Americans are abnormal. Our hyper individualism makes up pacified in the face of fascism. Most of us know this is very wrong but paying our bills and catching up the next hit on Netflix is is our primary concern.
It would take a millions of Americans being out of work with no economic prospects for people to get active. During the BLM protests a lot people were out of work and had time to get out there and protest.

President Donald Trump and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, meeting at the White House on Monday, were pressed repeatedly on what's next regarding the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a migrant from Maryland.
Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters in the Oval Office, "It's up to El Salvador if they want to return him," and Secretary of State Marco Rubio called him a citizen of El Salvador.
Bukele, the self-described "world's coolest dictator" who has become a key ally in the administration's controversial migrant deportations, indicated, when a reporter asked, that he would not take action to release Abrego Garcia.
"I don't have the power to return him to the United States," Bukele said.
The Supreme Court last week ordered the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia. Trump on Friday said, "If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would tell them to do that. I respect the Supreme Court."
Trump appeared to amend that statement, though, in a social media post over the weekend where he suggested the fate of those deported now rests with Bukele.
"Looking forward to seeing President Bukele, of El Salvador, on Monday! Our Nations are working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations, and build a future of Prosperity. President Bukele has graciously accepted into his Nation’s custody some of the most violent alien enemies of the World and, in particular, the United States," Trump wrote. "These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign Nation, and their future is up to President B and his Government."
The Justice Department argued in court filings that the courts had "no authority" to direct how the executive branch engages in foreign relations and argued the administration could not interfere with El Salvador's sovereignty. Another hearing is set in the case for Tuesday.
Ahead of Monday's meeting, President Trump said he thought Bukele was "doing a fantastic job" and "taking care of a lot of problems that we have that we really wouldn't be able to take care of from a cost standpoint."
"We have some very bad people in that prison, people that should have never been allowed into our country, people that murder drug dealers, some of the worst people on Earth are in that prison and he's able to do that," Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he returned to Washington from Florida on Sunday.

But this was somehow preferable to Kamala getting into office right? Elect an racist/xenophobic administration that do not care about the laws brehs.

Trump Floats Deporting Some US Criminals To El Salvador: 'Monsters'
By Billal Rahman
Immigration Reporter
Federal immigration authorities apprehended a 19-year-old in New York despite realizing he was not the intended target.
The young man, Merwil Gutiérrez, was later deported to El Salvador's notorious super prison, despite his family's insistence that he has no gang ties or criminal history.
His father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, is now searching for answers after his son was snatched by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
"The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, 'No, he's not the one,' like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, 'Take him anyway,'" Wilmer told Documented, "an independent, nonprofit newsroom dedicated to reporting for immigrant communities in New York City."

Why It Matters
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele responded Monday to questions about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, stating that he lacked the authority to return individuals sent by the U.S. to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).
This remark came amid growing criticism of the government's handling of due process, opponents accusing the administration of bypassing legal safeguards in its treatment of deportees. Critics argue that Garcia's deportation reflects a broader pattern of disregarding constitutional rights, sparking concerns over the erosion of legal protections in the country's justice system.
President Donald Trump has pledged to conduct the largest deportation operation in American history as his administration looks to remove millions of undocumented immigrants. The White House has said anyone living in the country unlawfully is considered a "criminal" by the federal government. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, thousands of migrants have been arrested.
What To Know
Gutiérrez, who fled instability in Venezuela and was pursuing an asylum case in the U.S, was detained in the Bronx by ICE agents conducting a targeted operation.
According to his father, the agents initially acknowledged he was not the individual they were seeking—but chose to detain him anyway.
Just days later, Gutiérrez was deported to El Salvador, where he was transferred to a high security prison known for housing members of violent gangs, including the transnational criminal group Tren de Aragua.
His family and attorneys say he has no criminal record, no gang affiliations, and "not even a tattoo," which authorities often use to profile alleged gang members.
Wilmer Gutiérrez last spoke to his son on March 16 during a brief call allowed by police. He had spent days searching for information, visiting police stations and courthouses, only to be told there was no record of his son.
During the call, Merwil Gutiérrez said he was being held in Pennsylvania and expected to be transferred to Texas before returning to Venezuela. That transfer never happened.
Wilmer Gutiérrez later discovered through a news report that his son had been deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Videos circulating online showed detainees in harsh conditions, their heads shaved and marched to cells.
"I could have understood if he'd been sent back to Venezuela," he said. "But why to a foreign country he's never even been to?"
In May 2023, Wilmer Gutiérrez left Venezuela with his son Merwil and nephew Luis, traveling through Colombia and the Darién Gap into Panama. The monthlong journey eventually brought them to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, where they applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) through the CBP One app. While waiting for their immigration appointment, they took temporary jobs and slept near the border to keep their place in line.
Before leaving Venezuela, Wilmer had lived in Los Teques, near Caracas, working for the state oil company PDVSA and later running a cellphone repair business. However ongoing political instability and a collapsing economy made it increasingly difficult to support his family, including his three children and his mother, who was battling cancer.
What People Are Saying
William Parra, an immigration attorney from Inmigración Al Día said: "Merwil was detained for hanging out with friends and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. ICE was not looking for him, nor is there any evidence whatsoever that Merwil was in any gang."
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council said in a post on X, formerly Twitter: "19-year-old Merwil Gutierrez was grabbed off the street in New York City days before he was sent to El Salvador. His family insists he has no connection to Tren de Aragua. He doesn't even have any tattoos."
What Happens Next
Gutiérrez's legal team is calling for immediate diplomatic intervention to secure his release and safe return.

Oh well 
Didn’t Latinos vote for this? If you break laws and make life dangerous for civilians I’m all for deporting. Let them fight

Are you proposing that we invade El Salvador to retrieve a gang member with no legal right to be in our country?
Where in the Supreme Court’s decision does it require us to do that?

No, JD. They said they like pancakes. Nobody asked you to launch a geopolitical fever dream with a side of fearmongering syrup.

I think you’re right breh.I always figured dude snitched on the gang and part of his agreement was going to the USA
The founding fathers were just as unscrupulous as Trump and maybe even moreso.
There’s not gonna be a reorganization of anything to the benefit of the common people.
For years we’ve been hearing about plans to round certain citizens up and put them into camps after martial law has been declared after a major catastrophic event, but people said that was just “conspiracy talk” and had big jokes about tin foil hats.
Well it ain’t very funny now. They played a clip of trump telling the president from El Salvador that the next wave would be native born citizens, and said he’d need to build about 5 more facilities. They chuckled like it was a joke but I don’t doubt it one bit. Why have a buncha camps here when you can contract that out to some South American country where the prisoners are out of sight and out of mind?
