it's remarkable how quickly "tren de aragua" went from something i had never heard of to a crisis so urgent centuries-old safeguards of liberty and due practice had to be cast aside, even at the acknowledged cost of some innocents getting pressed into indefinite detention and enslavement.

Criminal gangs like Hamas, the Taliban, AL Qaeda and more conventional ones like the Mexican Mafia, Bloods, MS-13 and Tren de Aragua are fundamentally all the same from the perspective of evolutionary biology; they are antisocial group formations that occur under certain environmental pressures. 1/2

Examples of such pressure are US drug use, the massive flow of weapons that flow from the US to Mexico and beyond, due to the maladaptive interpretation of the 2nd amendment that lets the individual determine if they are fit to be armed, and the various American interventions in Latin America. 2/2
