Why is the US sending anyone to a country whose prisons are known to commit

human rights violations? Deporting criminals is one thing, but deport them to wherever they came from. What right do we have to send people to foreign prisons where they have no rights whatsoever?

This way, they have "plausible deniability" for any abuses. So much better to outsource the concentration camps, dontchaknow.

steroids. So when the dictator decides to send ameicans to death camps in another country it's done. At least that is what I'm witnessing so far.

Frickin devil incarnate loves to see people suffer.

Lulz is a synonym for Schadenfreude and means "lol derived from other's suffering". Osama, on WTC: I did it for teh lulz!

Trump is sending people to El Salvador, most of whom haven't been convicted of anything. For how long are they supposed to be kept in the prison? They have no term to serve, yet they are being kept in prison indefinitely? As long as Trump pays?

for months or years. Don't get me wrong; Trump is a monster. But complacency about our domestic system makes his current actions possible.
