Commenting on the disappearing by the Trump administration of Andry José Hernández Romero and Neri Alvarado, Greg Olear says,
"You know, those people are gone. So this is horrifying. And it speaks to where this is headed, because the longer that they do this kind of thing without any repercussions, the more they’re going to push it and start rounding up other people also."

"Over the last few months, some erstwhile supporters of Donald have started to notice his blatant disregard for human life, as if this disregard is new. I personally have been aware of this since the 1970s."

"Donald and his regime claim people chose to put him in office specifically for them to be as cruel as humanly possible to people with brown skin—especially if they're undocumented workers who have allegedly committed crimes."
John Harwood characterizes Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, as the face of Trump’s cruelty, and says,
"Trump's 'border czar' has 'no moral line,' say his critics, and the man himself proudly brags that he doesn't care about judges, the rule of law, or even the Pope."
Homan, who describes himself as a "lifelong Catholic" and "devout Mass-goer," has told Pope Francis to mind his business and stick to religion — to butt out of Holman's business with immigrants.
Trump's media guru Karoline Leavitt, who lied boldly about disappearing of immigrants this week, is another lifelong Catholic schooled from grade school through college in Catholic schools. She describes herself as an ardently "pro-life" Catholic.
"Well, we can all see that that cherished assumption has not held against the rise of an entranced cult, 77 million voters unleashing the hounds, a right-wing Supreme Court supermajority immunizing a felonious president and supporting oligarchy, and a Republican-controlled Congress that has abandoned its duty to the rule of law, the Constitution and sanity itself."
