What continues to concern me is the government's argument that, once someone is in CECOT, they are no longer under the jurisdiction of the United States, and therefore unable to be brought back via non-diplomatic channels.
Given Trump has said he'd like to house Americans convicted of crimes in foreign prisons, and given their arguments in this case, this gives me great pause as it effectively turns being taken by our government into a one-way ticket.
That's not rule of law or due process in any way, shape, or form. That's truly disappearing people. And given the continued descent further into fascist authoritarianism, it paints a truly bleak picture, of how life will be in the United States moving forward, for ALL of us.
