    BTW, I could not connect this headline to the stay announced yesterday which everyone had already commented on. That’s how bad this headline is. Deportations became “abductions” and “disappearances.” Now they’re “human trafficking.”

    I hope this rhetoric plays better with the general public than “weird.”

      What do you call it when people in plain clothes, wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves as law enforcement literally abduct people (and their fucking terminally ill children), and put them on a flight to a prison in a country that they have never been to and have zero connection to? What is that called?

      This is literally human trafficking. Go fuck yourself for acting like this is in any way normal.

        If they actually were law enforcement, it’s called deportation. The fact that they go about it in scummy ways is important but doesn’t make the rhetoric accurate.

        The way the deportations are happening is not normal.

          This is not how deportation works, as evidenced by the fact that the Supreme Court heard the case in the first place.

          Up until this decision, this is never how deportation has worked. They changed the definition here.
