Here come the trumped up charges.
- 47ed up charged
Nazi Germany sent more than just Jews, disabled, and homosexuals to their camps. They also sent political enemies.
- Gypsies, everyone's forgetting Gypsies because lots of Europeans are silently happy about the outcome. Also people with mental conditions.
  Political enemies - yeah, they'd send them to camps sometimes, but mostly just beat them to death in some repurposed building. Or guillotine them.
Taken from her family just before midnight and thrown into a prison for speaking out against an authoritarian POS.
Dumb question: Was she their lawyer in the US or in El Salvador?
- IIRC she is a El Salvador lawyer working from there, that dictator slapped some embezzlement charge on her or something similar to how many dictator silence opposition, i.e. Nulvany
I thought the headline was going to end in deported lol.
