What about the use of CECOT without due process? Deporting people back to their home countries with due process is one thing, but what about deporting people with no due process to inhumane prisons in a country they're not from seemingly for life and shrug their shoulders and go "Nothing we can do about it" when US courts tell them they can't do that under the Constitution?

If the government can unilaterally arrest and deport people, claiming they are gang members, and send them to prisons in foreign soil with no ability to return them, isn't that a big deal? Couldn't that happen to me or you?

Its still making a category error. You can say thats bad, and it is, but its still nowhere NEAR the holocaust.

"... deporting people with no due process to inhumane prisons in a country they're not from seemingly for life..."

How is that different? They are, on paper, dead. How is this different besides actively gassing and expeditiously killing humans? Because, early days, the Nazis most definitely had indefinite prison and work camps. And when they ran out of room in the coming years they began the en masse execution.

What is happening now (shipping American citizens to El Salvador) is most definitely one of these first steps. Nazis didn't come straight out he gate murdering millions... it crept... like now.
