Summary
Trump expressed support for sending American citizens to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, praising President Bukele’s tough-on-crime stance.
The U.S. already deported 238 Venezuelans there under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, despite federal judges calling the transfers unlawful and ordering returns.
Trump said he’d be “honored” to send repeat U.S. offenders abroad if legal. Critics, including judges and rights advocates, condemned the plan as unconstitutional and authoritarian.
Legal experts warn no U.S. law permits outsourcing American incarceration, raising serious due process and human rights concerns.
It begins (not really, I mean it began a long time ago ((couple months)))
… if he can send people to black sites that are non citizen without due process, what’s to stop him from sending citizens…
We’ve been sending people off to legal black holes for torture and execution all over the world and calling it “extraordinary rendition” for a few decades now, actually
Has everyone forgotten about Guantanamo? There are probably people there still who just got caught up in “911” sweeps for all we know. Even if they say they’ve moved or transferred all of them.
And this is why you speak up for overall human rights when it doesn’t affect you. I mean beyond just “being a good person” reasoning.
They are expanding Gitmo, with a new 30,000 prisoner facility, which is almost 4 times larger than our current largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average. They are about to add a LOT of American Terrorists.
Gitmo currently holds about 120, and they are the 9/11 people you mentioned. .
We’re already expanding our own Balck Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It’s in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by…well, you get it.
I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I’ll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.
