Mexico and other Central American countries should unite and attack any country aiding and abetting the domestic terrorists who have taken our government hostage and are destroying it. They should go in and terminate the concentration camp terrorists, and document the crimes being committed there.
Then free the kidnapped humans and help relocate them to a safe country for political asylum. Every true news organization should run the video and interviews of these victims round the clock, so the world SEES what the fascists have done.
So the US is paying $56 a day to El Salvador to hold each of the 300 for a year, or $20,000 a year. Of course the jail in El Salvador will do better if they die. Who would know?
We in Europe are opened mouthed at what appears from here to be a total disregard for legal systems and US constitution. Is it really as bad as the bonkers clips we see on sm and news? Is US sliding rapidly into tyranny? How are people resisting, there are 350 million population.How can this happen?
We’re not sliding, we are there. Putin is hitler and Trump is his dancing monkey. The world needs a hero who will take Putin and Orban out. Then clear out the domestic terrorists who are literally destroying our government.
Yes, it is really this bad. We have been taken over by actual fascists. Unfortunately millions of us don't understand this because they only watch rightwing agitprop TV. And the regular media has been useless so far.
We in the West have been too comfortable in believing that the usual norms that support democracy and fairness will always prevail. How quickly things change
Yes, it's a horrible shock. These rightwing crazies have been quietly working towards this for years - since before Trump. But we thought our system was resilient enough to survive We were wrong.
And yes, people are resisting. Call up any recent Rachel Maddow show for footage. Keep in mind we have 50 states spread out over 3.8M sq. mi. We have protests in all 50 state capitols and in DC. Why we haven’t had 1M people in DC yet I don’t know. Asked my two Senators that today, in fact.
According to Senator Bernie Moreno's staffer with whom I just spoke, El Salvador is taking these prisoners out of the goodness of their hearts. They are not charging us a dime.
For what it's worth Senator Moreno has the rudest most combative staffers I have ever dealt with.
Why follow the rules now, this administration continues to ice skate over the constitution and rule of law and everyone sits back being “concerned” yet do nothing to hold them accountable
Our government has fallen. We need other democracy countries to help us and those being kidnapped and tortured. They need to attack countries who are helping the terrorists in the White House and expose then free the concentration camp detainees. Democracy dies in darkness.
An even better question: Under what authority are they being held?
They aren't prisoners of war. Per habeas corpus, they cannot be prisoners under US jurisdiction. This is starting to look like a crime against humanity is underway.
Senator Bernie Moreno's staffer just yelled at me that they are all proven to be members of two different gangs. She insists that they are criminals and she's just going to write down for the senator that I want all criminals released on to the streets.
On a more serious note... so? That's not how this works. They can't just disappear criminals into a legal black hole in El Salvador. The right of habeas corpus applies to all in US custody... and if they're not in US custody, then why are we paying to enslave them?
She claims the AG has a right to ignore that and make an independent decision.
When I asked if they could do that for citizens, she said I was crazy that that would never happen, and I should point her to a story where a citizen has had their rights revoked like that.
There are three videographers leading the line of prisoners. More in other location, I’m sure. It’s for the next presidential campaign, you can be sure. They did this last time around too - used public tax dollars to make campaign video footage.
I’m guessing someone needs to find out how this El Salvador deal can even be a consideration, without Congress approving omit. This asinine 47th needs to remember he is not the King of the World, there are laws, and a Constitution here to go by in America. #RemoveTrumpNow

Excuse me, but couldn't we have done it here for less?
They just appropriated #ICE $10 BILLION more, with the Schumer Democrats’ approval. 😡

This "tough on crime" facade of the [formerly] GOP is worn extremely thin.
