This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.

Today I saw red russet leaves, ground adorned in golden tones. Of those that had already fallen in a slow graceful dance. Silently making their way to lie at their feet. Nourishing earth, their voices quieted by a sweet melody. Only they can hear, as she softly sings them home. #BlueSkyArtShow #poem
Today I saw red russet leaves, ground adorned in golden tones.
Of those that had already fallen in a slow graceful dance.
Silently making their way
to lie at their feet.
Nourishing earth, their voices quieted by a sweet melody.
Only they can hear, as she softly sings them home.

It's over 6 months since 36 (or more) Salvadoran men were illegally sent to CECOT- no due process. Human rights abuses are commonplace in that torture prison. Be a voice for these men. Speak out to your senators, reps and faith communities. These are sons, dads, partners, husbands. ##libertad

Imho, the fact that Andry wound up in CECOT might have possibly been one of most important factors leading to eventual freedom for the other 250 Venezuelans. As soon as people realized a gay makeup artist was sent there in error, questions emerged re. whether others didn’t belong in CECOT either.
