Trump’s Arrests Take Dark, Unnerving Turn, and MAGA Rage Boils Over. As JD Vance and press secretary Karoline Leavitt angrily defend the removal of a Maryland man to a Salvadoran prison in “error,” a shrewd immigration observer says we’re now in alarmingly lawless territory. Here’s the real story: They’re all fine with “accidental” deportations because they want immigrants to fear they’re going to be next.
