Attorney General Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, put a pretty face on his cruel policies. They might as well be twins. Even my AI can’t seem to tell them apart. 1
Now we have news about Trump exploring ways to “deport” U.S. citizens to a prison hellhole in El Salvador.
The Trump administration can now be called nothing less than downright Hitlerian in its aspirations and soon, if they can get away with it, in their actions.
The article begins:
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is exploring legal pathways to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has already arranged to house deported immigrants in a prison known for its human rights abuses.
Leavitt suggested the effort would be limited to people who have committed major crimes, but Trump has also mentioned the possibility of sending people who commit lesser offenses abroad.
Any such move on the part of the Trump administration is certain to be challenged in court. It is also not clear what legal authority could be used to justify expelling U.S. citizens from their homeland.
“These would be heinous, violent criminals who have broken our nation’s laws repeatedly. These are violent, repeat offenders on American streets,” Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing.
“The president has said if it’s legal, right, if there is a legal pathway to do that. He’s not sure, [and] we are not sure if there is,” Leavitt continued. “It’s an idea that he has simply floated and has discussed very publicly in the effort of transparency.”
Many people mistakenly think all of Hitler’s concentration and death camps were in Germany. They weren’t.
From 1933 to 1945, more than 40,000 concentration camps or other types of detainment facilities were established by the Nazi regime. Only the major ones are noted on the map (shown here) Among them are Auschwitz in Poland, Westerbork in the Netherlands, Mauthausen in Austria, and Janowska in Ukraine. By 1941, the Nazis began building Chelmno, the first extermination camp (also called a death camp), to "exterminate" both Jews and Gypsies. In 1942, three more death camps were built (Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec) and used solely for mass murder. Around this time, killing centers were also added at the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Majdanek.
It is estimated that the Nazis used these camps to kill approximately 11 million people. Reference.
You could say that Trump and his Gestapo think along the lines of “out of sight, out of mind.” To a large extent this is true. Once someone from America, a citizen or non-citizen, is swallowed up into the bowls of the notorious Salvadorian prison, they are indeed out of sight.
They should not be out of mind. Even the worst or the worst criminals deserve to be afforded their rights under the American judicial system.
If they are non-citizens and found guilty of whatever crime they were charged with I do not think it can remotely be called the American way to send them to serve time in a Salvadorian prison under Salvadorian law.
The gang members deported aren’t even from El Salvadore. There are allegedly members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. While this gang has members who have committed violent acts and broken laws it is wrong to assume that mere membership means they all are the same. Here’s a good article about the gang.
If they are Venezuelan citizens and they are going to be deported anywhere it should be back to where they came from.
So here we have happy Pam Bondi wearing her $50,000 watch doing a photo op in front of a group of prisoners in the Salavdorian prison where, behind the bars, you can see sleeping bunks reminscent of those in Nazi concentration camps. And then we have happy Karoline Leavitt talking about the idea that it’s just fine and dandy to send American citizens to the same prison.
Trump has put these women forward because he thinks they are photogenic and they are as American as Mom with her apple pie.
In fact, these two henchwomen may look the part to Trump and MAGA men and women, but I see them as far darker personalities.
They don’t look the part of a sadistic psychopath like Tom Homan (in the news today):
I see them as being just as cruel and sadistic. They are out front in the bright lights, but the malevolent parts of their personalities are visible to anyone whose eyes are wide open. They can see them for who they really are. 2
