In 2022, the US State Dept issued a report on Rwanda. This extract reads as no worse than the conditions many Americans are now living under. I'd advise non-white friends with World Cup tickets to avoid the US. It's just too risky, and the pretence that ICE mistakes can't be rectified is chilling.

I hope someone is keeping track of all the horrific things that trump & his Gestapo Admin are doing, including deaths caused by all the firings from multiple government agencies. We’re sick of hearing about atrocities every day, & we deserve to have the people responsible for them HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

The rest of the men sent to CECOT are still there, with no clue if anyone knows where they are or if they will ever get out. Share that photo everyone, and tell the world that this is Republican "governance" at work.

Look at those guards. If you are a decent person, you have to wonder how they can torture human beings like this. No different to them than pulling the legs off a grasshopper. This is the character of republicans. They will hurt anyone or anything in any way without guilt or remorse.

34-felon will enjoy this. I wish this was hyperbole, but it's serious. Malignant narcissists enjoy inflicting pain on others. Especially those that are not sufficiently subservient.

Guards in CECOT pictures look so familiar. Why is that? Oh, wait. ICE "agents" running around covering their faces and ignoring the law. That's right.

So much shame they’ve brought onto the USA —the people around the world we’ve simply turned our backs on to supplement an already unconscionably wealthy few. 😞 I look forward to the revolving door of the abusers’ due process. Debt elimination via PPV. 🏆

As El Salvador tells the United Nations that the US inmates are still under US subjugation, not under El Salvador US paid $6Milion to El Salvador Trump lied when he said he couldn't tell El Salvador what to do with the men sent to CECOT We all knew it was a lie, but no one called him out on it

This is on Trump thug who had deliberately had him sent to that prison despite orders from the Fed judge not to do so so Trump needs to be accountable for his suffering as well as all the others sent there as well who were innocent people etc

I hope that when all this is resolved and people are released and returned to their rightful homes and families they are all adequately compensated from money recovered from Trump’s wealth and properties and those of everyone else who aided and abetted him. Bankrupt the lot of them and lock them up.

If anyone says "but they were illegally here" should have their heads examined. Regardless of alleged legal status this is not how we should be treating people.

Sure, tough prison, but don't they get regular photo-op teases from ICE Barbie? Kind of like the USO shows a la Apocalypse Now...

When you violate someone else's humanity for a dollar or loave of bread, it's only a matter of time that you smash your own humanity by your own hand.

No surprise. This was going on before the US was sending people there. I understand El Salvadorans now enjoy security and safety in the streets. But by this point there's got to be some due process. Bad karma for us all. And people in the US cheer this.

omgod. We are the Nazi's. When they attack the voting we will only have revolution as set forth by the founding fathers as per solution to the destroying of all that once made America great.

Of course and why they should be returned - This Regime has made fictitious records if there is any record of these missing or disappeared Men, who are either hardworking Migrants undocumented migrants that were close to receiving their immigration status - or they were both. They were hunted by ICE

If America wasn’t broken, most citizens of this once-great country would demand Trump’s impeachment—just like we should have when we found out Bush was torturing prisoners in Abu Ghraib and black sites around the world.

WTF?! THIS PRISON VIOLATES OUR 8TH AMENDMENT PROHIBITION AGAINST CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT. OUR GOVT HAS NO RIGHT TO DISAPPEAR PEOPLE WITHOUT DUE PROCESS AND SEND THEM THERE WITH NO RETURN. THIS IS WHAT FASCISTS DO.

Never ever ever forget that the so called President of 🇺🇸 allowed the President of El Salvador to sit in the Oval Office, smile, shake hands & then declare “how could I smuggle a terrorist into 🇺🇸”. To all those tortured, vanished & stripped of dignity.. he facilitated it all. Scumbag.

They should have NEVER EVER been sent out of the USA to begin with. And our government has the money to build effing dentention centers in 8 days, they can build prisons to house the people that are already incarcinarated here, and add on to it.

The American way is Jailing people who never committed a crime Been there done that and never went to El Salvador Was tortured right here in America in county jail But it was covered up and they will do it again to the next person with no family to help them cause we have no civil rights here in USA

This evil treatment will cause sons and daughters of those tortured to grow up and become enemies to the U.S., as it should. Trump is creating the next population of, I was going to say terrorists, but I think I’ll change it to agents of karma.

