It is almost the end of Holy Week, the annual Christian commemoration of the Charles, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Jesus. The faithful worldwide are attending to services to listen have a great brunch with the family And let the children look for eggs and chocolate bunny.
Easter is supposed to be a happy moment, but all I can think about is the people who persecuted Jesus. At a time when Christians are called to embrace the message of love and charity of Jesus, our president continues to delight in a cruelty that is, good, biblical.
Even if you are not a Christian, you are probably familiar with the sayings and characters of Holy Week that illustrate the sausage of humanity.
A Judas, for example, is a traitor as terrible as the apostle who turned Jesus into the authorities. We accuse people of “washing their hands” when they are in charge of a bad situation, but we reject responsibility, a reference to Poncio Pilate, the novel governor who ordered the execution of Jesus detracts from his initial reluctance, as described in the Goosepels. The commentators sometimes compare dictators with Herod, the king who ordered the massacre of children in his search to kill the baby Christ.
President Trump is embodying all this and worse with his campaign against undocumented immigrants and anything remotely associated with the issue.
Trump is Trying to deny the citizenship of birth rights, Which is guaranteed by the 14th amendment, to babies born of parents who are not permanent citizens or legal residents. Hey is Seeking to terminate legal status For hundreds of thousands of migrants and has ordered people in the country illegally To register with the Federal Government Under the threat of fines and prosecution. He has also placed Thousands of migrants in the list of dead people from the Social Security Administration Then they will be financial drown out of the country.
And we are only three months in his second term.
His subordinates simulate their glasses defect when doing Miserable life for undocumented immigrants.
The Secretary of National Security, Kristi Name, has tweeted deportations while wearing a more suitable makeup for a real housewife and wears a bright rolex watch. On Valentine’s Day, the official Instagram account of the White House said: “The roses are red/violet are blue/come here illegally/and we will deport it”, complete with a pink background, hearts and shots in Trump’s head and his border tsar, Tom Homan. Earlier this month, the White House shared a video about X of handcuffed migrants escorted by ice agents, scored “Na after Hey Hey (goodbye goodbye).”
This evil has reached a crescendo with Kilmar Abrego García, a Salvadoran citizen who crossed the border at age 16 to escape the violence of gangs. An immigration judge denied his asylum application in 2019, but allowed him to remain in the United States since then, he has married, he had a son and obtained a work permit.
Abrego García is now imprisoned in El Salvador, Started from the United States without a judicial hearing And call a “terrorist” and MS-13 member by Trump, just even if he is never convicted of one leg for a crime. The Trump administration admits that deporting it was an “administrative error.”

But instead of doing everything that can return it to the United States, they are doing everything possible to not, damn the law. And damn, the human cost of leaving Abrego García to languish in a prison system where inmates are crowded in cells and are being used more and more like photographs by Republican legislators.
Don’t take my word for it. Federal judges have described Trump’s actions as “illegal” or “shocking”, with a judge who calls the insistence of the administration that does not have the obligation to return Abrego García to a “fallacy.”
There is a reason why Trump is using illegal immigration to promote the law of the limits of America, if not, spit them on them: a large part of the American population is encouraging it. Their supporters think that they are not affected, that the only people attacked are criminals. And even if immigrants without criminal history are mistreated, such as Garcia and hundreds of others Who did not have the opportunity to play their deportations – They had it anyway, since they should never come to this country.
If Trump’s advisors are his apostles in the sale of his anti -immigrant crusade, Pontius Pilate in this work of Passion is the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, worshiped by US law as Latin American men of Ultra or today. Unlike Roman prelate, he thought, Bukele is more than happy to keep his hands dirty with an unfair persecution.
In an Oval office talk this week, Trump said only Bukele could Abrego García to the United States and President Salvador Promised that it would not happen. When Trump suggested that El Salvador should build more prisons to keep American citizens, Bekele agreed, adding that to “free” the US people, “you have to imprison some.”
In social networks, Bukele made fun of A recent meeting between Abrego García and Maryland Senator Chris van HollenCracking that Abbego García had been “miraculously emerged” from “extermination fields” and “now drank margaritas … in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!”
Instead of shaking before these words, too many Trump supporters, many of whom are professors, simply Shug.
The persecution of Abrego García and other deported migrants reminds me of another Christian: the German theologian Martin Niemöller, who wrote the poem that begins: “First they come for the Socialists, and I did not speak, because I was not a socialist.”
Niemöller was denouncing the complacency of his compatriots when the Nazis went up to power by first attacking the most despised groups in German society. Prose is as famous as Cliché, but Niemöller’s message is the same as Christians we take until the week’s duration.
Tyrant never wants to stop. Only by standing with at least among us can win, otherwise, evil rules.
So what is, Americans?
