Saw the ABC evening news tonight and they talked about the detention centers in El Salvador

Seeing those pictures of those detainees in El Salvador makes me nauseous. And then I find out a bigger majority of them are innocent and caught up in a stupid talking point bs.

That said, they are not detention centers but concentration camps. And we need to refer to that name from now on.

Yes, in looking at the detainees I am reminded of the Nazi concentration camps the way they shaved the Jews and forced to sleep many to a bed. Will we be remembered for this as well.

Isn't this against international law? One country should not be able to pay another country to jail their citizens! There's got to be something bigger than the supreme Court to step in on this in my opinion

CBS is the second.

I hope they don’t back down from reporting the truth.
