Hallo, ich bin Alex Woodward, ein hochrangiger US -Reporter bei The Independent. Meine Arbeit hat alles von Trumps Einwanderungspolitik und rechtlichen Schlachten bis hin zu Stimmrechten, Anti-Abtreibungsgesetzen, Diskriminierung und dem Aufstieg rechtsextremer Bewegungen und Medien abgedeckt. In jüngster Zeit hat meine Berichterstattung Trumps Abschiebungsagenda innerhalb seiner ersten 100 Tage im Amt hervorgehoben: Ungefähr 137 Männer wurden gemäß dem Gesetz über Alien Enemies in ein berüchtigter Gefängnis in El Salvador gebracht. In der Zwischenzeit wurden mindestens 1.500 Studentenvisa an mehr als 250 Universitäten widerrufen, auf internationale Studenten abzielen-viele von ihnen, die pro-palästinensische Befürworter kritisieren, kritisch gegenüber dem Israel-Krieg im Gaza. Trumps Vorgehen ist nicht auf Einwanderer beschränkt. Er hat offen erklärt, dass er „sehr glücklich“ sein würde, auch „Hausangriffe“ in El Salvadors Gefängnisse zu schicken. Fragen Sie mich etwas. Ich werde mit der Beantwortung von Fragen um 13:30 Uhr ET anfangen.
Hier sind einige Links zu Geschichten, die nützlich sein können:

Trump würde sich „sehr glücklich“ freuen, „Hausangriffe“ in El Salvadors Gefängnisse zu schicken. Es ist „unglaublich illegal“

Why did the media spend the last four years convincing people none of this was going to happen?
If a citizen got deported, the SCOTUS says they must be brought home, but the admin refused to do it, realistically what could be done to enforce the court ruling if the executive just says „nah bruh“?
What’s up with Guantanamo will it still be used for immigrants or has that changed
Did you watch Trump’s interview with Terry Moran? Are you surprised that Trump truly believes „MS13“ was blatantly tattoo’d on Garcia’s hand?
Why are there no Republicans stepping up to saying what is happening is against our democracy and constitution?
There are no checks and balances. What is going on?

Thanks for doing this.
Based on conversations you’ve had and details you’ve uncovered, is there ANY hope of real resistance from Congress (or even the courts) to slow down trump? Is there ANY line that would be too much for republicans? Simply put – is there any hope of our other elected officials doing anything to stop this?
What are house democrats doing to stop this hostile government takeover? Who is going to keep Trump in check?
As a green card, permanent resident, am I at risk for being deported? I have 4 years left before renewing, and concerned to go in and begin the process of renewing it or even taking steps for citizenship if this might get me caught in some stressful process.
Is there any real hope of any of this being able to be stopped by our current law systems?
I get this is a doomer question, but Trump getting away with things really does call into question the validity of our laws and legal systems.
Appreciate the opportunity to engage and participate. It seems like disinformation, omission and outright propaganda are rampant in US media today. Which sources of media are proponents of the truth, which aren’t and how can we tell if they are a mixed bag?
As it currently stands, Trump does a bad thing, a court says he cannot do a bad thing, he ignores it and continues doing the bad thing, and everyone just collectively shrugs. The USMS serves the courts, not the House or Senate, and not the president. *The courts*. So when a court issues a lawful order putting a pause, outright end, or undoing of illegal activity like deportation of US citizens, why is the USMS not stepping up and enforcing it? Who ***is*** enforcing court orders?
Why do you feel that many news organizations are sane washing what Trump actually says and not reporting word for word the crazy things he says?
Can you explain the administration’s rationale behind CECOT/El Salvador?
Is this Plan B to Gitmo, chosen because of the legal loopholes that offshore detention allow them to exploit?
Is it payback to Venezuela for not accepting deportation flights?
Is it something else?
I can’t tell if the administration is trying to set up gulags or if they’re using these people as a bargaining chip to get Venezuela to fall in line.
Will the El Salvador detainees have any hope of due process there?
What happens next for them? Will they just be incarcerated indefinitely?
Do you think you’ve wrote any articles on Trump so far, that one day might be used to help write history books about the monumental fall of the United States of America?
