The title here is very misleading (probably for clicks). Both his supporters and the media still onoe where he is... in a Detention Facility in Louisiana.
They didn't at first... and if it hadn't gotten so much attention, who's to say what could have happened?
People’s whereabouts being uncertain just after detention is simply standard bureaucracy. It certainly doesn’t rise to the level of being disappeared.
Not the first time nor the last headlines will lie.
Disappeared means not knowing what happened to someone. We know what happened here. This is egregious, but not for why they say it is.
Would you prefer “attempted disappearing” (since they weren’t successful?
No, because they didn’t attempt to disappear him.
They abducted Khalil, took him to an ICE detention center in New York City, then moved him to a different, undisclosed facility. For all of Sunday, Khalil’s wife and lawyer could not locate him; he had effectively been disappeared. Only yesterday did they finally discover his whereabouts: a privately owned ICE detention center flagged by human rights organization for severe medical neglect and both physical and sexual assault.
For a full day, he had been disappeared.
They blasted it on the WhiteHouse.gov page. It wasn't even an attempted disappearing. It was a brag... so, to answer your question: No.
Media organizations seem to have a problem reporting accurately. Either it's this fluffy-assed senationalization to get clicks, or it's a false equivocation or downplaying like with "resembling a Nazi salute" when reporting on Musk. Reporters and their publications have become so weak-willed. Journalism is dying a hard death.
Fill in the blanks:
First they came for the activists, and I __ speak out.
That aside, I have to say, this author is savage.
