Venezuelan immigrants deported from USA arrive at the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador
(sh.itjust.works)
This looks like some coward Gestapo behavior. They know that if they showed their faces, we’d have their names in seconds.
Well of course. They originally where handling and processing the gang members from the Salvadorean country. It would be a bad judgment to go without masking and paint yourself, and your family, as a target for other gang members as retaliation.
If they collect a paycheck from the police or military that target is well painted on already. But I agree, the masking does help with risky prioritization.
I'd watch some videos about the center. It really is one of a kind. El Salvador for better or worse is not fucking around with this place. I don't know if deportees would end up there, but it truly is a new kind of hell
Immigrants, not illegal immigrants? Well in that case this'll teach em for thinking legally residing foreigners are welcome on US soil! Yee haw! Pew pew!
All my Salvadoran relatives cite the lower crime rate, when i mention the prisons are beyond inhumane “yes but the crime rates” but what about the innocent people that surely got swept up when civil liberties were suspended and people thrown in prison without trial “yeah but crime rates” how come the president is pro Putin? “Yeah but crime rates” you guys do realize he’s gonna eventually turn on you all, and already calls himself a wannabe dictator? “Yeah but the crime rates”.
El Salvador will become a fascist stronghold and everyone is just loving it
