Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists
She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum
They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.

What I learned from PBS’s The American Revolution:
• the war was based on a colonialism wet dream more than a rebellion.
• was led by slaveholders who in their hearts preferred to keep it that way.
• a primary goal was tamping down Catholicism (for evangelicals)
• it’s importance was overrated.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.
