By all criteria, this a concentration camp. Not “concentration camp” as rhetorical inflation, or emotionally manipulative shorthand, or edgy metaphor—but as in: literally.

As in: detention without trial, state control, inhumane living conditions, forced labor, dehumanization, brutal violence, isolation from accountability, psychological torture, and—by every available logical extension—murder.

That last one we can’t yet verify in the strict evidentiary sense, but the circumstances suggest it like smoke suggests fire, and they are already trying to hide their actions and deny what is occurring.

      You are literally using a picture with guys covered in MS 13 and 18 street tattoos. If you want to stand up for the people that have been sent there lately by the Trump administration pick a better fucking picture because you’re literally trying to get people to agree with you but you’re putting up a picture of literal fucking rapist and fucking murderers you piece of fucking shits. Feel bad for the people that lost loved ones in the hands of these Terrorist. Because that’s literally what they are they are terrorist that terrorize their communities for years, These are the same guys that would kill a hot dog vendor for selling a hot dog to the opposite rival gang. These are the same guys that would pick up girls And gang raped them and then killed them once they were done with them. It’s fucking ignorant of you to think that you know what’s going on when you don’t know at all whatsoever and it’s pathetic. And this is coming from an El Salvadoran

      If you ever wanna stop being ignorant and actually learn something watch “La vida loca” directed by Christian Poveda on YouTube, and you will see what life was really like when these guys were in the street terrorizing their community. Also they killed the director at the end

        the right has gotten very good at public opinion chess. they keep putting us in checkmate situations where we have to defend the villains in order to oppose their authoritarian methods. most leftists and liberals fall for it - hook, line, and sinker.

        i think it’s time we stopped playing these games, flipped the table, and put a knife to their throats.
