    The alligators were full?

    And if you think this is a sick joke, consider this: another regime very similar to Trump’s started disappearing undesirables in specialized illegal prisons some 90 years ago. Those people were never seen again, for reasons that became clear to the whole world 10 years later.

    Do you honestly think Trump and that Nazi Barbie Kristi Noem are above that?

      Kind of. Not as people, but maybe fear of actually suffering consequences if anyone found out.

      I think your point is a good one, and not impossible. But it’s much more likely they were sent to a gulag somewhere.

      The end result might not be much different, given enough time.

        maybe fear of actually suffering consequences if anyone found out.

        That’s the thing: Trump and his henchmen feel more and more invulnerable and do bolder and bolder things, since nobody pushes back, and they now have the ICE Gestapo to make sure nobody will.

        Don’t count on fear to be found out. It didn’t stop the German Nazis and it won’t stop the American ones.

      I’m sure they did that and that was the intention on the location, but it was shut down by a judge.

      ETA: Also, these were boys (some teenagers) to men taken without due process in a lot, if not most, of the cases. These could be US citizens and/or legally here people. Regardless, they don’t deserve to die, be tortured, or separated from their families in a prison for any of this.

      There is another article discussing dropping people off in Ghana and such, it’s more likely that they were flown out of the country and dumped someplace than they would risk losing more supporters right now over out right murdering them.
