"In Vance's America, the police can knock on any immigrant's door, deport him to a dictatorship without due process, and then wash their hands of his fate," said Rep. Ro Khanna.
It’s been said before, but without due process there is not due process to determine who is and who isn’t an immigrant. Also, using the word “deport” for what is happening is sanewashing. When someone is deported, they get sent back to their own country or a country of convenience where they can continue productive life in some capacity.
What we have here is a gulag. Folks are being rounded up due to informants and being disappeared to a secret prison without any oversight. Are there American citizens “mistakenly” on the “deportation” flight to the secret prison where there is generally no contact? Who can say?
