"SNIP.....

Associated Press: “At least 138 people deported to El Salvador from the U.S. in recent years were subsequently killed, Human Rights Watch says in a new report that comes as the Trump administration makes it harder for Central Americans to seek refuge here.”

“The organization also confirmed at least 70 cases of sexual assault or other violence following their arrival in the country.”

......SNIP"

Vibes to one and all.

This is horrible. They get deported after walking, riding on trains with little food and water, unsanitary conditions and then they don't even get the chance to present their case in front of an immigration judge...only to get murdered when they get back "home".

Unbelievable.

This is America! A country full of immigrants. Every single one of us who isn't descended from Native Americans or slaves is descended from immigrants. How can we turn our backs on desperate people like this?

I'm shattered.
