Authorities in Ontario, Canada claimed to have found more than 80 Tesla vehicles vandalized in a showroom, later marking the incident the the largest vandalism instance in Canada against a US-based car dealership

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.

    I hope you’re right, but they will likely try. And the Rule of law has been eroded more and more. They already openly defied a court order to send Venezuelan people to the El Salvador work camp. They gloated about it, too.

    And that was all without due process. Some even had hearings scheduled and still got deported into slavery.

    Now that he successfully tested the waters with this, I’m not so sure about trusting the rule of law in the US.
