By “criminals”, Trump meant “some actual criminals, but mostly people I don’t like because they’re not rich enough or white enough” to be worthy of Trump’s shining dystopia.

What's with the stupid headline? "Okay," my ass. Don't use it when you don't mean it.

The criminal in the White House is accusing innocent immigrants—without proof or due process—of being criminals. This is evil.

The only way to stop this corrupt regime is to protest in huge numbers. June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

That's why all the people were sent to El Salvador without due process. So he could look like he was doing something.
