They also hate neurodivergence. RFK's little speech talking about it like an acquired disease and promising to "reverse" the autism that made children "regress" was very telling.
He's from Venezuela not El Salvador. It is not deportation, this is taking a vulnerable innocent asylum seeker and placing him outside of the law in a inhumane concentration camp. The law can no longer reach him!
This is why its not just a bad prison, recommended read: https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/03/20/human-rights-watch-declaration-prison-conditions-el-salvador-jgg-v-trump-case
Renditioned, not deported.
I didn't think the article he claimed otherwise?
The commenter is referring to the fact that sending someone to a foreign concentration camp in a country they aren't actually from is fundamentally different from "deportation" and that using that term only serves to bolster the regime.
Exactly this
Why isn't this one getting more attention?
More than Abrego Garcia? Probably because he had a court order not to be deported.
Because they are flooding the news cycle to muddy the waters.
I thought this happened less than a week ago? I don’t even know what happened to this guy..
It happened about a month ago or more, along with a number of other tattooed Venezuelans.

No, it was just racism. Everything beyond that was just pretext. Aesop covered this a couple of years ago.
They know these tattoo's aren't gang symbols, but it's just an excuse. Once they've established that they can deport anyone they want and the courts are powerless to stop them they'll just stop talking about them.
This is how they create terrorists. But they also profit off of terrorists... So what should people do?
They have the ability to capitalize on everything.
We don't need terrorists. We need assassins and revolutionaries.
Terrorists and revolutionaries are the same people, it just depends on who you ask.
Tomato, tomato
