Dozens of people in Tibetan areas have been arrested since 2021 for politically motivated phone and internet-related offenses. The arrests often target Tibetans for having "banned content" on their phones or contacting people outside China, according to a report by Human Rights Watch

Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship #USCitizens to #ElSalvador
Trump officials are talking internally about #denaturalizing #AmericanCitizens — and potentially sending some to #ElSalvador
By Nikki McCann Ramirez, Asawin Suebsaeng, Andrew Perez - April 12, 2025
"Donald #Trump and his White House have moved to deport #GreenCard holders for espousing #ProPalestinian views, shipped hundreds of #migrants to a notorious #Salvadoran #MegaPrison without due process (in defiance of a judge’s order), and are now publicly musing about sending United States citizens to prison in El Salvador.
"Trump said last weekend he would 'love' to send American criminals there — and would even be 'honored' to, depending on 'what the law says.' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this week that the president has discussed this idea privately, too, adding he would only do this 'if it’s legal.'
"El Salvador’s president, #Nayi Bukele, has for months been offering to hold U.S. citizens in his country’s prison system, which he has turned into 'a judicial black hole' rife with 'systematic #torture,' as one #HumanRights advocate recently told Rolling Stone.
"Legal experts agree that sending American citizens to prison in El Salvador would be flagrantly illegal under both U.S. and international law — and that the idea itself is shockingly #authoritarian, with few parallels in our nation’s history.
"The Trump administration is indeed discussing this idea behind the scenes, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Rolling Stone. In their most serious form, these conversations have revolved around attempting to denaturalize American citizens and deport them to other countries, including El Salvador.
" 'You can’t deport U.S. citizens. There’s no emergency exception, there’s no special wartime authority, there’s no secret clause. You just can’t deport citizens,' says Steve Vladeck, a legal commentator and law professor at Georgetown.
" 'Whatever grounds they try to come up with for denaturalization or #expatriation, the one thing that is absolutely undeniable is that people are entitled to individualized processes, before that process can be effectuated.'
"In the United States, the grounds to strip a naturalized individual of their citizenship encompass serious material offenses. They include: committing #treason or #terrorism, enlisting in a foreign military engaged in opposition to the United States, or lying in applications for citizenship or as part of the naturalization process."

Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life.

"The federal government’s suspension of refugee resettlement programs in January has made it too difficult for the bishops’ conference to continue operating our resettlement agency." People harmed by Trump include former "translators for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, and people fleeing countries with oppressive governments, such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Somalia, and many other places":

Even though there is a strong legal case, Rep. Daniel Goldman wrote: "Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States."

TR volunteer role open for someone who would like to work with lots of people from all over the world. Chat with a couple in Mozambique today, a nice woman in Indonesia tomorrow.
You need to be able to spend a bit of time (flexible) on it most days, be reliably available (it's critical to passenger safety, but you will have backup), and inventive and resourceful at times.
If you want to help us save lives, drop us a PM here.
