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.

No, not really. Some large % doesn’t understand these rights at all so they don’t know what they are losing. Some other % is happy to see the authoritarian hammer being swung for their team. I understand I am powerless here so I don’t really get too upset.

The refrain near the end of the election from supporters was “Send them all home” so yes, they voted for this. I made money from the fervor off this as private prison stocks soared after the election 

Like most Trump gov projects the execution is poor. They somehow have the ability to send the kidney transplant surgeon packing (and to your point WHY — of all people) but are otherwise doing a middling job of “sending them all home”. 

Why am I paying for people to languish in ICE detention centers. “Send them home” =! jail them indefinitely with no due process in a detention facility that’s at 10x capacity. They are detaining more (and not even that many more if you considered we were promised millions of deportations), and releasing and deporting less. What?

What’s really stupid is they aren’t even doing a good job at the actual deportations. We are basically only increasing detentions while not sending anyone home. 🤡

No one believes or trusts anyone anymore. Media least of all. The details of green card revoking and profiling certainly is scary. Right to assemble is pretty sacred too…

I don’t know anyone excited about any of this. However many think of it in taking medicine terms. They didn’t like the open borders. So they aren’t going to be against aggressive deportations.
