Hungary earlier released at least 2000 foreign people smugglers from prison, ordering them to leave the country.

The European Commission thinks it's a violation of European law.

>> ... International Rights Advocates filed a U.S. lawsuit against the coffee titan [Starbucks] alleging #trafficking and Coffee Watch filed a petition with U.S. customs authorities asking the government to block imports from #Brazil to the U.S. of coffee tainted by slavery and forced labor by top importers including #Starbucks, #Nestlé, JDE, #Dunkin’, #Illy, and #McDonald’s...

>> “The coffee industry, led by Starbucks, has slaves working in its supply chain right this minute, and we must stop this abuse, starting in Brazil, as the world’s top coffee producer,” said Etelle Higonnet, Coffee Watch Founder and Director. “We’re talking about a multi-billion-dollar coffee industry and giant corporations like Starbucks that have failed to ensure their supply chains are free of horrific human rights abuses. Starbucks must take action.”

"With the Roberts Court having already blanketed the President with immunity from prosecution and the Justice Department firmly in his pocket, it is difficult to envision a scenario where the judicial branch is able to effectively enforce its orders in face of Trump’s defiance or to impose enforceable consequences for his failure to comply."

"Van Hollen has said that other members of Congress are going to visit El Salvador demanding answers. Hopefully, that will include members in leadership. And hopefully others in the Senate and House will take a cue from Van Hollen’s actions, and figure out ways to show up for their constituents in person."

"In El Salvador today, authorities denied Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) a meeting or a phone call with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man the Trump regime sent by 'administrative error' to the terrorist prison CECOT. Abrego Garcia is Van Hollen’s constituent, and the senator promised his family to try to get him released."

U.S. President Donald Trump has talked big about cracking down on the fentanyl trade. But in a @BBCNews investigation, traffickers say his efforts won’t amount to much. “Last time he was in office, he tried to do the same thing, and it never happened.”
