it's not an "accident" if you randomly round up people based on nothing, then exile them to a foreign slave prison, it was a deliberate series of steps to terrify these people and everyone else.

Yup. The whole setup is built around taking away legal recourse from people so they can be mistreated. It's Guantanamo squared. Also derived from the UK's failed Rwanda scheme (failed because they couldn't bypass the courts enough!), Windrush errors, and the Australian government's use of immigration detention on Nauru.

Sooner or later it's going to happen to someone who's a full US national.

(mind you this is going to get flagged off by Trump supporters and politics avoiders)

I don't think avoiding politics is much of an option.

If you get flagged, it might just be because you're violating the HN guidelines with the part of your comment I replied to.
