#3it's not an "accident" if you randomly round up people based on nothing, then exile them to a foreign slave prison, it was a deliberate series of steps to terrify these people and everyone else.

#5"Can't" = "makes no effort at all, not even a mail or a phone call".
Be aware though - as soon as anyone ends up in El Salvador (or wherever), it apparently doesn't matter if any "accidents" were had. What's done, is done.
This is incredibly convenient if you want to trim the opposition a little.

#6> The Trump administration argues that because the man is no longer in U.S. custody, a U.S. court lacks jurisdiction to issue orders regarding his detention and release.
That's evil and stupid.
By that twisted logic, the President can ship all the gold in Fort Knox to a Russian bank under his own name, and US courts "won't have jurisdiction" to rule that it must be returned.

Yup. The whole setup is built around taking away legal recourse from people so they can be mistreated. It's Guantanamo squared. Also derived from the UK's failed Rwanda scheme (failed because they couldn't bypass the courts enough!), Windrush errors, and the Australian government's use of immigration detention on Nauru.
Sooner or later it's going to happen to someone who's a full US national.
(mind you this is going to get flagged off by Trump supporters and politics avoiders)

#9Implement Lex Talionis for gross misconduct in public office. Did an official, through gross negligence, cause irreparable harm to innocents? Mete the same harm upon them; then empathy may stop being a weakness.
/s, but I became less sure of it as I typed.

Or maybe, more like Mao. The culture war going IRL.
("Make China great again" already occurred, in the 1960s.)
