A Venezuelan Is Missing. The U.S. Deported Him. But to Where?
The immigrant does not appear on a list of people sent to a prison in El Salvador, and his family and friends have no idea of his whereabouts. He has essentially disappeared.

In late January, Ricardo Prada Vásquez, a Venezuelan immigrant working in a delivery job in Detroit, picked up an order at a McDonald’s. He was heading to the address when he erroneously turned onto the Ambassador Bridge, which leads to Canada. It is a common mistake even for those who live in the Michigan border city. But for Mr. Prada, 32, it proved fateful.

The U.S. authorities took Mr. Prada into custody when he attempted to re-enter the country; he was put in detention and ordered deported. On March 15, he told a friend in Chicago that he was among a number of detainees housed in Texas who expected to be repatriated to Venezuela.

That evening, the Trump administration flew three planes carrying Venezuelan migrants from the Texas facility to El Salvador, where they have been ever since, locked up in a maximum-security prison and denied contact with the outside world.

But Mr. Prada has not been heard from or seen. He is not on the list of 238 people who were deported to El Salvador that day. He does not appear in the photos and videos released by the authorities of shackled men with shaved heads.

1. Major evil is afoot in this land

You would not know it just walking around out there though, everything seems pretty normal. Weird

2. Was he tortured and killed??

And then simply erased off all the paperwork.

3. Right now our government is doing things we think only other countries do.

5. It always has.

4. Where are the women and children they're snatching?

[yardwork]

6. I've been asking that.

I suspect they're being trafficked.

[moniss]

8. I have felt for a very long time that this was being done

with the children during the family separation nightmare the first time around.

[yardwork]

9. Me too.

I think that Trump has been involved in sex trafficking women and children for a long time. He bought the Miss Universe pageant company, which includes teen pageants. He was close to Jeffrey Epstein. Plausible accusations have been made of him raping minors. He was convicted of a sex offense.

And, his campaigns' relentless attacks on Joe Biden are a tell. Every accusation is a confession.

10. I don't know about the women...

… but for the missing children from his first term I have a suspicion.

They took the cue from Argentina (or was it Chile?). There, the children of dissidents were adopted out to high ranking military men and people with power. I’m betting that a whole bunch of “Christian”* families were “gifted” with children…

*only the “right kind of Christians, of course

12. Clusterfuck, the sequel

After losing how many kids during asshole's first administration? These Mofos haven't learned an eff'in thing except how to be even more evil. I wouldn't trust them to with a shopping list, never mind human beings.

14. On Jan. 19, 2021, the day before Joe Biden became President

Then President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order to stop the deportations of Venezuelan immigrants for 18 months. Now he's rounding them up like cattle.

I have yet to hear any journalist ask him why he issued that Executive Order putting a moratorium on deportations in the first place or what has changed for him since then.

Media, do your job!
