      They blasted it on the WhiteHouse.gov page. It wasn’t even an attempted disappearing. It was a brag… so, to answer your question: No.

      Media organizations seem to have a problem reporting accurately. Either it’s this fluffy-assed senationalization to get clicks, or it’s a false equivocation or downplaying like with “resembling a Nazi salute” when reporting on Musk. Reporters and their publications have become so weak-willed. Journalism is dying a hard death.

        They abducted Khalil, took him to an ICE detention center in New York City, then moved him to a different, undisclosed facility. For all of Sunday, Khalil’s wife and lawyer could not locate him; he had effectively been disappeared. Only yesterday did they finally discover his whereabouts: a privately owned ICE detention center flagged by human rights organization for severe medical neglect and both physical and sexual assault.

        For a full day, he had been disappeared.

          No he hadn’t. Because people who have been disappeared are never seen or heard from again. It’s like claiming someone was murdered, but later recovered.

            We haven’t hit the heat death of the universe so I’m holding out hope that nobody in history has ever been disappeared.

            Don’t you have boots to be licking?
