Do Americans still care about due process? Honest question. I have only been lightly following this El Salvador prison stuff and wondered what the Americans on here thought. I remember trying to describe the importance of due process to Philippinos when Duterte started rounding up people, and most didn’t care. They just wanted the streets “clean”. Duterte ended up being the most popular president of the modern era.

First off: it's awful, and innocent people are going to be / have been caught up in this persecutory action. But, until the hand wave of "non-residents are not entitled to US rights" to dismiss legal objections to and criticisms of treating people like this is resolved, the legal gap that allows it will continue.
