The Republican party seems to have a particular fondness for deporting innocent people to El Salvador without justification.


You can look up the reason in the ICE database but it only supports clients using SQL Workbench…so…


There is no human right that allows you to live in any country you want without its consent.


That's a different claim than the parent made. CECOT, specifically, is absolutely a place where human rights are not observed.


They’re trying to end birthright citizenship, which basically would allow them to deport, well anybody who disagreed with them, even if that person’s has no other country be deported to.

For example, I am an American citizen, born and raised. I have never lived outside of the United States. My father, now deceased, was from Nicaragua, but he was an American citizen also. However, by ending birthright citizenship, I can can be deported simply for being liberal, if the Supreme Court allows this.


Well first of all that's that not what ending birthright citizenship would mean. Secondly if birthright citizenship were a human right then most countries would be in violation of human rights.


It’s a violation of your civil rights as it’s a core part of the U.S. Constitution, something Americans love to try to beat other countries over the head with.

If you guys don’t care about your Constitution, then I wish you all the best of luck.


This may shock you, but I believe that most are.


If you remove the rule of law, then you let tyrants reign. Best of luck with the complete breakdown of your separation of powers - it’s why you have your freedoms.

You’ll care when you need the government to heed a court decision taken against them and they completely ignore it. At that point though, it’s too late.

Incidentally, many of those who were deported did have the consent of the courts to remain.
