    I was wondering about that. Like these people are being deported, but instead they’re just in a gulag for how long… Are they actually being repatriated to their country of origin?

      for how long…

      The rest of their lives…

      I was being serious, they’ve never released a prisoner from there.

      And they arrest so many people that even in the worst conditions they shouldn’t be dying fast enough to make room.

      It’s not a gulag, it’s a straight up death camp.

      It’s not going to take long before people start realize ICE grabbing you means certain death, and that at that point they legitimately have nothing to lose and start reacting appropriately when they’re grabbed.

      Most of the people we’ve (the US) sent there have not been “deported” and cannot be repatriated because they were never citizens of El Salvador. Lots were apparently Venezuelan, I guess, but I don’t really know how solid of a claim even that is because it really sounds like ICE has been instructed to just grab any brown people with tattoos when they go out on their raids. The people that have been forcibly removed from the US and human trafficked into El Salvador have been kidnapped and exiled, effectively given a lifetime sentence (however short that may be) in a foreign concentration camp without any due process or means for recourse.

      This shit’s fucked.
