Stephen Miller Burns WH Press Corps Over Sympathy for Illegal Alien Rapists

Over the course of at least 20 years, we have slid into a world of euphemistic, feminized public conversation full of feelings and empty of facts. The cultural rise of what you could call “resentment feminism,” which is really just female narcissism, has made it impossible for many alleged adults to use their brains. Oh, they claim they have “thoughts” about policy and societal questions, but they don’t. They have feelings. 

Everyone knows this is true. Look at the way we talk now, compared to 20 years ago. Even middle-aged adults—even men—talk about “vibes,” “feelz,” “inclusivity,” “belonging.” There’s been at least a 10-year social ban on recognizing that men in dresses aren’t women because we’re not allowed to “invalidate” “transwomen.” This is the product of a culture that has put the prototypical elementary school teacher on a cultural pedestal while wussifying boys and men. 

The change in tone, the infantilization of adult political discourse, is most obvious in the legacy news media. There was never a golden age in which the New York Times, CNN, and CBS only told the truth straight down the middle, but there was a time in living memory when you could expect at least some facts, and almost no overt “feelings,” in the pages of the newspapers of record. 

Today? News anchors blatantly editorialize during their broadcasts. The entire legacy media is liberal and woke, and hates Donald Trump with an intensity usually reserved for intra-family generational grudges. Women like Rachel Maddow on MSNBC drone on in histrionic terms, telling Americans that the Republican Party is bringing authoritarianism and fascism to the country because the President wants to deport illegal aliens. 

While no one was looking it became mainstream cultural opinion, at least in the media, that’s it’s “mean” to kick people out of the U.S. who broke in illegally. In April of 2025 we were treated to the astonishing spectacle of elected U.S. officials flying to El Salvador to do “wellness checks” on a Salvadoran gang member who finally got booted out of the country, which makes liberals sad. 

That’s why it’s such a treat to watch top Trump advisor Stephen Miller bring back fully adult, masculine, fact-based authority to the political conversation. The man knows the constitution and U.S. law backward and forward, and he tolerates no mewling emotional nonsense from the mainstream press. 

Check out this scolding Miller gave the White House press corps, which seems to have no idea what legal due process actually is. Bafflingly, they’re more concerned about the alleged “legal rights” of foreign nationals who bust into the U.S. than they are about the fact that some of these aliens are raping and murdering American women. 

A good portion of the American public is glad to hear. Here’s how people reacted on X/Twitter. 

Of course, there are always a few who have a hard time understanding clear, declarative sentences. Or, perhaps they’re just “fact-sensitive.”

2 Judges Arrested for Aiding Illegal Aliens; Dem. Pols SCANDALIZED

Hold onto your hat because I’m about to break some unbelievable news: two Democrat activist judge are actually going to face consequences for their illegal (in my view, treasonous) behavior. Both of them were caught hiding, or helping to escape, illegal aliens. That’s right. They were both on the side of illegal aliens and tried to help them evade arrest and deportation. 

First up is Milwaukee County Circuit judge Hannah Dugan, who found herself in handcuffs on April 25. Why? Because she tried to help an illegal alien–a defendant in her courtroom–escape detection by immigration officers. According to a complaint from the U.S. Dept. of Justice, judge Dugan was trying a case in which illegal Mexican alien Eduardo Flores-Ruiz was being tried for battery. Judge Dugan was apparently so upset at contemplating that the border jumper would be deported that, according to the DOJ, she led the defendant and his lawyer through a back door so he could evade federal agents in the lobby waiting to arrest him. 

FBI director Kash Patel said, “We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.”

Next up is a former magistrate judge in New Mexico, Joel Cano, along with his wife, Nancy. The government claims judge Cano was hiding a member of the violent Venezualan gang Tren de Aragua gang, another illegal alien, in his own home. A photo from Fox News alleges to show Joel Cano and his family hanging out in the kitchen with the gang member. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News and described the brazen lawbreaking alleged against judge Dugan. She said, “She comes back into the courtroom. You’re not going to believe this. Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers. Takes them out a private exit and tells them to leave. While the state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.”

