anybody making excuses for this or pretending it's "business as normal" is evil.

\thread.

Nothing more needs to be said. Nothing more needs to be debated. This is evil, pure and simple.

Mandatory interview on the subject - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uleKvJ5Xsw8

It is quite difficult to get a lawyer visit or proof of life for a detainee, even if you have lawsuits being filed from outside and string-pulling from representatives.

There are also categories of prisoners who are being told by guards that they'll never get out, never see legal process or summary deportation, they will just rot in a cell indefinitely.

We got our very own US made Concentration camp: Mass detention without due process. Horrible surviving conditions without simple human rights. Corporal and lasting mental punishments. Made to intimidate and isolate a group of the population. Administered by state paramilitary contractors.

At least we can take solace in the fact this is totally unprecedented, a complete first for this country.

....oh wait.

> Mass detention without due process.

That's not what this is about. I've seen this repeated everywhere, but it usually seems to fall on a personal definition of due process rather than a legal one, with the lack of legal due process being incredibly exceptional, compared to the number of legally valid deportations/detainments.

I've looked many times, but it's always exceptional cases. Do you have anything to possibly correct my perspective that this is not exceptional?

I would feel much, much more sympathetic if this much care for law and order was being shown when these people were illegally entering the United States. Instead our laws were flagrantly disregarded, the border was left wide open. Crime has risen, houses are in short supply, wages are depressed, and the local culture of entire cities has been erased. Those supporting this cared only about the millions of foreigners, and not about the Americans who have no where else to go. I can't even support my own family because these people have damaged the labor and housing economy so badly, and you expect me to care? No one cared about me and my family. I don't have the emotional energy to care about this. I'm too taxed trying to buy a house. If they want to avoid this fate they can get a free flight home with a few taps on an app with an extra $1000 of our taxpayer dollars thrown in. Now if you'll excuse me, I have another home loan application rejection letter to read and another month at work without the promotion I earned a year ago to endure.
