Gulag. Concentration Camp. One step from the gas Chambers. And the orange turd is celebrating. Fascism comes at you so fast. And he's not a real fascist like previous strong men, who worked 24/7 to drive their agenda. He's golfing, because he's just a puppet for Christofascists & oligarchs. Sad.

It is absolutely illegal to send orisoners out of the Country. They will have no access to their legal council. No parole board. No ability to see their family. Their is no control over how they are being treated or the ability to have medical or mental health care. Unconstitutional!

Trump probably thinks concentration camps are great! They help people concentrate, right? Just like all those asylum seekers came out of mental asylums (according to him). The man can only understand literal meaning.

And when they are liberated and the mass graves are found... they will be called Death Camps. People will go to liberated US Death Camps and for generations talk about how what is happening now in the US must never occur again. We must end these US Death Camps NOW!

Yeah, no thanks to Left flavored authoritarians to replace the right flavored ones. I want my standard liberal democracy back, with a shitload of new guardrails and laws to make sure nothing like this *can* happen again. I want the America I was raised to believe existed. If Europe can do it we can.

We must STOP OUR TAX MONIES FROM FUNDING EL SALVADOR CONCENTRATION CAMPS! Saw an article saying California gives more in tax money to the Federal govt than we receive, & this author thinks it would be reasonable if California stopped sending them our $$$. BRING IT ON! No $ for felonious purposes!!!

There is no hiding it. Purposes of the Camp System - To incarcerate for indefinite amounts of time people perceived to be a security threat. - To eliminate individuals and small, targeted groups of individuals away from the public and judicial review. - To exploit forced labor of the prisoners

American Exceptionalism at its best. 🤮 I know people against this are going to rallies and such, but at what point will they learn they have to get violent for any change? The gov't doesn't care about their marches when they hold all the power.

But you might be next someday. Trump Regime is sending Latino people including permanent residents & innocent asylum seekers to El Salvador w/o any charges. Hitler didn’t send Jews to the concentration camp from the beginning. No one knows who’s next.

I'm a Canadian living in Canada. I left the US in 2022 because I knew where this was all heading. I have no desire to return, live, or work in the States going forward, and have surrendered my green card. American PR is a joke.

Where does the money come from to pay El Salvador for 'housing' the people we send them? Isn't Congress supposed to determine how we spend our money? Who is in charge of that oversight committee? The entire country deserves to know whether they support or oppose this program. On. The. Record.

I can't quite wrap my ahead around this either...they are not arrested nor sentenced nor deported...all of this is operating outside of the law...in other words...none of these people doing the "deporting" do not have the authority to do so...thus all is illegal...and what do we do to criminals..hmm

Please note that the concentration camps that the Germans ran were under German territorial and judicial control, at least in theory. Trump in that sense is worse than Hitler, he just dumps people in a foreign jail pit without an exit.

I have never felt so impotent to help right an obvious wrong! GOP senators and representatives, YOU have power on the other hand! PLEASE join a bipartisan effort to halt this travesty!!! 🙏 Senators McConnell, Cornyn, Murkowski, Collins, etc.

There doesn’t need to be gas chambers to be compared to Hitler. Watch a documentary on Nazi takeover and replace “Hitler” with Trump and “Jews” with “immigrant brown people first then whoever”. As.. “Trump (Hitler) ordered the removal of (Jews) immigrants first and then Americans to foreign gulags”.

And every Republican voter should be ashamed of themselves because it's not like they didn't see this coming because we Democrats warned them and tried to stop it The next step is 2026 we need the house back to at least have a say in how history remembers America.

Hundreds of thousands have died in Gaza since 10/7 at the behest of the US-armed and supported IOF. Are you two _complete_ ignoramuses?

you're half right but the conversation being held here is about trump and his trigger happy deportation department unfittingly labelled the ICE, not to discredit the fact that the Gaza genocide that has been happening isn't important but this is a completely different topic

I think Orange guy would gladly send some of the people that indicted him or served on the Jan 6 committee that investigated him to El Salvador with no trial whatsoever.

This is exactly right. Fight for your life. Take out some Nazi’s in the process. If they take you, you’ll never see freedom again anyway. You need to do your own “due process” at your front door, as the government no longer provides that right to you anymore.

Prisons and concentration camps are not the same. People aren't regularly being gassed to death just because of their background. Do these people even know their real history? Poland was basically a neutral country when Hitler's forces invaded the country.

Our country is also now giving a political litmus test to legal immigrants—if they don't accept the politics of some leaders in another country or our support for that country, they are being detained. Don't support Israel or, ironically, Christian Nationalism? You're can be disappeared.

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

The constitutional collapse has been on a slow roll since W. was irregularly installed in the aftermath of the 2000 election.

I’m sure it’s very easy to live in a middle class white suburb. I’ll be sure to tell my Tia who’s been living in fear, threatened by MS-13 for the last 3 decades in San Vicente that they are going to behead my cousins if they don’t pay extortion fees the rest of the world is “outraged”.

Remember former Rep Jackie Speier and what happened to her congressional delegation when they went to Guyana, without a military escort or security detail. I would really fear for their safety as it seems like all the thugs are now emboldened, with no holds barred

Exactly. This is NOT a prison. This is a concentration camp. And this country is once again okay with incarcerating its residents & citizens in concentration camps - so long as they are outside the actual US.

"The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You've got to build about five more places," Trump said to Bukele, an apparent reference to prison space that would be needed in El Salvador to house U.S. citizens. 1930-40’ History: First they built prisons in Poland, and then they built ovens.

MAGA’s aim for El Salvador is an attempt to accomplish the Madagascar Plan that the Nazis considered before they implemented the ‘Final Solution.’ They borrowed an evil idea from the Nazis and are trying to perfect it. They must be stopped.

Will repeat: From the U.S. Holocaust Museum: "What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process." Welp. (Quote/comment by Max Burns. 📌

I find this fascinating. Marketed to us, especially in the "Third World", as the best and greatest democracy in the world, and as an example to be followed, it has been interesting to watch all this madness unfold in real time.

Philippine–American War 1898. America used them then. (Used slightly differently..... To keep non-combatants out of fighting zones) Coincidentally British used them the same year in the Boer War... Sadly, diseases ripped through them and many lives lost. The Spanish invented them first.

During WW2, from 1942-46, there was an internment of Japanese Americans into 10 'Relocation Camps' (concentration camps). There were no crimes committed, they were considered security risks simply due to their heritage.

The US has centuries of genocide to atone for that was perpetrated against First Nations people in America. Sadly, there are too many horrors our government has committed. I couldn't stomach the president sitting in the White House gleefully bragging about sending anyone to concentration camps.

Isn't it amazing that these people have the nerve to act like they have any moral authority when it comes to condemning atrocities, while they protect and support the apartheid regime of Israel and its horrifying treatment of Palestinians?

There's more "There was no regard to the legal norms of arrest and imprisonment of a constitutional democracy" "The [early] purpose was to imprison and intimidate the leaders of political, social, and cultural movements that the Nazis perceived to be a threat to the survival of the regime"

Which is why I will continue to refer to them as concentration camps, because whatever the trumpies want to call them, that’s what they are. #ProveMeWrong
