Ah, you misunderstand. Venezuela is both a stable country that these 300k people can return to and a narco-state run by Tren de Aragua that regularly sends drug shipments into the Caribbean Sea on ordinary fishing boats.

You just have to develop a knack for holding onto both of these ideas at the same time.

They're well aware of the crisis; they just don't care to support the people affected by it.

Immigration courts denying asylum claims isn't new. Family friend was denied after he came to America after his brother was murdered by the cartel. I haven't spoken to him in a long time, last I knew they wanted him to to Mexico (???) and reenter on a different visa.

This article is light on the details And admittedly I’m too lazy to look them up, but a lot of Supreme Court decisions look a lot worse out of context.

It’s clearly wrong to suddenly end this protection status without finding better solutions for these refugees, and it clearly contradicts the gibberish spewing from the executive branch.

But it’s the courts job to decide things like “yes the executive branch can make the determination“, or “yes that does not conflict with the constitution or established precedence” without regard to whether that determination is immoral or self-serving. That is the separation of powers we want restored.

The cynical part of me points out this will make it easier to make their numbers, to brag about all the “dangerous criminals” they’ve deported.

The even more cynical part of me wonders whether this drug cartel they continually blame even exists ….. and why does that putative cartel seem more trustworthy than my government?
