That's a weird thing to say in 2025 , considering what the US government is deporting people for having the wrong opinions domestically, and attempting to export the identity politics of the current administration via tarde deals with the UK. I suppose one might be blind to it because of their own political persuasion, suggesting that identity politics peaked in 2021 says more about the author's biases than the present reality.

You probably thought I was talking about El Salvador. I wasn't.

Is it not deportations when multiple university students have stripped of their visas without notice, by order of "Little Marco" and forced to leave the country?