What do you want “the world” to do, guys? This is your democratically elected president. And the actions carried out by your governments. And you’ve got your own tools - namely second amendment - to deal with tyrannical governments. So… why not use this, instead of expecting everyone else to?

I find my thoughts going back to that gay Venezuelan hair dresser dude they shipped to CECOT. He was so slight, and has such a kind face... I shudder at the fact that for his own sake, I keep hoping he's dead. The alternative is far more horrible to contemplate.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. FELONY CONVICTIONS ARE A NON STARTER ANYONE APPLYING FOR A GOVM'T POSITION MUST SHOW KNOWLEDGE OF/APPRECIATION/COMPLETION /ALL OF THE ABOVE OF A U. S. CIVICS COURSE AND U. S. HISTORY, SPELLING, ENGLISH AND GEOGRAPHY. DISPERSING MISINFORMATION ARE GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL.

Those being sent to South Sudan, which we must accept from the Government that they are hard core criminals, are surely all going to be executed. South Sudan is continually in the midst of war, with neighbors and internally. They do not have any professional penal operations!

I've said it before and it obviously needs to be said again: G.E.N.O.C.I.D.E. What's happening to these people at the behest of the US government is a violation of US and international laws! El Salvador admitted in a court document that what it is doing is under control of the current US regime.

Hundreds of other innocents have been going through this and worse and neither we nor the families know anything about them. This is horror short of only murder (and who knows if any of them have died in El Salvador?) Meanwhile, most Democrat representatives behave as if it were business as usual.

So we are letting a convicted felon send people in the United States to a concentration camp in El Salvador to be tortured and killed? How has tRUMP not been impeached and imprisoned yet?

It wasn't just him who was and is being tortured. The US is fully supporting systemic torture and suffering in the existing camps and those coming online. You can't imagine the glee that's being felt by the torturers. They're going to go full blast once they have access to fresh meat.

Holy sheep dip! Reading his account of what the prisoners have been subjected to is worse than I’d imagined. The guards at Auschwitz would have been very impressed. And every single last be people the US sent there needs to be returned.

Outsourcing our justice to a repressive regime and stripping citizens of legal safeguards is a brazen assault on the Constitution. We must ask: who will be held accountable for these “transfers”?

This is truly horrific. It would be cruel and unusual punishment for people who were convicted of heinous crimes, but it is way worse that people who haven't been convicted of anything are being subjected to this. We have become as bad as the worst 3rd world dictatorships in the world.

This is beyond heartbreaking💔. Andry, a ‘gang member’-puhleezeee! All lies perpetuated by this horrible administration to convince their dumb base that they are remiving all of the dangerous immigrants. LIES! This is another CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY-it’s disgusting. Move the admin to CECOT!

This image has no place in our modern world. These people were kidnapped without due process. I'm ashamed of the cruelty human tyrants can reach. Some to further their wealth and power. Some to safeguard their own freedom as they're wanted criminals. Guilty of heinous crimes.

AG, Do you or some of your legal advisors think there is a chance that Mr Abrego may be called to testify about his treatment in CECOT to the International Criminal Court? El Salvador appears to be signatory to the ICC. Perhaps Bukele could be prosecuted?

The only obvious violent gangs roaming LA neighborhoods are these geared up, supposedly, Federal recruits spreading terror through the streets. The Abrego account of Salvadorian concentration/death camp is appalling and not surprising display of the Inhumanity of Trump's deportation program.

This man has the presumption of innocence--but not according to DOJ. He hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but is presumed to be a danger to the community. What community? I saw a woman wearing an ankle monitor at the market on Saturday. Why is she out and about and not Kilmar?

It hurts my heart to know that there are places & people like this who could treat fellow Human Beings with such cruelty It sickens me to my core to KNOW that a sitting POTUS arranged this. Cruelty is his KINK & he thrives on the misery & suffering of others. May his KARMIC Retribution be FIERCE.

I just can’t - I don’t watch the news anymore I gave up when Joe and Mika went to kiss the ring. I am in physical pain from what is happening here. As a Christian I am sickened that these people are being treated like this . This is not how it’s supposed to be.

Rome Statute on crimes against humanity: - Torture - Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity... - Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law - Enforced disappearance of person - Other inhumane acts...

They need to be prosecuted by The Hague Genocide: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

Unspeakable cruelty and illegality. ALL deportees sent to countries outside the US must be brought back. Justice would require all those responsible for this to endure a day of this treatment. For now, they are devoid of humanity.
