NEW today from @miamiherald.com: more men sent to El Salvador on Saturday have been identified by their families, including a 27-year-old who entered legally at a port of entry in 2023 through the CBP One app and a 29-year-old father of a baby born here last year. Neither have any criminal record.
Trump sent these Venezuelans to El Salvador mega prison. Their families deny gang ties.
The day after he was arrested while working at a restaurant in Texas, Mervin Jose Yamarte Fernandez climbed out of a plane in shackles in El Salvador, bound for the largest mega-prison in Latin Americ...

The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison: - A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally. - A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool. - A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang. - A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.
Thank you to @charlesjkenny.bsky.social, @justsand.bsky.social and others @cgdev.org whose careful data work underpins this important and devastating article by @nickkristof.bsky.social in @nytimes.com. A great eg of combining data with the human face of that data.
"We can heal the sick and save children’s lives, all inexpensively... We properly honor a firefighter who saves a single child, but three cheers for us as taxpayers for rescuing millions of children around the world from AIDS, starvation and disease. That is, until January." -- Nick Kristof
