DOJ plane reportedly taking Maduro and his wife to Stewert Airport in New York. Thanks to @Borrowed7Time @LatAmMilMVMTs@TheIntelFrog for the plane identification today.

Guantánamo is again holding detained migrants.

A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
