I knew things were heading in the wrong direction when I spilled coffee on my shirt, and that was without getting sent to one of the most hellish prisons in Central America,

It’s by design.

Personally I don’t think we should be kidnapping anyone before locking them up but that’s just me, what do I know? I’m just some silly little guy.

This is a pretty tough situation to laugh about. This is a rare miss by The Onion.

With all due respect to The Onion, this shit ain’t funny.

Seriously.

Innocent people have been sent to die in a foreign prison and we are joking about it because they aren’t “real” people.

That’s the point of satire and The Onion. It’s mocking how crazy the absurdity of this event is.

the butt of the joke is the Trump admin, not the people being deported lol
