On the ground in El Salvador with the men deported there by the U.S.

from Apple News Today

Earlier this month Venezuelans were designated as gang members by the U.S. with little to no due process, deported to El Salvador, and imprisoned. Photojournalist Philip Holsinger with Time, who was on the tarmac when they arrived, describes what he observed. Government officials faced hard questions in a congressional hearing about how a journalist ended up in a private conversation about war plans on a commercial messaging app. The Washington Post has the details.  The Trump administration’s efforts to detain and deport students living legally in the U.S. who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses have ramped up in recent days. Politico has the story.  Plus, Trump signed an executive order seeking to overhaul voter registration, an Oscar-winning film director was released from Israeli custody in the West Bank, and how Baltimore residents are still feeling the effects of the Key Bridge collapse. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
