Since we’re using El Salvador like it’s a new Gitmo. Like yes, it would still suck for the people from El Salvador.

But at least people from other countries would go back to their home country. Presumably to be treated far better than El Salvador.

    We could easily, and should, implement a law saying that people must be deported back to their own country. It just means fewer people would be deported.

      it’s not a law that one country can make. it’s a law that requires agreement between countries via international treaty

        Still not getting it.

        The US can create a law saying “you can only deport people to their home country”. And if the home country doesn’t allow that, don’t fucking deport them.

        It’s basic empathy.

        Otherwise, let’s just all deport them all to Antarctica. It would save a lot of money on logistics, if we’re willing to not give a fuck.