This shouldn’t be predictable because it’s insane, but it is predictable: the Democrats are losing their everloving minds. The very idea that a judge could be arrested for breaking the law seems to be entirely new to them. 

Here’s Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders:

Wisconsin’s Rep Gwen Moore is also having difficulty understanding the idea that judges cannot break the law, too. 

Here’s a sampling of reaction on X/Twitter.

Border Brief: Crossings Down 94%, While March Arrests Nearly Match Total for All of FY2024

Border crossings plummeted 94% from a year ago, while arrests of illegal immigrants in March nearly matched the total for all of Fiscal Year 2024, according to new federal data. A Boarder Brief factsheet released by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security on Tuesday highlights U.S. Customs and Border Protection data for March that illustrates the drastic turnaround in the first few months of President Donald Trump’s second term.

The data shows apprehensions along the southern border have declined by 95%, from 137,473 in March 2024 to 7,181 last month, while border encounters nationwide are down 88%, from 189,359 to 11,017 over the same time frame.

“It sure is a breath of fresh air to have a president do what he said he would do,” committee chair Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., said in a statement. “With Southwest border apprehensions hitting yet another record-low, law and order is at an all-time high.

Dem Pols Fly to El Salvador to “Bring Home” El Salvadoran Illegally in the U.S.

Who knew? The Central American nation of El Salvador is 2025’s hottest vacation destination for Democrat politicians from the U.S. Why, it has everything. Sunny beaches, a good-looking president, and Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 

Who? How can you not know? Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a household name! Sadly, it’s true. Somehow, in year 2025, an illegal alien who broke into the United States, got slapped with domestic violence charges (that his wife later dropped), has a membership in the international criminal gang MS-13, and who was once stopped by a cop under suspicion of human trafficking, has become a name everyone on the left knows. 

And everyone on the political left, it seems, wants to be Garcia’s new best friend. The El Salvadoran national, whom the U.S. media insists on deceptively labeling a “Maryland man” or “Maryland father,” jumped the border in 2011. He met a woman and had children. Then cops stopped him in 2019 hanging around with known members of the MS-13 gang. 

Keep up, but remember that he’s an El Salvadoran man. He’s an illegal alien in the U.S. Notice how many years he was allowed to live here with no papers, absolutely unmolested by U.S. authorities. In the meantime, he roughed his wife up so much that she filed for a protective order, then, as so many battered women do, decided to stop pressing charges.

Then this year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Garcia and got him ready for deportation, finally. The left went ballistic, claiming that he “could not be deported,” relying on a prior court order that said he could not be deported to El Salvador, his own country, because he might be hurt by gangs there. But he still was under a deportation order, which Democrats and the media pretend they don’t know. 

That alleged Salvadoran gang (different from MS-13) seems to no longer exist, making him deportable again. But in their zeal to stop an illegal alien gang member from being sent back home, leftists raced to court to get an order stopping his deportation. The Trump administration deported him anyway. 

Now we have the amazing spectacle of multiple elected Democrats flying to El Salvador to do a wellness check on a criminal who isn’t a U.S. citizen. First it was Maryland’s Chris Van Hollen, snapped in photos having a lovely coffee and bottled water tete a tete in El Salvador. 

Now Oregon Democrat Rep. Maxine Dexter is on her way to Central America, proudly proclaiming that she will not leave El Salvador until Kilmar Garcia is returned to the United States. You know, the U.S. in which he is not a citizen, and from which he has been deported. 

Tere’s no way to make any sense of it. Let’s see what X/Twitter users had to say about Dexter’s selfless humanitarian act.

Four More House Dems Try to Visit MS-13 Member in El Salvador, It Doesn’t Go Well

Four House Democrats arrived in El Salvador this week to protest the recent deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who had been living in Maryland before being removed from the United States.

