Since we’re using El Salvador like it’s a new Gitmo. Like yes, it would still suck for the people from El Salvador.
But at least people from other countries would go back to their home country. Presumably to be treated far better than El Salvador.
Because they havent been paid to do so yet. They dont work for us.
Because then most of the people being deported right now would just be deported to the US, causing a paradox and unfolding reality.
Because they are sociopaths that have zero empathy for those they deport.
it’s not a law that one country can make. it’s a law that requires agreement between countries via international treaty
We could easily, and should, implement a law saying that people must be deported back to their own country. It just means fewer people would be deported.

Still not getting it.
The US can create a law saying “you can only deport people to their home country”. And if the home country doesn’t allow that, don’t fucking deport them.
It’s basic empathy.
Otherwise, let’s just all deport them all to Antarctica. It would save a lot of money on logistics, if we’re willing to not give a fuck.
your wording here is more clear. that makes more sense. yes that sounds good
Do you remember how prisoners were kept in Guantanamo Bay, even after they were no longer suspected of any wrongdoing, simply because there wasn’t a country that would both accept them and treat them in accordance with US law? Many of those prisoners ended up nowhere near where they came from.
Some countries refuse to accept deportees. Some countries are so likely to mistreat deportees that sending them to those countries is illegal. Some countries simply don’t exist anymore.
Were? There’s guys still there
The fucking thought that Americans feel superior enough to not allow another country to take them…in this case from their extra judicial torture black site.
The Uyghurs in Guantanamo didn’t want to go back to China.
Because our laws only protect the wealthy, enforce racism, sexism and are getting worse and more genocidal in real time
I bet the general answer from congress would be “Why? It’s not our country’s problem where they end up once out of here”
Because both Houses of Congress are controlled by Republicans who are 100% in support of everything the regime is doing.
I mean, ignoring the law is this administration’s whole thing, so it wouldn’t matter. Also, as we’ve seen in the UK as well as the US, many targetted individuals have never even been to “their own country”.
Because people facing deportation aren’t billionaire donors, so the law doesn’t work for them
Because congress is complicit

To the current constitution-violating republican administration, none of this matters and the cruelty is part of it. That said, let’s play a game:
- what is the country of someone who grew up in the US, possibly speaking only English?
- what happens if the country is inaccessible for some reason (countries occasionally collapse or close borders)
- what happens if the borders of the country change and the person’s hometown is now in country X instead of their country of birth Y
There are probably more weird edge cases that would need to be in any law as well.
Yup. Just waiting for a little while from now when Trump starts deporting Ukranians to Russia because “well the place they came from doesn’t exist it’s Russian now”
Also, if someone claims asylum, international law explicitly forbids sending them back to their country (not that international law has any bearing whatsoever on this but y’know, add a layer on top)
Because then they wouldn’t be able to deport actual US citizens who aren’t the right color. I mean, if they actually respected the rule of law and weren’t already breaking dozens of them.
Because the cruelty of it is the entire point. People still like to imagine those in power have some sort of misguided moral compass or reasoning. They do not. They are pure, unadulterated evil.
