Marco Rubio took away her visa so they can deport her.

And it's not just her. Google "Frengel Reyes Mota" for another example - no criminal record, no gang involvement, not even an anti-israel protestor apparently - just an asylumn-seeker disappeared one day by ICE and sent to an El Salvadorean torture prison.

Can we start documenting these somewhere?

There was also a Russian medical researcher, Kseniia Petrova, who got detained by ICE for supporting Ukraine war. She brought in sample frog embryos and she forgot to declare it. Instead of CBP giving her a $500 fine, they want to deport her back to Putin for supporting Ukraine
