so she can get the "real story" on conditions there... undercover as an inmate of course!.

But then I also think we are attacking the wrong country in central / south America.

There is no doubt that MS-13 exists and is full of bad people... who should spend a very long time in prison ( some for life ). But not CECOT. And the people we sent there, 90% are likely not guilty of anything other than trying to make money to support them by illegally ( and many legally ) entering the USA.

For the prison guards that run that place...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Austin

.... The University of Austin was conceived in May 2021 when venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, St. John's College president Pano Kanelos, British–American historian Niall Ferguson, and journalist Bari Weiss met in Austin.[11] The proposal was publicized six months later in an article by Kanelos in Weiss's newsletter Common Sense (which has since evolved into The Free Press).[12][13] ....

After initially holding silent about the reasons for his resignation from UATX’s advisory board, Steven Pinker told The Harvard Crimson that UATX had "confused freedom of speech with the political right"—that it had staffed itself primarily with people on the right, regardless of their position on free speech, extending to some opponents of it.[17] However, upon the announcement of the certification of UATX’s undergraduate program, Pinker acknowledged UATX’s "maturity" in light of his previous "misgivings," lauding its newly earned certification and the "contrast & challenge to the legacy universities" it offers.[50]