The visit comes amid continued tensions over the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement policies, including the deportation of individuals designated as affiliated with foreign criminal organizations.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), one of the four House members who traveled to El Salvador, said the visit was intended to bring attention to what he called the “wrongful deportation” of Abrego Garcia.

“While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” Garcia said.

“That is why we’re here – to remind the American people that kidnapping immigrants and deporting them without due process is not how we do things in America.”

The other Democratic lawmakers on the trip include Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Maxine Dexter (D-OR), and Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), according to The New York Times.

Their visit follows a similar trip last week by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who also met with Abrego Garcia while in the country.

Abrego Garcia originally entered the U.S. illegally and was placed in removal proceedings.

In 2019, an immigration judge granted him a withholding of removal order based on concerns that he could face persecution if returned to El Salvador.

However, under President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration enforcement orders, Abrego Garcia was deported earlier this year.

The Trump administration has stated that Abrego Garcia is a confirmed member of the violent MS-13 gang and was prioritized for removal due to national security concerns.

Administration officials have pointed to gang-related evidence and public safety risks as justification for the deportation.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, said last week that Abrego Garcia’s removal was lawful and deliberate.

“Abrego Garcia was not mistakenly deported,” Miller said. “A DOJ attorney mischaracterized the case, and that error was corrected. The claim that this was an accident is completely false.”

Abrego Garcia’s immigration case has become a flashpoint in the debate over the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which President Trump invoked earlier this year to accelerate the removal of individuals affiliated with designated foreign terrorist organizations, including MS-13.

The law has been cited in multiple deportation actions tied to public safety concerns.

According to court records, Abrego Garcia has been previously arrested in the U.S. and was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security due to suspected gang activity.

The administration has released photographs that it says show gang-affiliated tattoos linked to MS-13.

Democratic lawmakers have argued that even individuals with alleged gang affiliations are entitled to full due process and legal protections before being removed from the country.

The visit by House Democrats is likely to draw further political attention as the administration continues to defend its immigration enforcement actions.

President Trump has stated that the policy aims to remove violent offenders and restore order to a system that has, according to his administration, been exploited for years.

The White House has not issued a new statement in response to the latest congressional delegation’s trip but has maintained that its immigration enforcement efforts are in line with federal law and necessary for public safety.

Their trip did not go as planned…

Furious Stephen Miller Demands Reparations for All Americans Harmed by Unchecked Illegal Immigration

United States Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller has identified the right group of Americans who are rightly entitled to reparations for harms resulting from bad government policies. 

Over the years, the debate has ignited strong emotions from the left that believe children of former slaves were entitled to reparations based on race alone. U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) even sponsored House Bill H.R. 40, dubbed the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.

However, Miller threw a new wrench in the works by making a strong case for reparations for all Americans who have endured the negative effects of uncontrolled illegal immigration, whose harms, he said, could take more than a lifetime to enumerate.

Appearing on Newsmax, Miller responded to arguments that the deported alleged MS-13 gang member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, should receive $1 million in daily compensation for each day he spent in his home country of El Salvador after Trump’s deportation.

“Where is compensation for Americans… where do they go to get their reparations?” Miller asked. 

He listed various groups of Americans harmed by the former administration’s open borders policy. They include millions of schoolgoing children who can no longer learn to read and write because their schools need hundreds of translators to cater to non-English speaking learners, disrupting the entire learning process.

“We had an entire generation of Americans, multiple generations, in fact, have been robbed of educational opportunities,” Miller lamented.

Others qualifying for reparations due to unchecked illegal immigration include city residents who can no longer access basic services that have been overstretched by illegal immigrants. Urban dwellers who also have endured increased crime and have been internally displaced when foreign gangs, like Tren de Aragua, take over cities and apartment buildings, are also entitled to reparations. 

“Entire cities. Look at Los Angeles…once a paradise of safety, security and prosperity, entire neighborhoods occupied and controlled by foreign gangs,” he added. “Where do all the residents who have been displaced, who have been forced out of Los Angeles? Where do they go to get their reparations?”

