    This pretty much went exactly as I (and anyone with a functioning brain) predicted it would.

    Trump gives the middle finger to the Supreme Court, and Bukele helps run cover for Trump by saying he’s not going to return him anyway. This pretty much puts the courts in a position where there’s nothing else the courts can do even if they wanted to (and they weren’t all that interested in doing much in the first place), and Trump gets to walk away from the whole ordeal with absolutely no punishment. Again.

    And what’s scarier is that it basically sets a legal precedent that if you’re “accidentally” deported, too bad, so sad, sucks to be you.

      Can’t think of any times when “undesireables” have been sent to prisons/gulags in other countries. Nope. Nothing springs to mind…

        America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.

        Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120, but that’s about to change. HitlerPig has already signed an executive order to build a 30,000 bed detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and a $249 billion contract has been awarded. This will be in a remote corner of an island controlled by a hostile enemy, far out of the prying view of the courts, or the media. Anything could happen there, and nobody at home would ever known about it.

        So they are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average. Clearly, they are intending to incarcerate far many people that they already do. I wonder who those people will be?

        Perhaps the most worrisome piece of news is this: It is expected to be finished in 2030. Why would HitlerPig commit to such a facility if he wasnt going to be able to use it? Perhaps he expects to still be in power in 2030.
