I wonder what does Selena Gomez have to say about this?

She was vociferous in her condemnation of Trump’s deportation orders in January’25 and posted her tears on Insta.

Donald Trump's "border tsar" has vehemently defended a drive to deport unlawful migrants after singer and actress Selena Gomez posted a tearful video saying: "All my people are being attacked, and children."

The star, who has Mexican heritage, sobbed uncontrollably on camera, adding: "I wish I could do something but I can't." She captioned her video with "I'm sorry" alongside a Mexican flag emoji.

But Tom Homan, responding to Gomez and others with similar views, told Fox News: , external"If they don't like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We're going to do this operation without apology."

Well now today, 238 members of the feared Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua are deported from America and hauled into El Salvador's notoriously tough Terrorism Confinement Centre - as Trump delivers on election promise.

I say well done Trump. Getting rid of violent gang members making America that bit safer.

All I know is the sight of young men, heads shaved, hands behind their backs and shackled is inhuman, it turned my stomach. Are they all guilty because Trump says or is it fact? These men a product of their environment have only known violence, so odds are they won’t change but to incarcerate them worse than animals in a cage for 50/60 years is repulsive. You bring a child up with love odds are they will be loving people, these never had a childhood. I would be terrified to walk in that prison and what it would do to someone innocent of charges can’t imagine.
What gives anyone to detain women in such conditions because of wrong visa is an abomination.
Message received, do not visit USA there government are feral. Sincerely hope Trump and Vance get what they dish out, threefold..

Allsorts, I share your dismay at these sights and your question- are they guilty of something?- equally troubling.
Guilty because Mr Trump says you are is not the same as guilty following due process. .

Another innocent person shipped to El Salvador with no Due Process.
