It's a concentration camp.

The "inmates" are not supposed to survive this.

I mean how could they? There was no crime so no time can be served. And even if there would be a made up time after which they would get free, these people have been tortured. They won't be easily reintegrated into any society. They will be mentally unstable at best. Which country would take them?

This is a death sentence with torture on top. Without trial, without oversight and as we can see even the Supreme Court can't intervene.

And Trump wants more of them and to add "home grown" threats (US citizens) to the people who land there.

When "agents" without uniforms or identification or warrants, wearing masks, snatch people up and put them in unmarked vans to destinations unknown -- it's "disappearing."

Isn't "kidnapping" part of this as well?

Seriously American media needs to stop calling this deportation. Stop enabling Nazis. Stop grooming us to accept Nazis

The definition of deporting does not specify that it must be to the country of origin. It is simply the expulsion of a foreigner from a country. No specific destination is needed.

This may seem pedantic, but words matter, and if you're starting your argument by trying to twist and change what words mean, then you're already weakening your point. Especially when you end your argument with GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Salvador is a concentration camp

In German, i.e. the language of the work and death camps, Deportation is different from Abschiebung (≈off-pushing). Deportation in German still is associated with the Nazi regime, while Abschiebung is being normalised successfully.

AFAIK, during and after the Second World War, the anglophone world learnt about the German crimes at least partially through a German language lense, so my guess is that the English word deportation was mingled with the meaning of the German word Deportation and the meaning of banning individuals from a place after due process.
