A New York Times review of flight data showed that at the time of a federal judge’s order, two flights were in the air, and one had not yet taken off.

If any planes were already in the air, the judge said, they should turn back.

That did not happen. Instead, the Trump administration sent more than 200 migrants to El Salvador over the weekend, including alleged gang members, on three planes.

A New York Times review of the flight data showed that none of the planes in question landed in El Salvador before the judge’s order, and that one of them did not even leave American soil until after the judge’s written order was posted online.

    Yep, it’s that “And then they came for me” statement being played out in realtime.

    Asylum seekers are being deported, visa holders are having them canceled, permanent residents are being detained, and they’re even working on stripping citizenship of Americans born to non-American parents.

    I feel like the eventual next step is stripping citizenship from dual nationals and deporting them to whatever other country they are a citizen of.
