President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts are facing pressure from various sources, including the courts, Democrats, and the public following the mistaken deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis is considering contempt proceedings against the Trump administration for failing to facilitate the man’s return. Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen, are willing to travel to El Salvador to seek the man’s release, putting pressure on Republicans to take action.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s deportation numbers remain stagnant, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement deporting just over 12,000 immigrants in March. This falls short of the mass deportation promised by President Trump. The newsletter also touches on former Vice President Kamala Harris’ potential political comeback in the California governor’s race, as well as comparing her situation to other former vice presidents who sought to revive their careers after losing presidential races.
