Top Trump official torches Dem senator’s ‘advocacy for a known terrorist’ during fiery hearing: ‘Alarming’

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Democratic senators, including Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Chris Murphy, sparred over Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation to El Salvador.
«We have a limited amount of time. I just asked you, Madam Secretary, whether or not you or the Department of Homeland Security are taking any action to facilitate the 9-0 Supreme Court decision to facilitate his return. This is a very simple question. Are you taking any action to facilitate his return, or are you not?» Van Hollen asked at the Senate Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing.
«This administration is following and complying with all federal court orders,» Noem replied.
«So you are so because the court ordered that you facilitate his return. So you are facilitating his return?»

«Sir. Senator, thank you for the question. But what I would tell you is that we are following court orders. I’m certain that your advocacy for a known terrorist is alarming,» she fired back.
«Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador and should never have been in this country and will not be coming back to this country,» Noem told Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., in a heated exchange at the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Thursday morning.
«There is no scenario where an Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again. If he were to come back, we would immediately deport him again because he is a terrorist. He’s a human smuggler, and he is a wife-beater,» she continued.
Murphy had asked the secretary if she had «reached out to your counterpart in El Salvador to facilitate Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release.»
«Does the Supreme Court decision not require you to facilitate the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia?» Murphy later asked.

«The Trump administration is complying with all court orders and judges’ orders,» she replied.
Abrego Garcia, 29, is a Salvadoran illegal immigrant and suspected MS-13 gang member who was living in Maryland until he was deported to the high-security Terrorist Confinement Center (CECOT) in his home country during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
Though many Democrats, including Maryland’s Van Hollen, claim that Abrego Garcia is an innocent man who was «wrongly deported,» the administration has pointed to considerable evidence that he is a member of the infamous MS-13 gang.
In recent weeks, two protective orders suggested that he was abusive to his wife, who is now advocating for his release. In addition, the Tennessee Highway Patrol released body camera footage of its 2022 encounter with him, where state troopers suspected he was involved in human trafficking.

Several Democrats have argued that he was not given proper due process and that the evidence that he is a member of MS-13, which has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration, is not sufficient to justify his removal.

Noem faced mixed reactions of praise and intense criticism at the hearing on Thursday, as Republicans applauded the department’s efforts on illegal immigration, whereas Democrats raised concerns about spending and legal processes.

Enfermedad verde, el extraño padecimiento que afectaba a jóvenes vírgenes en el siglo XVII

En la Londres del siglo XVII, decenas de jóvenes mujeres morían cada año por la llamada “enfermedad verde”, un diagnóstico desaparecido hoy de la medicina.
El fenómeno se registró principalmente entre mujeres adolescentes, alrededor de los años 1650. La afección preocupó tanto a médicos, familias y autoridades, que intentaron explicar sus causas y buscar posibles tratamientos. El término marcó la historia médica durante siglos, aunque para la actualidad su significado resulta confuso.
De acuerdo con National Institutes of Health, las primeras descripciones médicas de la enfermedad destacaron varios síntomas. Las jóvenes afectadas presentaban rostros pálidos, debilidad extrema, dificultad para alimentarse, hinchazón de tobillos y una pronunciada apatía.

Según detalló JSTOR Daily, numerosos médicos del período asociaron la enfermedad exclusivamente con mujeres jóvenes que no habían contraído matrimonio. Así, surgió la expresión popular “enfermedad de las vírgenes”, reforzando la idea de que un cierto estado civil guardaba relación directa con la salud.
John Graunt, considerado precursor de la estadística en Inglaterra, analizó el fenómeno en la capital británica. En sus informes, empleó eufemismos para evitar detalles explícitos sobre una supuesta causa sexual, pues en la época resultaba vergonzoso mencionarla.
En ese sentido, Graunt anotó en su tabla de mortalidad “Stopping of the Stomach”, pero aclaró que, en verdad, hacía referencia a la enfermedad verde.

Durante siglos, la enfermedad también ocupó un lugar notable en la cultura popular. Shakespeare empleó el término en Romeo y Julieta y en Henry IV, Parte 2 para ridiculizar o señalar debilidades. La referencia a una apariencia pálida y enfermiza reforzó la idea de un vínculo entre la salud física y el estado emocional o social de los adolescentes.
Según el historiador Winfried Schleiner, la enfermedad resultó tan conocida que se convirtió en un recurso de la sátira política, la literatura y el teatro de la época.
Las jóvenes con “enfermedad verde” despertaron no solo preocupación médica, sino también comentarios mordaces y bromas sobre su situación personal y social. La descripción más difundida incluía rostros pálidos y “corazón tembloroso ante el más pequeño esfuerzo”.

De acuerdo con National Institutes of Health, la denominación proviene del griego chloros, que significa amarillo verdoso, resaltando el aspecto pálido de las afectadas. Los médicos del siglo XVI, como Johann Lange y Rodrigo a Castro, interpretaron la dolencia vinculándola a desequilibrios de los “humores” y atribuyeron su causa a la retención de “sangre mala” por la falta de actividad sexual o por vasos sanguíneos demasiado estrechos.
Ante la imposibilidad de recomendar el matrimonio para todas las jóvenes, sugerían sangrías o enemas como tratamiento alternativo, especialmente en el caso de mujeres consagradas a la vida religiosa.
La enfermedad permaneció ligada a la feminidad durante generaciones. Sin embargo, algunas obras literarias extendieron el término, en clave de burla, a hombres que no bebían alcohol ni tenían experiencia amorosa. Estos usos evidenciaron la carga simbólica y social del diagnóstico mucho más allá de cualquier base fisiológica comprobada.

