Crooked media podcasts have been talking about El Salvador since the beginning, so I would be surprised if he hasn't tweeted about this topic before.

The whole god damn problem here is treating rights as applying to some people but not others. All they have to do to take yours away is put you in one of the second class categories.
kinda stunned Jonny Favs is even going *this* far tbh
the jons are getting slightly more comfortable criticizing Dems which is a good thing but a bad sign lol
They are always happy to criticize Democrats. They criticized Hilary and Biden and Harris.
lol
Each has their own point where the rising water wets their butt. (Favreau is a tall man, anyway.) Better now than never, but damn anyway.
Exactly this. The constitution grants due process to anyone standing on US soil. Citizen or not. Depriving anyone of it is an affront to all of us.
call me crazy, but i, for one, am anti gulag for any person
Right?? And it shouldn’t be “if they do this to them, they’ll do it to you!” YOU SHOULD CARE ANYWAY
It matters bc so many of them honestly don't care about immigrants. You can't compel them get involved to save immigrants unless they feel directly threatened as citizens. That's the sad reality of this nation.
Moral bankruptcy of shitlibs ugh
Amen.
No gulags!
sanest neolib he fits in on twitter thats for sure
Just let people be wrong for a little bit to send at least a semblance of the right message. Crabs in a bucket once again.
Agree with the sentiment that Democratic leaders should be...doing something? Also agree with you. I mean, can't someone just say, it's bad to send people to El Salvador, what exactly is holding them back.
All prisons are torture dungeons. People are tortured and their civil rights regularly denied in American prisons too.
i hated this kind of shit for the same reason all the way back when people were mad at obama for drone striking an american citizen
I think, in fairness here, he has been saying the same for any legal immigrants or green card holders as well. He's specifically trying to drive into people's minds that American citizens are next. Too many Americans support deporting immigrants under all circumstances, know that we are next people!
It’s as if Fav & his pod read the first few sentences of Niemöller’s parable and are, like, “well, I mean, sure, coming for _them_ seems perfectly reasonable.”
Isn't this in response to Trump's "home grown" hot mic moment? Like it is specifically addressing Trump saying he plans to deport American citizens.
Yes ¡ but we don't want to upset those fence sitting moderates do we?!? 🙃
It's telling how even their outrage is so carefully curated in its language.
It’s also illegal to deport U.S. citizens or Anyone without due process! But this administration doesn’t seem to care about the law.
Yes it’s bad but if you want this to resonate with Americans—who often think something is only bad if they can imagine it happening to themselves—you need to show how yes they could literally be next.
It's gross, really, especially after Trump and Miller's smirking press conference. They are relying on our not caring about non citizens, and Trump undoubtedly thinks Kavanaugh will support this.
Agreed. And most immigration violations aren't crimes; the worst they should be doing it dropping somebody at a border crossing or destination country airport, after giving them a fair trial. (And they shouldn't be doing that either.)
It's possible - likely, I'd hope - that he was also openly vocal against that as well. He's also saying this now that Trump has openly said he's willing to do it. He's not making a distinction between one or the other. He's responding directly to Trump's own comments from today.
This was responding to a specific line from Trump, he has been very outspoken against sending ANYONE to gulags
It’s why the world is staying away from the US in our droves.
There is a large number of people in this country that don’t care what happens to non citizens. Specifying “American citizens” is more effective here.
Everyone should be appalled at Trump’s actions. Unfortunately, there is a distinction in many people’s minds between an immigrant and a citizen. Him being caught on camera saying he’s going to do it should matter.
He knows what his donors will tolerate and behaves accordingly.
