Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

More proof that if you look too brown for Trump's liking, it's off to El Salvador for you. We need to start compiling a list of these people who were "mistakenly" deported and essentially sentenced to death with no due process or recourse.
This is no longer hyperbole. We are now living in a world where you could leave your house to pick up your kids from school or something and end up in a South American prison literally before your family even has enough time to realize you're gone, only to find that the only answer they're going to get from the US government and our legal system is "Too bad, so sad, we fucked up, sucks to be you. Next time try being less brown."
Remember, this started with deporting "the illegals". You know, rounding up the low-hanging-fruit that are sitting in prisons waiting for their trials, hearings, or whatever. Then Trump realized, "Hey, why stop there? Why not just go after everybody I don't like?".
And he's already talking about doing this to US citizens. Which means very soon, it's not just going to be the brown people. And by "very soon", I mean I fully expect a US citizen to end up in El Salvador by month's end. Probably white.
Dont be ridiculous
They won't be white
How confident are you in that statement?
The first one’s probably won’t be. But I don’t think it’s too far off. I expect the first ones to be some random non white people who commited some indefensible crimes, or at least are accused of doing so. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go for people with terrorism charges so the next batch can be accused of terrorism as well to make the leap seem smaller. That they now define vandalism against tesla as terrorism will just help murky the waters to make the life sentence without judge or jury seem more palatable than it is every step of the way.
