Concentration camps in El Salvador, with extrajudicial extradition and no due process?

Or, less dramatic, a drive for national autarky. A very much dirigiste economy. (Cf. massive tariffs). A drive towards a one-party state without a rule of law - explicitly punishing people with dissenting viewpoints to the point of economic exclusion. (Columbia. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Garrison & Wharton. Jenner & Block).

Let's call a spade a spade, shall we?

"While it is true that many of the TdA members removed under the AEA do not have criminal records in the United States, that is because they have only been in the United States for a short period of time."

That's the official position of the US government, in a court filing - that some of those deported did not have a criminal record.

(Even their membership in the org is an assertion/allegation, not one that's been proven in court.)


I don't object to jailing people, or sending them back. I do, very much, object to lack of due process or recourse.

Which is a fundamental element of, at the very least, autocracies.
