Why are these questions not front and center in every news story about this travesty?

These men were not just deported, they've been incarcerated without trial in a brutalist megaprison.

What is the plan for them now? Are they awaiting trial? Where? Are they facing sentences? How long?

Because we live in a racist society. If they were rich white exploiters, then something would be going on. I can tell you that.

*shlorp shlorp* well you see *shlorp shlorp shlorp* these sorts of issues *shlorp* can be very divisive *being handed a cash loaf* and since one side believes this way and *wiping mouth* THAT side another we decided not to report at all at this time as the facts aren’t clear *receiving headpats*

Exactly. You can't "deport" someone into a prison. It would be extradition if it was legitimate or legal; this is neither.

Trump admin is normalizing the idea that undocumented immigrants have no rights whatsoever, not even human rights, and can be disappeared at will. They assume US citizens will believe none of this applies to them. Everyone got your documentation on you in case you get stopped in the street by ICE?

The rule of law is over in this country and I feel more and more insane every day that passes where no Democratic leaders acknowledge this fact with the gravity it deserves.

The way the entire story is framed--as investigative dispatch--only to involve no quotes or citations and be entirely first-person is kind of sick given what is witnessed

They are supposed to be all Tren de Aragua, but I doubt that very much. Sure there will be some gangsters among them, but I feel this is just a publicity stunt and they randomly rounded up a bunch of Venezuelan people with tats.

The oligarchs have captured the mainstream media. Independent sources news and analysis are small and increasingly rare. For how long they can hold out remains to be seen.

Because “news” organizations no longer exist in the US.

I keep wondering. Also there is a lawsuit about the AEA portion of this, but no suit over the whole scheme. Seems the whole scheme should be illegal.

Cruelty is MAGA’s love language

Because the news is far more complicit (energetic?) in the unraveling of American democracy than I could have imagined. Even after J6.

And forgive me if this has been determined, but do we even know if they're all Venezuelans?

The media calls them all Venezuelans for sensationalism and ease of writing, but the truth might be worse

Most of these men deported to Guantanamo do not have a criminal record this is just red meat for his Do or Die supporters I'm just wondering when will the people of this nation come together in all 50 states to send a message to Washington to protest billionaires telling us what we don't need 2 live

Good questions that need to be answered!

For real. I find myself wondering about that daily. Such a dereliction of duty.

It's called cowardice.
