A sister as well as a friend of Neri Alvarado Borges confirm that he is now back in Venezuela. Neri's wrongful imprisonment attracted international attention. He is the 25-year-old with an autism awareness ribbon tattooed on his leg. This is him leaving the plane.

CONFIRMED: Arturo Suárez, the musician imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process in El Salvador for 4 months is FREE. A video shows him telling his brother that while they were imprisoned, they were beaten daily by guards. Remember: this is the first ever mass release from CECOT.

Mother Jones DONATE A relative shared a video from Venezuelan broadcaster teleSUR featuring his brother, Arturo Suárez, on the plane after it landed near Caracas. "We spent four months without any contact with the outside world; " Suárez said. "We were kidnapped." He went on to say: "We got a beating for breakfast. We got a beating for lunch. We got a beating for dinner.'

Amazing AP image from Ariana Cubillos of Arturo Suárez, a Venezuelan musician sent to CECOT, walking off the plane. (Identified to me by a relative.) “We spent four months without any contact with the outside world,” Suárez told teleSUR today. “We were kidnapped.”

"The bitterness is still there. The anger about what happened to him is still there.” After four months, more than 200 men sent to El Salvador have been released from CECOT and returned to Venezuela. @nlanard.bsky.social and I spoke with family members and friends waiting to be reunited with them.

"We were kidnapped"

On Friday, more than 200 Venezuelans disappeared to a megaprison in El Salvador returned home. The horror stories are already emerging.

Earlier today, the mother of Julio Zambrano, one of the Venezuelans sent to CECOT, was told to go to Caracas for some "good news." She's at the airport in anticipation of her son's arrival after four long months. @nlanard.bsky.social and I are in touch with other families as they wait for more news.

Her husband is trapped in a Salvadoran prison. She has no idea how to get him back.

Ripped apart by Trump, one Venezuelan family endures another hell: silence.

“What’s the big deal about allowing them to opt out?” Justice Sam Alito asked yesterday about a district not allowing parents to opt their children out of LGBTQ storybooks. The big deal, educators warn, is that today, it’s LGBTQ books. Tomorrow, it’s evolution. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The parental Rights movement has a big day at the Supreme Court

Conservative justices seem poised to declare that kids' exposure to LGBTQ books can violate a parent's religious expression.
