Trump is aware of that, he's given ICE access to that information to help track them down.

“How can I return him to the United States? Am I going to smuggle him? Of course I’m not going to do it,” Bukele said while sitting beside President Donald Trump. “The question is preposterous.”

Ideally you would return him because the president of the United States asked you to, but I suppose Trump doesn't think the Supreme Court's ruling that the US government needs to "facilitate" Garcia’s return requires such an extraordinary level of effort.

This guy may be volunteering to be another person who needs to be returned from El Salvador. The trip could go very badly for him.

It's ridiculous that the US government is paying a foreign government to detain prisoners on its behalf and seems to be claiming it didn't put anything in the contract about a way to get the prisoners back.

The article is out of date. According to this one, the game has been removed from sale on Steam in the UK, Canada and Australia, and the dev is going to withdraw it from Steam entirely.

Zerat Games has announced it will withdraw its sexually explicit visual novel from Steam after it was removed from sale in the UK, Canada, and Australia.

Posted to the game's Steam page, which is no longer accessible to those who have not previously purchased the game, the developer defended its title but confirmed it would be removed from the platform.

"We don't intend to fight the whole world, and specifically, we don't want to cause any problems for Steam and Valve," the developer said.

Ford backed out of canceling Starlink in February, but as far as I can tell he cancelled for good in March.

Why would they impeach him for something the Republicans on the Supreme Court will declare perfectly legal?

Influencers like Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk accused her of betraying conservative values despite past praise.

Just to be clear, this was after she voted to block some DOGE stuff; they're not claiming that wanting to keep people from being deported on flimsy justifications with no due process is a betrayal of "conservative values" (yet).

The trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that Trump signed in his first term will be up for review next year, but he decided to "negotiate" with tariffs this year instead. Any country can look at how Trump has handled the USMCA for a preview of how an agreement with Trump will go.

If he makes it 420% maybe Elon will get on board.

CNBC doesn't mention it, but other coverage says China has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization. It's weird how little the WTO comes up in relation to Trump's trade war.

 

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
