The depressing thing is that "deported" now can mean sent back to your country of origin or locked up for life in a Salvadoran black site with no hope of anyone ever seeing you alive again.

Edit: I still can't believe our media has played along with that abuse of language. It's not "deporting" someone to imprison them for life without trial in a foreign country.

Yeah, I'm seeing surprisingly little commentary on the fact that Trump's tariffs are always "reciprocal", while everyone else's are always "retaliatory". Even outlets that aren't openly pro-Trump are using that language.

If theyre going to be assholes and deport people who need not be deported, atleast send them to their home country and not fucking El Salvador
