Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

this is basically the plot of the movie Brazil
Kafkas The Trial is less fictional every day
How long until this administration starts doing Pinochet helicopter tours?
Oopsie we fucked up your life... Sowwee!
And the excuses were really thin. Among other things:
- Tattoos of crowns and clocks
- “I love you” symbol in sign language,
- being in the same area as a law enforcement target
It's real Nazi science, this identification of criminals by skin colour, tattoos, and gestures. Perhaps they should study head shape too. Anyway, trigger their Nazi spidey sense and you'll be kidnapped and trafficked into permanent imprisonment and slavery in a foreign country where you have no legal rights. They don't have to prove you did anything. And half the US population will cheer because they can't imagine it will ever happen to them.
Yeah. There are some gangs (eg: Police gangs in Los Angeles) which do use tattoos to identify themselves, but not all gangs do so, and most tattoos are not gang-related.
ICE are not taking any care about what the tattoos are. There was a story of someone being sent to prison in El Salvador because they had an autism awareness tattoo, which looked a bit pride-y because it was rainbow colored. If they don't like the look of you they'll find an excuse. Nazis are like that.
Meanwhile the utterly incompetent Secretary of Defense has white nationalist tattoos all over him and that's just fine with them.
Now is the time to start standing up for each other
No take backsies.
It's worse than that.
Oopsie, we fucked up your life. Too bad. Sucks to be you.
Try to be more white next time.
That’s the problem with the removal of due process. The facts don’t matter. Being accused makes you guilty and subjects you to the maximum penalty under the law.
If you think the Trump administration isn’t going to extend this to LGBT people next and people who disagree with their policies after that, you aren’t paying attention.
This should absolutely scare the shit out of literally everybody.
You can literally be disappeared into an El Salvadoran prison, with no charge or due process, and even on the off chance that there is someone willing to fight on your behalf while you rot in a foreign prison, the courts are literally powerless to do anything about it. The Trump administration is literally saying that yeah, they may send some people who aren't actually gang members down there, but if there's a mistake, that's your problem.
And even if Trump does ask for your return (spoiler alert: This will happen exactly zero times), the Salvador government may not even play ball. They may not even know which one of the tens of thousands of prisoners there he even is. And that's assuming you haven't been killed by one of the literally 79 other cellmates you have or you haven't died of some kind of disease due to the conditions there in the process.
If you for one second think that this won't eventually apply to US citizens or Trump's enemies, you haven't been paying attention.
The courts are doing nothing to stop it. The GOP have bent the knee. And what's worst is that a not-insignificant portion of the population is welcoming this with thunderous applause. But this is the world we live in now. Cross Trump, and he will find someone to say that you're a Venezuelan gang member and have you shipped off to El Salvador where you will never return no matter what kind of money and resources you have. This is the United States.
The rest of the free world needs to start cutting ties with the US. Because it's only going to get much, much worse from here.
Why would the free world cut ties with the United States? The free world has ties with the China and Saudi Arabia. It had ties with Russia until a couple years ago… The free world doesn’t care about morality, only interests.
"Mistakenly"
Just like the innocents murdered by the death penalty?
Party of cruelty at its finest.
Well, fuck the Trump administration, but also: fuck El Salvador.
The courts should order Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz, Vance or Trump to go find the guy in the El Salvadorean prison themselves.
Those dumb assholes couldn't find their way out of a Wal-Mart.
I wonder how many people are going to become terrorists because of this treatment?
the giant hemorrhoid-in-chief has already cultivated a whole new generation of american-hating terrorists.. that was last time. this time around, it's just reinforcement for them to expand their numbers and sustain that hate for generations-yet-to-come.
