Three weeks ago, 238 Venezuelan migrants were flown from Texas to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.
...
The government has released very little information about the men. But through internal government documents, we have obtained a list of their identities and found that an overwhelming majority have no apparent criminal convictions or even criminal charges.
...
At least 22% of the men on the list have criminal records here in the United States or abroad. The vast majority are for non-violent offenses like theft, shoplifting and trespassing. About a dozen are accused of murder, rape, assault and kidnapping.
For 3% of those deported, it is unclear whether a criminal record exists.
But we could not find criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans - 179 men- now sitting in prison.
Vague allegations, bullshit based on "he's got a tattoo" or "he flashed a gang sign on social media a decade ago"... yeah, this is some real Nazi/Soviet shit.
And that the Administration chortles about this cruelty and its acolytes cheer them on is telling. For you know, don't you, that they are the same kind of people who would have called the Gestapo to rat out Anne Frank and her family.

Faux News this morning has an AF1 door "interview" with Trump where he says he'd love to send US citizen criminals to prisons like El Salvador's. Especially if it would be cheaper. But he "doesn't know what the law says about that" ... as if that matters.
We are now entering the newest phase of TDS, Trump's Dystopian State.
And now after reading a few article about Trump I will relieve my churning stomach and go to some humor and actual human (not Trump) interest sites.
