Lex Luthor is basically a more realistic depiction of the hero character from an Ayn Rand novel, so this caricature is pretty close to the source material.

The superintendent of the Winooski School District was recently detained by immigration authorities, according to an announcement from district officials.
Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria was held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection while returning to the United States from a trip to Nicaragua to visit family, a letter sent to media members on Tuesday states.
Chavarria, who is a naturalized United States citizen, was born at a refugee camp in Nicaragua. Several members of his family recently self-deported back to the country after living in the United States.
During the interrogation, Chavarria said the unidentified individuals attempted to threaten and manipulate him into giving them access to his professional devices, containing information about students in the Winooski School District.
“I was threatened with being referred to the FBI. The FBI was mentioned multiple times," Chavarria said. "They also threatened to stain my record so I would never get a job again. They also threatened with an extended detention if I didn’t give them the passwords to the student information or to my district files."
A brother is torn from his sister. A father arrives for his immigration hearing with his family, only to find that they will be leaving without him. A woman, seemingly relieved after emerging from her hearing, finds that her life is about to change when she is apprehended by federal officials waiting just outside the door.
These are just some of the moments that happened on a single day in the Jacob K Javits federal building at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City, the largest federal immigration courthouse in Manhattan.
