Summary

Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.

This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.

Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.

The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.

        No you don’t. You need to prove everyone who was sent to a concentration camp received due process, which they absolutely did not receive because we don’t even have a list of everyone abducted and rendered by ICE.

          Clearly you don’t know shit. The burden of proof is on the claimant.

              Does the circumstance matter? The burden of proof is ALWAYS on the claimant. I can say you’re a traitor to democracy, but the burden of proof is on me. No wonder us lefties lose all the time.

                  😂 wild how unreasonable you people are. You’d just jump to conclusions without evidence. Have fun being labeled a terrorist and thrown into prison. I won’t be protesting for you people.