Similarly, victims of the immigration-fueled fentanyl crisis and angel parents of children killed by illegal aliens. Recently, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen faced backlash after making grand gestures in support of the deported alleged MS-gang member while barely acknowledging one of the angel moms in his backyard. 

At least 6 illegal immigrants, including an El Salvadoran national, have been convicted or accused of murder in Maryland, while over 13,000 alien murderers countrywide are living outside ICE detention. Maryland also peaked in fentanyl-related deaths in 2021 when Biden took over, with “Black individuals, males, and adults aged 31–60” mostly affected.

“What about the victims of fentanyl poisoning brought in by Democrats’ open border, hundreds of thousands of moms and dads whose kids are dead and buried in the ground,” Miller continued. “Where do they go to get their reparations from the government, and then all the women who have been raped, who’ve been beated, who’ve been murdered.”

Ironically, the Democratic martyr was twice accused of domestic violence by his American wife and slapped with a restraining order.

“[What about] All the dads who’ve been shot dead and our home? All the police officers who have been slain by illegal aliens in ambush attacks in the line of duty?” Miller asked.

Others include hundreds of thousands of childrens trafficked into the country, raped and assulted during the process and placed with unvetted guardians who could be their traffickers. According to Miller, all Americans are entitled to reparations due to decades of illegal immigration that have robbed the country of its wealth, prosperity, and security.

“We can spend the rest of our lives trying to document those harms,” he added.

“Where does our whole country go to get repaid for all of the wealth, all of the prosperity and security that has been stolen from us by decades of uncontrolled, illegal mass migration? Because we all deserve reparations…for what has been stolen from us.”

Ironically, Democrats do not demand compensation for scores of Americans illegally kidnapped and held in foreign hellhole prisons, including those still captured in Gaza by the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, without due process. Additionally, Democrats have been fighting to prevent the deportation of pro-Hamas demonstration organizers, who have declared war on Western civilization.

Maryland Senator Flies to El Salvador to Soothe Poor Scared Gangbanger

As you know, in 2025 America it’s normal to care infinitely about the wellbeing of illegal aliens who jump our border, but to care nothing at all about the safety of Americans. Democrat politicians have been falling over themselves for years bellyaching about “due process” for third-worlders who respect our country so little that they sneak in and then complain about the quality of the free food America gives them. 

We’ve watched while leftist politicians go to bat for the scum of the third world while our wives, daughters, and sisters are raped and murdered by these “guests.” But the ante has been upped by Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, who is allegedly so moved by the plight of Kilmar Abrego Garcia that Van Hollen flew to El Salvador to visit him. Abrego Garcia is the Salvadoran national–he was illegally in the U.S.–deported last week to El Salvador amid a flurry of conflicting court rulings and interpretations. 

Two immigration courts in the past found that the man was a member of the international criminal gang MS13 and was eligible to be deported. At some point, another court ruled at the time that he could not be deported to his home country of El Salvador for fear that the gang he belonged to there would hurt him. That gang, which is different from MS13, no longer exists in El Salvador. 

Abrego Garcia ended up back in El Salvador after the federal government deported him, which set off a round of absolute hysteria among Democrat politicians about “due process.” Maryland’s Van Hollen took it farther than anyone by getting on a plane to El Salvador and demanding that the Salvadoran government let him meet with the deportee. After being rebuffed twice, Van Hollen ended up sitting down with Abrego Garcia somewhere, though it is unclear how this happened, and where the deportee is being incarcerated. 

See how concerned and paternal Van Hollen looks? The Maryland Senator made sure to tell the U.S. press that Abrego Garcia was “traumatized.”

It gets even more unbelievable. Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer, who is tearfully pleading for his return and calling him a loving husband and father, filed court papers against her husband several years ago alleging domestic violence against him. It’s not clear why she is now so supportive of his return. For a time in 2021, Jennifer Garcia had a protective order against her husband. 

