The point was to draw out state violence, and be willing to face batons, water cannons, jail, and worse.
And Martin Luther King still got shot in the head— other civil rights leaders assassinated.
And now, civil rights progress is being rolled back.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
