Analysis: "American Concentration Camps"

"Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps, it creates a system of detention that eschews due process & disappears citizens into black holes.

"Our offshore concentration camps are in El Salvador & Guantánamo."

But "once they are normalized, not only for immigrants & residents, but U.S. citizens, they will migrate to the homeland."

>>“This tool is to identify individuals for detention, deportation and to threaten with imprisonment if they do not comply,” Angelica Salas, the executive director of the advocacy group the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, said.

“These actions are abhorrent to the values of this country, and we will not stand silent to see cruelty as the official immigration policy of this administr2ation. To our community, our message is that you’re not alone, you have rights, seek legal guidance, and you’re not obligated to provide information that can hurt you or your family.”<<

"Strikingly, the most abject submission has come from the commanding heights of society. Dean’s list of the acquiescent includes Columbia University (meekly caving in to Trump’s demand of a purge of pro-Palestinian students), the tony law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison (which pledged $40 million in pro bono work after Trump threatened to take away their security clearance), and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (who has adopted a strategy of buckling to Trump’s demands, including on occasions when Democrats had the ability to filibuster, as in the budget crisis). Since Dean wrote, the pattern she described has gotten worse, with even more top-tier universities and big law firms bowing and scraping to Trump as if he were an absolute monarch.

Against this pattern of elite yielding, there’s plenty of evidence that ordinary people are ready to fight. Lawmakers of both parties—but especially Republicans—are terrified to go to town halls lest they be confronted by angry voters asking why they are allowing Donald Trump and Elon Musk to run roughshod over government programs. Earlier this month, massive “hands-off” protests surged through the streets of American cities.

The difference between the fighting spirit of ordinary Americans and the demoralized complicity of the elite is most visible in the field of education. When ICE agents go after students in elementary and high schools, they often meet a wall of opposition from staff and local residents."

Has anyone made a FOIA request to see the contract the Trump administration has inked with #ElSalvador in exchange for $15M to keep people Trump extralegally sends to them to be imprisoned at CECOT?

And where in the Federal budget is that money coming from?

#Trump’s tactics have spread #fear & created a showreel of social-media-ready highlights for the White House. But they have not brought #ICE much closer to delivering the “millions” of deportations…Trump has set as a goal.

“We need more money,” #TomHoman, Trump’s “border czar,” told Miroff in an interview. “We won’t fail if we get the resources we need.”

FYI Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen will be on the #RachelMaddow Show #TRMS tonight.

In the video linked above ↑ #VanHollen said he asked the VP of #ElSalvador why the Salvadoran govt continues to hold #KilmarAbregoGarcia despite the fact that he has not been charged with any crime & there’s NO EVIDENCE that he’s MS-13.

Sen Van Hollen said, “His answer was that the #Trump administration is paying the government of #ElSalvador to keep him at #CECOT

Trump's #WorstIdeaOfTheDay: punishment with no hearing and no justice:
"A new Trump administration policy urges immigration judges to swiftly deny asylum to migrants whose applications they deem unlikely to succeed. The swift denials would circumvent the normal hearing process, which typically takes years to wind through the backlogged courts":

#ICYMI: “People are scared to go out because they go out with their kids, and they don’t want to go to a place where (people are) going to show up with guns to check whether they’re a U.S. citizen or not. That was very upsetting for a lot of people.”