All of that appears to be news to Senator Chris Van Hollen, who could not even identify Jennifer at a press conference. Watch him call out her name and look around in bewilderment as the woman realizes he doesn’t even know who she is. 

Oh yes, X/Twitter users had some commentary:

And take a look at this picture of  Van Hollen and Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, with humorous captions added. Does this look like a prison to you? 

President Donald Trump is not letting this go. He reminded the American public on social media that Abrego Garcia is not a “Maryland father” as the media insists, but a foreign national gangbanger:

Naturally, liberals feel very tenderly toward the violent and non-American:

There are none so blind as those who have decided that they will not see:

Border Czar Tom Homan Flattens CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Live TV

Tom Homan, the border czar under President Donald Trump, appeared on CNN Thursday night and strongly refuted claims made by host Kaitlan Collins regarding the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a known MS-13 gang member, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The tense exchange followed renewed media criticism after Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador despite past court rulings and legal challenges.

WASHINGTON D.C., USA – FEBRUARY 4, 2025: Kaitlan Collins speaks ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump news conference in the East Room of the White House.

Abrego Garcia illegally entered the United States in 2011. According to the Trump administration, two separate court rulings confirmed his membership in the violent transnational MS-13 gang.

Those rulings formed the basis for his classification as both an illegal alien and a designated foreign terrorist, prompting his removal from the United States.

In 2019, an immigration judge allowed Abrego Garcia to remain in Maryland due to safety concerns if returned to El Salvador.

However, since then, conditions in El Salvador have shifted significantly, and President Nayib Bukele has launched a nationwide crackdown on gang violence, leading to the near-eradication of MS-13 in the country.

Despite the immigration judge’s 2019 ruling, the Trump administration proceeded with deportation, citing updated security assessments and Abrego Garcia’s designation as a terrorist.

A subsequent ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court directed the administration to “facilitate” his return to the U.S., following pressure from lower courts, including an Obama-appointed judge who urged federal authorities to not only facilitate but “effectuate” the return.

El Salvador, however, has refused to comply. President Bukele has publicly stated that he will not allow Abrego Garcia to return to the United States, and the gang member remains in Salvadoran custody.

During the CNN interview, Collins relied on the 2019 immigration ruling to criticize the administration’s actions. She asked Homan:

“What would you say to those who worry that the stance of this administration is that if someone is deported by accident, they have no responsibility once they’re in the custody of a foreign government?”

Homan responded:

“He’s in the custody of El Salvador; he’s an El Salvadoran national… The El Salvadoran president has made it clear he’s not going to release him.”

He also reiterated that the Department of Justice is handling the ongoing legal battle, and that future developments will be decided by the courts.

Collins pressed further, citing the 2019 ruling as evidence that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was improper.

“Even though it was an immigration judge that said the one place he can’t go is El Salvador, he could have been deported literally anywhere else…”

Homan quickly responded:

“We keep going back and back… That was years ago, the country was different. That gang no longer exists in El Salvador.”

The interview ended with no resolution but highlighted the ongoing conflict between the judiciary, the executive branch, and international partners over immigration enforcement involving foreign nationals tied to terrorism and organized crime.

Grabbed, Punched, Ripped off Her Shirt: New Evidence on MS-13 Gang Member Deported to El Salvador

More details on the alleged MS-13 gang member deported to a hellhole prison in El Salvador, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the Democrats fondly refer to as the “Maryland father,” have emerged.

It turns out that Garcia was not the model citizen and shining example of a family man as the Democrats would want you to believe. Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez, whom he married in 2019 while still waiting for his deportation proceedings, has requested two protective orders against him for alleged domestic abuse.

The first order was allegedly taken in 2020, closely followed by another in 2021, which was confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security.

“Kilmar Abrego Garcia had a history of violence and was not the upstanding “Maryland Man” the media has portrayed him as,” the DHS posted on X.

“According to court filings, Garcia’s wife sought a domestic violence restraining order against him, claiming he punched, scratched, and ripped off her shirt, among other harm.”

