Incredible reporting by the Washington Post on the Trump administration's hurried, lawless effort to carry out illegal renditions to El Salvador - to terrorize people. (Including how they violated court directives.)

Trump’s 48-hour scramble to fly migrants to a Salvadoran prison
The administration rounded up some of the Venezuelans two days before the flights took off, pressing forward even as Venezuela agreed to accept deportees.
![YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [Zip Code].
YOU: I’m calling [DEM SENATOR] to ask that they take urgent action in the wake of Tuesday’s election results.
YOU: Now that we know that Donald Trump is coming back into the White House, we have to do everything in our power to safeguard our institutions from being harmed.
YOU: [DEM SENATOR] must push Leader Schumer to act quickly on these judicial and federal regulator appointments. We cannot leave judicial openings for him to fill, like we did at the end of the Obama Administration. We’ve already clearly seen the damage of all of the judicial appointments that Trump filled, from the ongoing fight for student loan relief, to the abortion fight.
YOU: Democratic governors have already begun acting to shore up protections, and I ask - no, demand - that our U.S. Democratic Senators do the same. We must work quickly. There is no time to waste.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT - e.g. request a response]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreic2p2zbdhrpl6i2h2kwiczxo6ualhoaekxpitml3xjb57rgt33dbe)
![YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [Zip Code].
YOU: I’m calling on Leader Schumer to clarify just how he’ll lead the Senate after Tuesday’s election results. We now know that the Dems will lose the Senate come January, and Trump is coming back to the White House. The Leader MUST clarify his plan for the remaining two months, and he must do it quickly.
YOU: I am specifically calling on Leader Schumer to begin taken urgent action on judicial and federal regulator nominations. We cannot leave vacancies for the Trump Administration to fill. We already saw what happened after he was able to fill 100+ nominations in his first term of office, and the ripple effects it’s had on progressive actions across the country.
YOU: Leader Schumer cannot pretend this is a normal transition. There’s a reason that Democratic governors are calling special sessions and holding press conferences to discuss how to protect against Trump, and the Leader must do the same.
YOU: I would like a response [EXPLAIN IN WHAT FORMAT]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreiatbvb2v4apdtfpyhvf4s7xsu33kl7jc5xwd57f34opait2dckup4)
