DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located.

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?

Not ICE, the people they are kidnapping. It’s a civil offense so maybe that’s there cover story. If they were arrested there would be at least a phone call as well as a record of their location and chain of custody.

... on a pogo stick, when will the excremental Nosferatu Miller and Puppy-Killer Noem finally auger in? The magnitude of their depravity staggers the imagination. Trump probably revels in it, but even the malicious dotard must realize that, as he has observed before, it is NOT a good look for him. Or maybe he just doesn't give shit anymore, 'cause he knows he won't live out this term, and he wants to inflict as much harm as possible before Satan calls him home.

The people that voted for trump. And the ones who don't vote at all.

So why would trump give a shit? The GOPs on the hill don't give a shit. More than a handful of Dems don't give a shit either.

They voted for the GOP immigration bill in January. The Laiken Riley Act which threw due process under the bus.

they can be prosecuted. I doubt that ICE is filling out the correct paperwork to use aliases for these patients. It is a shame that hospitals are unwilling to stand up against authoritarianism and insist on using the actual names of the patients.
