That they weren’t aware of this — or they were and just didn’t care — before shipping people to an offshore gulag is just pure, concentrated evil. People need to go to prison for this.

Please don’t vote for anyone promising to jail anyone else, even Stephen Miller, even your worst enemies.
The reaction against fascism is often.. a different flavour of fascism.
The defendants were given due process, access to counsel, the fairest trial that the allies could muster.
Was OP saying that Miller should, if indicted, be detained pending his trial? Then I have no objection.
“Investigate and jail” sounds like a presumption of guilt.
The next dem candidate that says they'll put these people in prison for human trafficking should get every vote.
But we mustn’t forget that the purpose of this campaign is to terrorize ppl into not coming here. Deporting “innocent” immigrants to a foreign gulag, in the trump worldview, advances that goal.
Law enforcement abandoning their oaths to the Constitution, in full on collaboration mode within weeks

There were at times a "quota" of anti Communist agitators to send to the gulag. Sure, it wasn't written down anywhere, but the agents (usually of the proto-KGB but even local police or officials) might just grab someone to make their numbers.

Lawsuits and pressure need to be brought.
They should all be there until every last person we shipped to El Salvador is returned.

I’m still baffled as to why no one from T 1.0 went to jail. Maybe this time.
Muting.
Mediocrities are generally liars too. They always reach for this to excuse, justify and just explain away the truly mind mumbling stupid ish they do on the regular.
But it is part of a broader problem re law enforcement misuse of tattoos, etc. as evidence of gang membership - and unquestioned reliance on cops to opine about membership. Eg, https://digitalcommons.law.uw.edu/wlr/vol98/iss3/4/
Then brainwash people to believe it’s real
