Summary

Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.

This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.

Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.

The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.

    He literally already did. Legal US residents were shipped off to a concentration camp with no trial or due process. This is despite a judge ruling that he “can’t.”

    He can. He did. He will again if we let him.

      Residents and citizens are not the same though. You cannot deport or exile a US citizen. If that happens there will be anarchy in the streets.

          Goddamn, you fuckers don’t even realize the context of the articles you linked. Hey Mr dumbass, they didn’t deport the US citizen girl, they had a choice to leave her abandoned in the US or take her with them as they got deported. While this is vile and cruel and worthy of causing civil unrest, she was not deported.

          The Trump administration’s border czar, Tom Homan, has said “families can be deported together” regardless of status. Homan said it would be up to the parents to decide whether to depart the U.S. together or leave their children behind.