Helen King, citada por Schleiner, detectó que menciones a la “green sickness” aparecieron en manuales médicos hasta los años 1920. No obstante, el diagnóstico desapareció del repertorio de enfermedades reconocidas durante el siglo XX. Las razones de este abandono se vinculan tanto al cambio en las costumbres sociales como a la comprensión médica de los síntomas.
De acuerdo a diversas investigaciones, médicos de la época confundieron manifestaciones de anemias reales con nociones sociales y morales relacionadas con la virginidad. La medicina moderna identifica la anemia como una afección causada por deficiencias nutricionales, enfermedades crónicas u otros motivos, sin vincularla al estado civil o a cuestiones morales.
Algunas crónicas y versos satíricos, como los referidos al duque de Monmouth, reforzaron la idea de que solo el matrimonio o las relaciones sexuales podían “curar” la enfermedad en las jóvenes.
Así se profundizó la estigmatización social sobre las mujeres solteras o quienes no deseaban contraer matrimonio, catalogándolas de enfermas por su estado.
A lo largo del tiempo, la noción de “enfermedad verde” funcionó como un reflejo de los prejuicios y el desconocimiento científico sobre la salud de las mujeres adolescentes.
El diagnóstico reflejó la interacción de factores culturales, médicos y religiosos en una época donde el acceso al conocimiento médico era limitado y dominado por creencias heredadas de la Antigüedad.
Actualmente, no existe ninguna evidencia que vincule la falta de matrimonio con enfermedades hematológicas. La desaparición del término “green sickness” y su olvido en la medicina contemporánea muestran cómo los diagnósticos pueden estar más influidos por valores sociales que por la evidencia científica.
Según especialistas como Helen King y Winfried Schleiner, el estudio de “enfermedad verde” permite comprender cómo la sociedad interpretó los síntomas de jóvenes mujeres y cómo la ciencia evolucionó al dejar atrás los mitos y avanzar hacia una comprensión basada en datos verificables y observación clínica.

Antifa agitation turns violent in Germany, bolstering Trump admin’s foreign terror label

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A mass protest on Saturday filled with many activists from the radical organization Antifa, which President Donald Trump designated as a domestic terrorist organization, delayed the start of a conference for the right-wing populist German party Alternative for Germany (AfD) youth wing called Generation Deutschland.
Between 25,000 and 30,000 protesters turned out against the AfD youth convention in the central German city of Giessen, prompting the largest police contingent (6,000 officers) in the history of the state of Hesse.
The AfD co-leader Alice Weidel blasted the demonstrators at the city’s convention center. «What is being done out there – dear left-wingers, dear extremists, you need to look at yourselves – is something that is deeply undemocratic.»

According to the Associated Press, officers used pepper spray after stones were thrown at them at one location, police said. They also used water cannons to clear a blockade by about 2,000 protesters after they ignored calls to leave. They did so again Saturday afternoon as a group tried to break through barriers toward the city’s convention center. Police said up to 6,000 officers were deployed, and 10 to 15 were slightly injured.
The former U.S. ambassador to Germany during the first administration, Richard Grenell, warned on X about the dangers of the anti-democratic left in the Federal Republic of Germany. He wrote:» The intolerant and violent Left is gaining ground in Germany. If they follow the U.S. left then they will promote deadly violence while also losing public support — and elections. But they won’t see the errors of their ways because the German left gets lots of support from the media in Germany. It’s publicly funded, too. The conservative media is small and timid — but growing fast.»

Boris Rhein, the Christian Democratic Union governor of the state of Hesse, criticized the attacks on police and the attempt to torpedo the AfD youth event. «The use of violence and attempts to prevent assemblies through marches can never be democratic means,» said Rhein.
The AfD scored an impressive second place election result in February, securing 20.8% of the vote. However, the mainstream German parties refused to form a coalition with the AfD because of what they said were its extremist views.

The youth division of the AfD elected 28-year-old Jean-Pascal Hohm as its chairman. According to an article in the German paper Die Welt, a local intelligence report quoted him as expressing anti-immigrant and nationalist views. «We will fight resolutely for a genuine shift in migration policy that ensures Germany remains the homeland of Germans, «Hohm said at the start of the conference.
The creation of Generation Deutschland unfolded after Germany’s federal intelligence agency classified the previous AfD youth chapter, Young Alternative, as an «extremist organization» in 2023, causing its dissolution.

AfD portrays itself as an anti-establishment force at a time of low trust in politicians. It first entered the national parliament in 2017 following the arrival of large numbers of migrants in the mid-2010s. Curbing migration remains its signature theme, but it has shown a talent for capitalizing on discontent about other issues too. That was reflected in leaders’ confident tone Saturday.
