Well, I mean, his name is Kilmar. It sounds just like “kill _more_”, so he had to be gotten rid of.

I’d heard on the radio today some spokesperson for the administration (I know, that’s really vague but that’s all I could remember) who essentially said it was okay because they were a member of MS-13 and deserved it.

Really, if you have a “purported” affiliation with a gang, an American can be deported to rot in a foreign jail forever with no due process, despite a protection order from a judge saying they can’t be deported.

Maybe I can get on board with that. I know that the Bloods gang wears red bandanas, and a red tie is pretty close.

There’s a purported gang member there, I even heard he’s married to an immigrant, so he is probably an illegal immigrant as well. Better send him to a Salvadoran prison.

(Shit, the guy’s a convicted felon anyway.)

ETA: It must have been the White House press secretary, because she’s quoted in the article saying pretty much what I remembered from the radio.

> White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday acknowledged the administrative error that led to Abrego Garcia’s deportation but added, without providing evidence, that he “was a member of the brutal and vicious MS-13 gang.” She later said he was an MS-13 “leader.”

While we don’t know exactly why he was hiding under the bed, it’s safe to say that “evil” was probably going to be part of whatever happened next.

If you read to the bottom of the article, though, it seems that after their initial attempt to cover their asses by firing her backfired all over social media, they then counter-covered by offering her her job back. So that’s…good, I guess, in the sense that being offered a job at Wal-Mart can ever been “good”.

In related news, there will be a special election later this month in Minnesota to fill the seat of [state senator Jusin Eichorn (R)](https://www.yahoo.com/news/gov-walz-calls-special-election-173658133.html), who was arrested for soliciting sex from a 17-year-old girl, not realizing that the person he was texting with was an undercover officer.

> [@](#):
>
> After negotiating the price and terms of the encounter, police say they arrested Eichorn when he showed up for the meet-up. Police said he had cash, condoms, and two cell phones in his truck.

Eichorn earlier had made the news by co-sponsoring a bill to make Trump Derangement Syndrome a recognized mental illness in Minnesota (har!).

He resigned ahead of a move to expel him from the Senate. Republicans had urged him to resign, saying he had a “difficult road ahead” and needed to “focus on his family”. The latter got a bit less complicated when his wife filed for divorce.

He’s now facing both state and federal charges. Not a happy time for ex-Sen. Eichorn. Though given how such matters go with Republicans, it doesn’t have to mean the end of his political career.

I feel a little bad for speculating, but even odds between the priest was a kiddie diddler or the shooter was a racist piece of shit he didn’t like an Indian taking an American’s job. Particularly because the priest was the dean of a region (even with years of Catholicism not sure what that is) so presumably an important designation, and notwithstanding how few native Americans (as differentiated from but overlapping with Native Americans) are entering the priesthood.

Story doesn’t mention any sort of assault. I _almost_ see some sense in reprimanding an employee for not reporting _to anyone_ a man barging into the women’s bathroom and spouting hateful nonsense. That _is_ a security risk.

Almost.

Hourly v. salaried managers is a stupid distinction.

That being said,
