@raudaz_ Felicidades Nelson.

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

@MyFirstBitcoin_ @Bitcoinbeach You're right. I'll pay up shortly. I think I failed to recognize (a) Trump's likelihood of victory last November and (b) the impact that his victory would have on the price of BTC.

I covered MS-13 for over a decade: its history, crimes, symbolism, cruelty, pacts with Salvadoran governments. I wrote a book about it. Never, ever, did any of the hundreds of sources I spoke to say anything that would allow us to believe Trump's strange interpretation of tattoos

If they could do this to Andry, an innocent man who did NOTHING wrong (he came to a port of entry seeking asylum), think what else they could do. He never saw a judge, they just threw him on a plane without even telling him where it was going.

THIS IS WHY DUE PROCESS MATTERS.

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

@BreakingNews4X Uh no. This is from a basketball championship. Not the rally today, which was big, but not this big.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Judge Xinis made clear that this is actually a very simple issue: ICE, by its own admission, screwed up. So it should be made to fix its mistake.

Efforts to make this case more complicated are diverting from that basic, core, unchallenged fact.

@HsilvAvalos An MS-13 leader, being prosecuted in EDNY, pled guilty to RICO and terrorism charges March 19. Marlon Antonio Menjívar Portillo (Rojo de Park View), is 1st of defendants to plead.

@thcartwright Ah -- Thanks. A local paper was reporting these as deportation flights.

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

@thcartwright A pretty strange airline to be landing in El Salvador from the US -- bills itself as a low cost airline from Oman with 4 aircraft. OV 4327, OV4321, OV4331, OV4313, OV4335, OV4309

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

@thcartwright Hi @thcartwright -- Is Salam Air a carrier you have seen operating deportation flights? All of a sudden there are 6 flights from Salam Air landing in El Salvador this weekend. Each is a route which starts in a US city with a large Salvadoran population.

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

@thcartwright How do I track whether the number of ICE Air flights is increasing?

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

No reason to stay here and lots of reasons to leave.

The economy and inflation, not crime, afflicts Salvadorans at the beginning of 2025.

The new National library in El Salvador is the backdrop of many of Bukele's spectacles. Today it was the site of a large demonstration against his plans for gold mining

During Trump 1.0, there was an attempt to cancel TPS, connected to the famous "shithole" country remark. I expect Trump will try again.

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

With 10 days left in office, Biden extends Temporary Protected Status for El Salvador through Sept. 2026. https://t.co/HwLwzMDWlK

[Tim Muth @TimMuth]

The notice says "TPS extension is warranted because of continued conditions from environmental disasters that resulted in a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions in the affected areas of El Salvador.". (Wink, wink)
