I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The U.S. government has gone from supporting El Salvador's right-wing government disappearing Salvadorans in the 1980s...
