    You are right. There needs to be a public follow-up of some of these decisions to assess their multi-degree effects.

    These seem to issues of subordinates blindly following orders or miscarrying out their directives.

    In addition there are coordinators/facilitators who need to be kept on tighter leashes and strictly supervised.

    Prison is meant to be for rehab, a place to tame “wolves” in a sandbox. Beyond issuing decrees, there needs to be civilian driven investigations into some of these places. They are funded by tax-payers and should be transparently accountable to them, similar to investors in the private sector.

    It’s that or some territories voluntarily separate due to operational disagreements.

      No - this is intentional. This is what Bukele wants, because Bukele is an authoritarian dictator who does not care about human rights.

      “In the state of exception that was put into place last year, there’s been a series of new norms that have been generated,” Bullock told Vox. “Effectively, the state of exception has transformed the criminal justice system entirely,” essentially negating the possibility of fair trials.

      For one thing, there simply aren’t enough public defenders assigned to the thousands of people in pretrial detention, Bullock said. But the bigger problem, according to Bertha María Deleón, an attorney from El Salvador, is the justice system itself.

      “Bukele also controls the Attorney General’s Office, the institution in charge of public criminal defense,” she told Vox. “What’s more, the attorney general says that there are no cases of arbitrary detentions. The human rights attorney does not do her job either.”

      According to Deleón, prisoners must wait in detention, “in overcrowded and subhuman conditions” as their criminal trial plays out, for as long as three years. “Many have died,” she told Vox, “and they do not allow an autopsy.”

      “Oops, we accidentally crowded more people than can safely live in this space, denied them medical care and contact with the outside world! Just a few bad apples!”

      I’ll assume you’re commenting in good faith despite the absurdity.

      You’re missing the point: the human rights abuses are a huge issue, but the prisoners shouldn’t be there. ~100 men were sent to a maximum security prison without getting a trial and based on unproven claims. The government literally admitted that they shouldn’t have sent Abrego Garcia there, but he’s still sitting in prison and the government claims there’s nothing they can do to get him out. Whether or not that’s true, it means that anyone (including you) could get life in prison based on a mistake, which is especially likely to happen when there’s no due process. You should genuinely be scared for your own well-being.

        Thank you.

        I am somewhat unsettled, but people usually don’t listen when a problem is posed without an actionable solution.

        They’re working blind, and want to get over the dark age however they can. It’s why they tend to select leaders, who then create systems that work in the beginning, then can either be changed or maintained.

        Once I get through the cited links, I’ll see if I can figure out something.

          Here’s a shiny new Wikipedia article, with lots of links to parse through.

          In March 2025, the United States deported 137 Venezuelans to El Salvador, to be immediately and indefinitely imprisoned without trial[1] and without prison sentences nor release dates. They were detained at the notorious[2][3] maximum security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a prison with human rights concerns, as part of an agreement to jail U.S. deportees there in exchange for money. They were not given due process such as fair trials, and thus have no orders or sentencing for either the deportations themselves or the imprisonment immediately on arrival. Many deportees have no criminal charges, records, nor convictions in either country. The second Trump administration alleges that the deportees are gang members, but often without any solid evidence, and consequently, innocent individuals have been deported and imprisoned without any fixed term, including instances in which the deportation itself was admitted to be a mistake. The administration is doubling down on its actions and refuses to acknowledge or rectify any issues. Although the deportations themselves were well-publicized afterward, the U.S. did not publish the Venezuelans’ names, nor did it acknowledge the fate and whereabouts of individuals to the public, their families, or their legal representation. Their names were later leaked by CBS News.

          What the Trump administration is doing is not legal.

      Yeah, that’s called a fucking trial.
