America has gone full nazi at this point,

  • you have the SS, i mean ICE police
  • you have Auschwitz camp in another country, I mean el Salvador
  • courts have no power anymore, supreme court works for trump
  • congress is in on it
  • the richest guy in the world is making nazi salutes

what else is there ? They will even make a deal with russia to divide ukraine, just like stalin and hitler did with poland.

And the complete absurdity of Trump's SCOTUS voting 9-0 for returning him home and Trump just said nah...

Not just that, his press secretary claimed that the supreme court voted in their favor! I know they lie blatantly all the time but this was surprising even for them.

Almost like he’s never had a consequence and…he’s actually right on this one. No one will do anything about it.

Aliens will come here and ask “oh so you all bow to them because they can breathe acid and are resistant to small arms fire?” and we’ll look them in their faces and say “no, they’re actually pretty average and some are shockingly unhealthy and weak. Pretty much all their power is comes directly from what we give them for money, as they aren’t even particularly clever. We just…I dunno, can’t? I guess?”

It's been lost in the excitement, but before the presidency, one of the concerns about a second Donald Trump presidency was that the US supreme court had ruled, not long prior, that the President just has immunity against criminal prosecution for some things.

It would hardly be a stretch to push that into no-one can do anything about it, because it's legally permissable, as long as he does it officially.

Not a lawyer, let alone an American Federal one, but I am rather curious if that immunity could extend to just outright ignoring parts of the legal system. Contempt of Court might well be unenforceable because of it, so the court system is basically toothless where the presidency is concerned.

They literally had lunch with him and cleaned him up for the meeting. They just don't want to have to admit they'd have to send a bunch of people back

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

US Senator apparently went there and was refused entry and everything.

Republican fanboys are calling it a political stunt.

It wouldn't be anything if they didn't fuck up to begin with.

I assume he can't come back because he's dead

[–] T156@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Likely, since he was fleeing El Salvador before he was deported back there.

The only other option is he was literally sold as a slave

How does this not turn his entire nation on him when the message is literally a loud and clear “this could be you and you'd have zero recourse”

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Because thats the messaging being sent to you. Social media has allowed propaganda to be tailored to the individual. CECOT isn't going viral on Truth Social.

Did you know Mark Zuckerberg implemented censors for China? Apparently every post has a "viritality counter". When any video got over 10,000 views it would be reviewed by an Editor in Chief. Facebook is doing this.

Here's the source if anyone want's to see. We're in 1984. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZzxxLqWKOE

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago

Those who are able to fight already do so, those who're perceptive to fascist' propaganda are already brainwashed, and the media is broken. Meanwhile too many can't fight because they're already suffering too much from a broken, suppressive economy and decisions made by disconnected leaders in the decades before. It's a fascist takeover almost by the book, and now anyone who wasn't interested in history enough get their answer for "how could it even happen back then" first hand.

It's not a slave labor camp. It's a concentration camp. That dude is probably dead now. Call your representatives ASAP if you live in the US. Trump must be deposed and arrested. Same with his fucking Goebbels wannabe, Pam Bondi, and Propaganda Barbie the second.

What do you see in this satellite photo of CECOT?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

I don't think it's a killing place. A place like CECOT which is purpose built, if they needed a secret killing place that was overflowing with that much blood, then they would need a way to dispose of the bodies on an industrial scale. The most likely method would be a crematorium disguised as a trash incinerator. It would have to be close to the killing place because moving bodies is risky and labor intensive. A crematorium or incinerator would have a very obvious smoke stack and would have some gas infrastructure nearby, like a gas line with bleed vents, a tanker-sized LNG tank, and/or above ground valve control areas.look for something like that nearby.

It's possible that the bodies could be getting chemically dissolved or fed into a grinder and destined for the wastewater treatment plant which is southwest of the prison alongside the access road.

But those are expensive and labor-intensive, respectively.

If you think you see an industrial amount of blood, you gotta think about what the rest of the logistics chain looks like too.

As of last year, rights groups report at least 261 people had died at the facility: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/el-salvadors-prisons-deaths-anti-gang-crackdown-rcna161327

People die there from violence, lack of medical care, and torture. We know hundreds of people are dying there. They have to be doing something with the bodies.

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Chemical dissolution isn't that intensive. The cartel famously had a guy who just him and his assistant were able to dissolve hundreds of bodies over years in a small hideout in a construction site.

Not sure... Care to elaborate?

EDIT: I'm looking at someone who did a deep dive on this. I don't know what to say, I hope it's not that, but it could be...

We already know that hundreds of people have died at that and other facilities like it:

https://apnews.com/article/bukele-el-salvador-gang-crackdown-prison-deaths-9d14cbb1ea35175d75d007f6faade61f

And those are just the ones rights groups know about.

Just think about it. You throw people in there in horrendously overcrowded conditions and explicitly tell them that they will never be released. Have you seen the photos? Dozens of people in big open cages, very few guards to keep an eye on them. The prisoners in there have nothing to lose. What exactly is the punishment if one prisoner kills another? Do you think a guard is going to be able to intervene in time if one inmate decides to strangle another? Do you think the guards that work at a place that imprison people for life without trial even give a damn?

Just use some common sense. How could such a facility end up anything but a blood bath? That is the entire point of a concentration camp like this. It's a way for the state to mass execute people with plausible deniability. You deliberately create the conditions where mass death is inevitable and then blame the prisoners when the inevitable happens.

that would be: a lot of blood

What's worse is the Supreme Court ruled they had to make an effort to get him back essentially and the Trump admin just straight up lied about the result in a recent recorded video.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The majority of these people who were kidnapped by masked men in unmarked vehicles had no criminal record

[–] TTom0602@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Yes, and even people with a criminal record don't deserve to be locked up forever and to be abused.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

"no reason in particular" I really dislike because the reason is racism. He was too Latino for the racist state.

Edit: nvm, the point implied that he can't return because he is dead.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Last year or so a provenly innocent man was executed in the United States for a murder even the lead prosecutor on the case thought he was innocent and worked to get his own conviction overturned.

I am aware. Obama was called the deporter in chief at one point. The main thing is that it was also democrats trying to prove that they were 'tough' to conservatives in the same way Bill Clinton tried to do that in the 90s.

It never worked. They will always be seen as the party of pansies. Netenyahu and fascists in general love Trump far more because even though the democrats kiss Israeli and corporate ass as much as Republicans, the republican rhetoric is much stronger.

Will you stop posting shit claiming he was accidentally deported? He was deported intentionally. The government lawyer who argued in court that the government had deported Garcia by mistake has since been fired. Stephen Miller himself said that "There was no mistake". They are deporting whoever they can get their hands on.

[–] elrecoal19_1@lemmy.world 85 points 2 days ago (6 children)

He wasn't deported, he was kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp.

The lights are on 24/7 there. Bright florescent lights. I imagine at Dachau you might be able to escape in sleep occasionally.

[–] Nangijala 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If I remember correctly they also don't get even a bedsheet. They just sleep directly on the metal.

I remember hearing about this prison awhile back and it genuinely sounds like hell. I have very little compassion for rapists and murderers, but even they don't deserve to live like that. I cannot imagine what it must do to your psyche.

If first you enter that prison, that is it. The president of that country is very adamant that no one is released, if I remember correctly.

Fucking terrifying to think someone who did nothing at all could end up in there, but there is probably more than one of those in there.

Edit, I found this video that touches on the issue. It is very interesting.

Slave labor?

They are kept in pens for 23.5 hours a day. I don't think they're getting any labor out of them. It's a death camp.
