U.S. News: The Danger Of Justifying These Disappearances Of People :: Justification As "Criminals" Is Excuse For White Supremacy
/Hello. If you’re new here to ALBB, we’d like you to know that we cover worldly news in addition to Beacon news. Because the world around us shapes our little world in Beacon.

As we are discussing and experiencing the disappearances of green card holders and H1B visa for students in America, for what seems to be any reason, there is the discussion of “criminals” being deported. This statement seems to justify the mass deportation of people here in the United States, while ignoring the due process of the law.
This feels like when the United States was rounding up Arabs and putting them into Guantanamo Bay after 9-11 and torturing them.
Highly important to those people who justify the taking of people and labeling them as “criminals” or “t3rrori5t” is the fact that the United States is paying another entity to jail these people. That is American tax dollars that people say they are trying to save the country from spending, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the deal with El Salvador to pay El Salvador to hold these people’s body’s in jail and mistreat, abuse and traumatize them.
From The Guardian:
“El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, said 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and 23 members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13 had arrived and were in custody as part of a deal under which the US will pay the Central American country to hold them in its 40,000-person capacity “t3rrorism confinement centre”.
“The US district judge James Boasberg had attempted to halt the deportations for all individuals deemed eligible for removal under Trump’s proclamation, which was issued on Friday. Boasberg also ordered deportation flights already in the air to return to the US.”
“‘Oopsie … Too late,’” El Salvador’s leader posted online, followed by a laughing emoji.”
“Soon after Bukele’s statement, the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, thanked El Salvador’s leader.”Marco Rubio agreed to pay El Salvador’s leader with our money.
American Civil Liberties Union Urges Federal Court Intervention
The Guardian reports that the American Civil Liberties Union is challenging T’s use of the wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act from 1798.
Lee Gelernt, a lawyer with the ACLU, told The Guardian: “I think we are on very dangerous ground here. This is a lawless action this administration has taken. If the administration is allowed to use wartime authorities anytime it wants to remove people, I think we are going to see more and more people being subjected to this type of alien enemies act, and a blurring of wartime authority with domestic authority. I cannot stress how important it is that the federal courts prevent this from happening.”
The United States will begin paying El Salvador for imprisoning people the United States says are “criminals.” Rubio said that paying this money was going to “save our taxpayer dollars,” though it is not clear how.
The Guardian reports: “El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, said 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and 23 members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13 had arrived and were in custody as part of a deal under which the US will pay the Central American country to hold them in its 40,000-person capacity “terrorism confinement centre”.
“The confirmation came hours after a US federal judge expanded his ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act, a wartime authority that allows the president broad leeway on policy and executive action to speed up mass deportations.”
The Guardian pointed out: “The Alien Enemies Act has only ever been used three times before, most recently during the second world war, when it was used to incarcerate Germans and Italians as well as for the mass internment of Japanese-American civilians.”
“It was originally passed by Congress in preparation for what the US believed would be an impending war with France. It was also used during the war of 1812 and during the first world war.“
It is not clear why the law exists at all, except to enforce white supremacy.
