- The Trump administration's use of personal devices and Signal for sensitive communications, leading to the accidental inclusion of a journalist, highlights significant security protocol gaps and the need for better regulation and ownership of mistakes.
- The deportation of alleged gang members to El Salvador's notorious prison without due process raises serious human rights concerns and could undermine the administration's broader goals by alienating voters who value justice and fairness.
