KIDNAPPING

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

The Feds would definitely not do it. And, it looks like congress would just sit on their hands and not impeach him.

Given the conditions at El Salvador's prison CECOT, a death camp may be more appropriate.

But he could easily be dead. Hell, they all could have been killed. That way the money they are being paid to take these men is pure profit.

They kidnapped them and then SOLD them to the gulag for slave labor. "Kidnapping" makes it sound quaint and implausible, something from Dickens or Stevenson.
