    And when a government gets to decide who goes and who doesn’t without due process….

    What then?

        Yes and they used to have that in the U.S. as well, but surprise surprise! If you put an authoritarian in power, who delights in being cruel and punishing people, you tend to lose some of those precious rights.

            Well, I didn’t vote for anyone in the U.S. since I don’t live there.

            But my point is, non-authoritarians wouldn’t even suggest sending their own citizens to foreign prisons/camps. It’s cruel and unnecessary and it doesn’t solve the root of any issues. It’s just offloading your problems onto someone else.

          As I said not really. What I am talking about is semi related

          It’s a general trend lately around the world to send immigrant prisoners away but I argue about making it nationality agnostic

          Why should we only send away immigrant offenders when we can send all offenders somewhere?

          This way we can avoid racism accusations
