Donald Trump has long dreamed of introducing draconian punishments for all types of crimes. The President has previously proposed immigrants without papers Guantanamo Bay to send. The Death penalty for drug dealers To introduce. And again shooting commands To introduce as a direction of execution.
On Friday, Trump was now considering American citizens who have deliberately damaged Teslas-the car produced by his Plutocratic Co-President Elon Musk-in a willfully damaged manner a prison in El Salvador to send. Where they are charged with human rights violations.
“I look forward to watching these sick terrorist rackers for what they Elon Musk and Tesla do to be sentenced to 20 years in prison. Perhaps you could serve this punishment in El Salvador’s prisons. Who have recently become known for their excellent conditions, ”wrote Trump On Truth Social.
Tesla as the goal of protests
While the counter -reaction to the mass resolutions of federal employees by Musk and Trump, the dissolution of government agencies and the destabilization of the economy increases, Tesla has become the goal of protests. Of which some violent extended. On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi terminated The arrest from three people who had deliberately damaged Tesla vehicles, dealers or charging stations.
“All three defendants will have to expect the full hardness of the law. Because they used Molotow cocktails to set up Tesla cars and charging stations,” wrote Bondi. “This should be a warning. If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla owners, the Ministry of Justice will bring you behind grids.”
Families of terrorism have become a collective term for the efforts of the Trump government. To act against immigration, political differences of opinion and protests. And to bypass the established rights to a proper procedure. At the beginning of this week, the Trump government attracted the anger of the judiciary and the legal representative. She ignored supposedly a court decisionwho prevented the president from referring to the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport two aircraft charges with migrants to El Salvador. And to transferring it into the prison system there.
Tren de aragua
The Trump government claimed with hardly existing evidencethat the deported migrant members of the gang are de Aragua. Which the president had declared a foreign terrorist group at the beginning of the year. Under the pretext of the Alien Enemies Act, the deported men were not given a hearing to immigration the possibility to refute that they were members of the criminal gang.
Instead, they were brought to the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (Cecot). A huge prison in rural El Salvador, which was built against organized crime as part of President Nayib Bukele’s approach.
It is obvious that Bukele served as a model for the Trump government on this matter. The government of El Salvador was accusedTo carry out mass arrests without proper procedures. To abuse prisoners and even torture. And to capture the detained under overcrowded, unsanitary conditions.
Like sardines in concrete cell blocks
Videos and pictures come from the Cecot are reminiscent of pictures of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, which once brought the Americans into rage. Bukele himself has released a video in which guards half -naked prisoners abuse“Forcing them while they hit batons. They sit together in cells and arranged in concrete cell blocks like sardines. Subsized with the head.
The United States, send the deported migrants to Cecto and El Salvador 6 million dollars for the detention of the prisoners were part of a Laboring staged shock-and-fore-fore surgerythat lived out some of Trump’s most authoritarian fantasies. The prisoners were dragged out of the aircraft in chains. Each of them half between el-Salvadorian guards (wrapped in body protection and weapons from head to toe), who kept the prisoners bent in the waist and stared at the floor.
The ritual humiliation is the point
Her heads were shaved. And they were closed to already overcrowded cells for their stay. High -resolution cameras considered the show for the social media.
The ritual humiliation is the point. That is why Trump, when he threatened to send three arrested US citizens to Cecot on Friday, sarcastic that the prisons in El Salvador “only recently received an excellent reputation for their excellent conditions”.
Therefore, one of his first official acts as President was to revive the Guantanamo Bay prison as a prison for migrants. As former presidents had to experience, the shameful flaw of human rights violations remains under the seal of the President forever.
