Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that another 10 people have been sent to El Salvador amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

      thank you!
      i’m so sick of people saying “deported” to this place too… it’s not deportation to send someone to a life/death sentence in a concentration camp, even if it’s in another country…

      the nazis loved euphemisms too…

      Shit, this perpetual foreigner had better watch out for his own party.

      One minor slip up and his Hispanic ass will be deported by Trump’s racist border czar.

      He doesn’t have the same SS protection as the president and VP have does he?

      (yes the SS is intentional as opposed to USSS)

      Agreed.

      Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

      Yeah, he’s an shameless opportunist, like every Republican on this train.

      He positioned himself as a moderate for most of his career and was effectively a Never Trumper, before he kissed the ring, so we know he’ll betray any principle he has to get close to power.

        This is how someone with a background of being bullied behaves, with an intense need to overcompensate when “in” with his would-be bullies.

    Good job, Democrats. We know Republicans were pieces of shit, but the reason Democrats’ polling is in the toilet is because of stuff like this.

    “These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign Nation, and their future is up to President B and his Government. They will never threaten or menace our Citizens again!” the president added.

    That asshole is just laying the groundwork for why he can “disappear” people and not bring them back. Maybe once they start disappearing white people the lazy American public will finally wake up. Of course by then it’ll be too late.

        Yup.

        Some reactionary asshole I know was saying that there are a lot of people incorrectly repeating that the “wrong people” are getting deported.

        Despite the court records being absolutely clear that this is illegal (and we shouldn’t be sending people to slave torture camps regardless of what they did).

        Yeah. Plenty of Germans didn’t “wake up” even when their Jewish friends and neighbours were being abducted and sent to concentration camps. 'Murrica is no different.

      And the proof that these people are “barbarians” who “menace our citizens” is that the government kidnapped them and trafficked them into permanent imprisonment in El Salvador. That’s the same amount of proof they’ll produce when they do it to you. It could happen today, and there would be no chance to contact friends and family, or to argue your innocence. Because there has been no due process, and no proof or even accusation of any crime, we have to assume that all of these people sent to prison in El Salvador are innocent, just as you would be.

          There is no due process and a lot of these people can’t be truly said to be illegal or not because they are being snatched and dissappeared before a trial. And these aren’t “deportations” if they are not being taken back to their country of origin. They are encarcerated. Group think? You’re part of the group think buying the mainstream narrative that these are legal, transparent and above board. Fucking moron.

            He knows. Every argument you say to him, he knows. He’s not arguing from a place of “I think I’m right” or even “I’m a dumbass with dumbass views” he’s arguing just to make others upset and muddy the waters.

            CECOT was created for the purpose of a large-scale gang crackdown in El Salvador and it has served its purpose extremely well so far. The illegals sent there are gang members. Gang members sent to a maximum security prison made specifically for those kinds of people. Seems more than reasonable to me.

              These are all lies. There is absolutely no evidence these people are gang members. Why do you believe lies told to you by brazen liars who we’ve known were liars for years?

              Or is it that you just pretend to believe them because you’re scum who believes certain classes of people just deserve to be sent to a foreign torture prison?

                I believe the vast US surveillance system has way more knowledge about people they’ve probably had under the radar for God knows how long than biased individuals and media. I trust them over the “everything done during the Trump admin is a bad thing” group.

                  Then you are a gullible fool. The president and his flunkies provably lie to us constantly, and they have pointedly refused to provide evidence of wrongdoing in these cases. It’s extremely obvious they have none.

                  I wonder if you’ll feel differently when they come for you or someone you care about? Or will you go on thinking “Big Brother knows best… guess grandma was a terrorist all along…”

                  If there’s a silver lining about current events it’s people openly revealing that they would have cheered as the SS rounded up their neighbors. Shame on you.