In 2021, the court granted the protective order directing Garcia to vacate his wife’s residence after determining that he had “punched and scratched” and “ripped off the shirt, grabbed, and bruised” her. 

The protective order also prohibited Garcia from entering the residence, contacting, or attempting to contact his wife. The alleged MS-13 gang member was also prohibited from contacting his wife’s mother or entering her residence.

In December 2022, Garcia was also stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) while transporting seven individuals from Texas to Maryland in a car without a valid driver’s license. According to The Tennessee Star, an officer at the scene reported that the El Salvador native was involved in human trafficking. 

The outlet cited two sources disclosing that THP officers discovered that either Garcia or one of the individuals being transported was on the terror watch list. They contacted the FBI under former Director Christopher Wray and were instructed to take pictures of the eight individuals.

“Once the photographs were captured, this source told The Star that the FBI requested THP release all eight individuals and that the THP officers complied with this request,” the Tennessee Star reported.

Meanwhile, as Democrats continue to push for Garcia’s return to the U.S., El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has ruled out smuggling him back to the country.

“I don’t have the power to return him to the United States. How could I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course, I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” President Buleke said.

Additionally, Democrats’ trip to El Salvador to show solidarity with the alleged MS-13 gang member ended in a disaster after they were denied access to the high-security prison. The trip was clearly an insult to the people of El Salvador by politicians who seemingly believe they are above the laws of any country.

The group, led by Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, had vowed to free the “Maryland Father,” illegally “kidnapped” and deported by the Trump administration.

Nonetheless, Garcia’s immigration status is not in dispute, as he was born in El Salvador and entered the United States illegally in 2011 at the age of 16.

In 2019, he was “arrested in the company of other ranking gang members,” and “evidence show[ed] that [Abrego Garcia] is a verified member of MS-13,” according to a DHS filing.

A judge granted him a “withholding of removal” order, stating that he could not be deported to El Salvador for safety concerns due to alleged gang threats, but suggesting that he could be deported to a safe third country. 

Since then, El Salvador has become one of the most peaceful countries in the Western Hemisphere, after President Nayib Bukele cleared all the gangs from the streets.

Maryland Senator Flies to El Salvador to Beg for Criminal To Bring Back to US

If the past 10 years hasn’t been enough to convince people that Democrat politicians have literally lost their minds and their souls, then the latest from Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen may do the trick. At issue is a man the media insists on describing only as a “Maryland man.” He is not merely, or even really, a “Maryland man.”

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvador citizen who has been in the US illegally for years before being deported back to El Salvador by the Trump administration. Why was he deported? Because he was here illegally, but also because two immigration courts agreed with border officials that he was part of the infamous international and violent MS-13 gang. 

Over the past few weeks the Trump administration and the activist federal courts have been tussling over Garcia. Federal courts have tried to stop the Trump administration from deporting foreign aliens, including Garcia. Some claim Garcia was here “legally” although he’s an illegal (no, it can’t be made to make sense), and judge James Boasberg is hopping mad that the executive branch did not obey his probably-extra-legal order to turn planes around in mid-air and bring illegals back to the U.S. 

Whatever the true details of this fine legal wrangling, it boils down to this: The Democrats and the courts are moving heaven and earth to bring back to the U.S. an El Salvadoran man who is in El Salvador. There isn’t any way to look at this and come up with any legal or moral framework that makes sense. 

In comes Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, whose heart so bleeds for Garcia that he, Van Hollen, got on a plane to El Salvador in hopes of talking the country’s president into releasing Garcia back to the United States. Yes, really. 

You’ve got to hand it to Van Hollen; he has chutzpah. Here he is in front of microphones demanding that El Salvador’s president Naybi Bukele give Garcia, an El Salvador citizen, to him to take back to the U.S.!

El Salvador, in more diplomatic language, told the senator to piss off. 

Let’s see what the American public had to say on X. 

This one’s brutal and funny.
