This guy should get a chance to punch Stephen Miller in the face after all this is over.

How is deportation to an entirely unrelated country not a form of human trafficking?
it’s not deportation, this is a life sentence in another foreign torture prison… with no crime….
this is genocide, and he’s just one of thousands who was lucky enough to become a symbolNo, it’s arguably human trafficking because we’re paying the other country to keep him there.
i believe it would be human trafficking if they paid us to buy the people
Because our Supreme Court said so
Leave our friends & neighbors alone!
This man truly needs to try to get to Canada or Europe and claim asylum. The right have a massive hate boner for him because it pokes so many holes in the “we are only sending bad people there” line they always use.
Also we need to stop calling it deportation when its not that at all.
“we are only sending bad people there” line they always use.
Unfortunately that propaganda is working. Many non-Western immigrants still go to the US, unaware of the harassment that even tourists receive in airports. My cousin immigrated to the US and another one is going to follow. I warned my cousin to be careful, and he responded the usual “only illegals are getting arrested”. I was genuinely shocked that he hasn’t heard of even white Westerners getting accosted and detained for vague reasons. He was inversely shocked when I told him of these incidents.
A lot of Americans are unaware at how powerful and influential American media is in other countries. In my home country, US is always painted as greener pasture; almost spotless and clean unlike in our shithole country. But many of my compatriots living in the US admit that the country is overrated because of rampant homelessness, crime and lack of social welfare. Of course, the US is still miles ahead better than other developing countries, but the US it is not the pitch perfect country that it is portrayed to be by international media.
Inversely shocked? Like… nonplussed?
Also we need to stop calling it deportation when its not that at all.
The media continues to miss every opportunity to call out the fascists’ distortions of language. It’s infuriating to see how journalists unquestioningly buy into the propaganda, apparently without realizing what they’re doing.
They don’t miss it.
They intentionally sanewash all this bullshit.
If they don’t then they get sued for a billion dollars, then we get no news. It’s a pretty shitty situation all around.
Then fight the lawsuits. They’ll win because the lawsuits are bullshit. Everyone knows that but they would rather bend the knee than fight and that, more than anything, is why I hope they do go under.
Luckily they’re all backed by billionaire investors so they can afford to see the frivolous suits through. The self-censorship is something they do by design, not a response to any actual threat.
Couldn’t he just run to the nearest Canadian embassy and beg for help?
Wait what?
So he came back a minute ago and they tried to ship him off to Uganda?
Yeah, the courts said they couldn’t ship him back to El Salvador because he fled gang violence from there.
Just like he was blocked from being sent to El Salvador. I really hope this actually sticks (and at least he was brought back… Eventually)
Too late, dude is probably already on a plane for Uganda. I hope he got an airtag tattoo or something in the day and a half he was out of jail, so his family can find him…
Yup, “move fast and break things”, legal system style. Turns out if you throw someone on a plane and into a foreign prison before the court date even arrives, it’s actually really hard to get them back out, because now “it’s a state department issue”.
airtag tattoo
You mean GANG Tattoo. /s
When we finally end up rolling over these idiots in the streets, this dude is gonna be the first billionaire via lawsuit
There are way too many people scared of guns on our side, the left, for this to ever happen. In reality, the more heavily armed MAGA who’s culturally encouraged to own all kinds of firearms, and could openly train with them without being seen as gun nuts, will roll us over.
Biggest issue I see on here daily is that no one seems to take it serious enough. People seem to have already given up, and won’t realize what’s at stake here.
This attitude is too little too late, and we should have been encouraging gun ownership on the Left for the past 30 years to ensure deterrence.
The right has completely won not only the culture war, but have also gained influence from Christian fascism to resurge globally. Now you have more bible-thumping dipshits who welcome a Handmaids Tale level of control, with Taliban-like religious laws circumventing lifestyle freedoms such as LGBTQ rights.
They won’t realize what’s at stake here because they are all pathetic pacifists losers who we’ve allowed to have a voice for too long, and are unwilling to protect vulnerable people with promises of violent disproportionate responses.
It’s almost like people forgot black & LGBTQ Civil Rights wasn’t won with sunshine, rainbows and politely asking for equity.
This is why you will continue to read posts where someone is encouraging anyone else with a mental illness to commit violence for them, i.e. “Someone should do something about this” or “if only someone could (imply killing person here)” type shit.
I want to be scared of that, but if they’re dumb enough to believe the things they do, im pretty confident we’ll handle it.
Caveat is that I live in Texas, and left or right never meant shit for guns. We’ll be there and we’ll show up.
This literally isn’t deportation.
It’s extradition.EDIT
Humiliating. It’s actually extraordinary rendition, which I confused with extradition. In my defense, I am extremely stupid.But! My point stands.
Don’t let fascists call this deportation.
The proper term is (extraordinary) rendition, but I think human trafficking works as well.
extradition /ĕk″strə-dĭsh′ən/ noun
The surrender of an individual by one nation or state to another nation or state where that individual is sought for trial or punishment for the commission of a crime.
The surrender or delivery of an alleged criminal by one State or sovereignty to another having jurisdiction to try charge.
A formal process by which a criminal suspect held by one government is handed over to another government for trial or, if the suspect has already been tried and found guilty, to serve his or her sentence.
This is not extradition.
Extradition implies that a crime was committed in the destination country that the accused is going to face a trial for.
It’s not even that. It’s exile.
