Don’t you have to be guilty of a crime to be sent down there?
For the vast majority of people who violate their visas, they simply get sent to their home country. If you’re willing to remain in your home country out of fear of US policies, it’s very likely your home country would take you back and not disown you.

If you come here legally and don't commit a crime, they won't send you down there. If you come here legally and commit a crime, you'll get sent back to your country of origin. People being sent down there came here illegally.

If you you are illegally in just about any country, being there without authorization is basis for deportation. No one is being denied due process.

The vast majority are being sent to nearby countries as well.
And those guys are Salvadoran… right? Like if Mexico sends back a bunch of criminal gringos, what are we supposed to do, ask Mexico to incarcerate them for us? No we take them and put them through our system of justice and send them to the pen.
One was a Venezuelan soccer player (Jerce Reyes Barrios) who was accused of being a a gang member because he had a tattoo ... inspired by his favorite soccer team.
