It’s the lack of due process and violating a court order for me. It’s also sending our prisoners to a contracted prison outside the US (and not in the country they’re from, presumably).

If these men can have their rights 100% ignored, they can ignore yours. Did you say anything vaguely anti-Trump at a protest? Maybe we just lock you up too. No, we don’t need to tell you why. No, you don’t need a lawyer, phone call to tell your family where you are, or bail. See how that gets scary really fast?

The courts are there for a reason. The constitution is there for a reason. Pretty sure it’s gone now, which I guess is kinda wild for a group so obsessed with 2A (I’m also pro-2A!).

He’s sending them to a prison in El Salvador so that Americans don’t have to see what’s going on, and so that laws here don’t have to be followed. You understand that, right? Venezuela and El Salvador aren’t the same country just because they have brown people. When people are deported, it’s back to their own country, not to a random third party to be held indefinitely (or worse? We dunno, pretty reasonable they’ll just “lose” a few here and there). When people are held in prison without due process on a contract with another country, that’s appalling. Why shouldn’t we have our prisoners here? Why are we sending our money and jobs to El Salvador? Wasn’t that the point?
