Description

The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they’re all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75 percent of them. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Since a "wartime" law was invoked, I wonder if the people responsible can be charged with war crimes later.

NO THAT COUNTRY DIDN'T OFFER TO TAKE THEM. THE U.S. IS PAYING TO HAVE THEM THERE.

From the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process."

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — G.M. Gilbert, Nuremberg

Some people are so concerned about having their empathy taken advantage of that they never stop to wonder who’s taking advantage of their hate.

If non-citizens have no due process, then YOU have no due process when they say you are a non-citizen.

This is way beyond disturbing. It needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
