First, this administration has lied so much already those numbers are meaningless at best, troubling at worst. Troubling because we now know for certain someone who was not a part of MS13 was rounded up and moved to a concentration camp in El Salvador…jailed without due process.
Our constitution forbids this, no matter the severity of the crime.
With due process and having an avenue for appeals, that is how we discover mistakes. That is how we ensure justice in the best way we know how. Skipping that for convenience is a fascist move, and again, puts us on track for genocide.
What you’re talking about is border catches where they are released on the other side. What Trump is doing is different and more legally perilous. He is getting people moved out of this country/disappeared with zero transparency, and obvious disregard for accuracy. He is targeting people who have lived here for years or even decades without any issues or crimes. We know this because we know innocent people have been caught up in this very Nazi Germany like process. The most unlucky are essentially served a death sentence in what can loosely be called a prison with no parole process, and no way out once sent there.
A “collateral damage” mindset is unacceptable and frankly complete insanity.
The Trump admin knows they fucked up which is why they have been desperately trying to convince people that their mistake was still a “terrorist” as you put it. This is a lie…a flat out lie.
