried by progressive candidates who actually give a shit about their constituents. They are far more concerned about maintaining their power and status than protecting and improving the lives of Americans. #traitors #DINOs #votethemout
