44. Not send them to a random war-torn third country.
Sat Jul 12, 2025, 09:32 AM
Jul 12

The usual approach is to deport people back to their country of origin. Doing otherwise is kidnapping. We're not supposed to do that.

I'm not questioning that these particular people were charged and found guilty of serious crimes.

Unfortunately, under Trump we're seeing that quite a few people - an unknown number, because Trump administration won't release data, which itself is a huge problem - are being sent to be tortured in third countries without any due process at all. They're being snatched off the streets - women and children too - put on secret planes and sent to El Salvador and Gitmo and Sudan and now this Alligator place - a random set of places, some domestic some foreign, where nobody is getting any due process. That is definitely kidnapping.

If they get away with this, literally none of us is safe. Do you own a business somebody envies? They'll drop a tip on you. Having an affair with someone's wife or girlfriend and want to get rid of him? Call ICE, toll free.

A teen kid in a Midwest town was deported to who knows where. He was the ONLY student in his high school who was targeted. Guess what. He was the star athlete. You think maybe somebody was jealous?
