Weiss comes off as both insufferable and stupid in that memo. Does she really believe that any member of the trump administration is going to go on record explaining their likely illegal actions in shipping these men out of the country to a concentration camp after a judge ordered them not to? Pretty sure their lawyers would strongly advise they didn't.
Weiss was hired to be a propagandist for the regime. This Memo shows she's doing what it takes to keep her job.
on the charged vs convicted thing, I guess current charges can be a reason to detain someone, but if pending charges were justification to send someone to CECOT, we'd be in even more trouble than we're already in. None of her points were good but I found that bewildering as an argument.
And the memo shows the hollowness of her punditry: rely on empty formalism to try to recast things in a way that looks objective and non-partisan, while ignoring what plain, verified facts indicate about this MAGA administration in particular and the contemporary right in general.

I am glad that you broke your time off for this. Spot on sir!
Oops. The complete version. In a colossal fuck up, Mightn't it have been more accurate to say "In a colossal act of providence"?
Bari Weiss doesn't know about reporting. All she knows is punditry.

I'm so old I remember when America's Banana Republic was a clothing brand
