This lawless administration has already admitted to putting innocent men in a torture prison. Our felon president was convicted of more serious crimes than anyone they sent to El Salvador to rot.

The only word to describe these actions is evil.

“Land of the free”

Deportation means returning people to the country they entered from, or their home country.

Forcibly sending people against their will to a country they've never been to in order to profit from their labor is a well understood activity that is traditionally known by another name.

Horrible, horrible. People are not products.

No, they are corporate assets. /s

It's cruel, it's bad for businesses that need their labor, and the chances for mistakes and abuse of power, which have already happened, are large.

Those poor millionaires won’t have people dumping labour costs anymore :(

Now, in combination with tariffs, they can hire college-educated and debt-addled 20-somethings to do the job for just 10x the salary. It's better that they do this than start a family or focus on career building, apparently.

Instead they can pass the more expensive labor costs for less product onto American consumers.

Businesses that rely on illegal labor should struggle, and go out of business.

I know Nazi comparisons have gotten a bit tired, but the language reminds me of how concentration camps were planned and run. It was also talked about like an industrial process.
