The U.S. deported 238 people to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, a brutal, maximum-security facility designed to break human beings. 137 of them were Venezuelans, deported under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — a law from the 18th century, revived to bypass due process. The other 101 were sent under standard immigration rules, but none were given a real chance to defend themselves. We’re told they were gang members — based on what? Tattoos? Stereotypes? Secret evidence? No court. No trial. Just raw political theater. This isn’t justice. It’s state-sponsored abuse, done to score points and look “tough.” But it only makes the president look weak, panicked, and unfit to lead. Americans demand these individuals be brought back and given the rights guaranteed by our Constitution. Anything less is tyranny in disguise.
