Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.

This week's post at Seeing Like Chicago is about Saul Alinsky, the famous community organizer and author of Rules for Radicals. To my surprise, he studied crime, hanging out with Al Capone's gang, while studying sociology around 1930.
