Trump is Sending U.S. Citizens to CONCENTRATION CAMPS


Convicted Felon, Donald Trump is paying El Salvador to imprison and reportedly end the lives of U.S. citizens. But you're not the only one noticing the similarities to Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

In the New York Harbor, there is a small piece of land called Ellis Island. When it opened in 1900, it served as the first stop immigrants from around the world stopped at to become U.S. citizens. Over the years, over 12 million immigrants, or about 16% of our country’s population at the time, including my great-grandparents, went through Ellis Island with the hope of living the American dream.


After signing all their paperwork and getting a health check, immigrants were taken on a ferry to either New York or New Jersey but by law, every boat of new American citizens first traveled a mile downriver to stop at the Statue of Liberty. Lawmakers at the time thought it was critical that every new citizen hear the message written on the statue, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"


Fast forward 125 years and mass deportations are a campaign slogan for the Republican Party and a debate topic for Democrats. During his campaign, Convicted Felon Donald Trump promised to make mass deportations a key issue in his second term. It was printed on signage at the Republican National Convention last year and was one of the key things promised in Trump's Project 2025 manifesto.


I understand that Ellis Island was part of a system to help immigrants come here legally and become citizens but it's important to understand, that process has long been broken. A process done in one day back in 1900 now makes immigrants wait 5 years or more to even have their case heard. And many of the places immigrants come from are dangerous with immigrants fleeing their home for asylum here since their home country would execute them for being a woman, gay, trans, or a wide range of other reasons.


Immigration lawyers we spoke to this week say this broken system is why immigrants choose to flee for their safety now and worry about the legal consequences later because at least then, they would have their lives. Immigrants now cross a border, peacefully get detained by Border Patrol, and are allowed to stay in the U.S. while their cases are being processed as long as they show up to court on their scheduled date.


To be fair, there are flaws in this system including an app which has major glitches, long waiting times, and immigrants not showing up to court on their scheduled date. But my point is, they aren't coming here because they just felt like upending their whole lives and starting new with $20 in their pocket. They're coming here for safety.


With that said, immigrants do cause some pressure on already-strained systems like healthcare, SNAP programs, housing, and workers' compensation, among others. But they do also serve a benefit to the U.S. because many of them work jobs Americans are unwilling to work in conditions that OSHA would shut businesses down for.


Politicians love to display their deportation numbers. In his 8 years in office, President Obama deported more than 4.8 million people. During his first term, convict Donald Trump deported 1.5 million. President Biden deported 1.49 million. And in just 3 months in 2025, Trump has deported 47,928 people as of this taping.


But there are two important distinctions between any other president, including Trump in his first term, and what is happening now. First, nothing that is being done now is legal in any way, shape, or form. And second, we're only just beginning to see which laws are being broken with likely many more discoveries to come when the next president undoubtedly instructs the DOJ to investigate this whole mess we’re living through now.


So, let's start from his campaign promise. Trump said his goal is to deport more than 20 million people from the United States during this second term despite the fact that experts agree, their largest and most progressive estimate of undocumented immigrants living in the country is only 11 to 12 million people. This means, Trump admitted his plans to deport at least 8 million legal U.S. citizens and he said it on the campaign trail, before he was elected.



But talking aside, Trump is already deporting legal U.S. citizens and sending them to El Salvador. To best explain this, we're going to look at four examples from those 47,900. This is Andry Hernandez Romero, a gay makeup artist who fled Venezuela in 2024 because while it is not illegal to be gay there, gay people are charged with "lewd conduct" and "sound pollution" to put them in prison anyway and these charges are never filed on straight people.


He traveled over 60 miles through the forests of Colombia and Panama to seek asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico. Since being here, he had no criminal record and was reportedly, trying to work as a makeup artist to earn a living here. But he didn't show up to court for his trial this year, not because he was trying to skip it but because ICE agents abducted him and sent him to El Salvador three weeks ago. Meaning, his asylum case was never heard in U.S. court.


This is the last known photo of Mr. Romero seen here begging for his life and to see his mother one last time.


Second, we have to talk about Kilmar Abrego Garcia who came to the U.S. in 2011 and was granted citizenship by U.S. immigration courts in 2019. Keep in mind, it took him 8 years to have his case heard in court but finally, the court ruled he should never be sent back to his home country and granted him asylum and citizenship.


Now, 6 years later, he lived happily with his wife and his 5-year old child in Maryland. But on March 15th of this year, Trump directed ICE agents to abduct Garcia and they sent him back to El Salvador despite a court order not to. In their filings about the case, the Trump administration has called his deportation an "administrative error" with both Trump and the dictator of El Salvador saying they have no way of returning Garcia to his family in Maryland.


Just this week, a U.S. Senator from Maryland went to El Salvador, knocked on the door of the prison, and was denied by the vice president of El Salvador from meeting with Garcia in person to prove he is still alive as even Congress fears Garcia was killed by El Salvador’s dictator.


Third, let's look at Mohsen Mahdawi, a student at Columbia University in Vermont. He was born in the West Bank, came to America to study philosophy, and was working towards his master's degree. In 2023, he protested for the Territory of Palestinian People on campus but then backed away from the protest when those protests started advocating for Hamas, a terrorist organization, rather than the people living in the West Bank.


He claims he stepped back before the encampment protests because he wanted to see a peaceful solution to the Middle East, not the violence those protests became. But he had a green card and was on his way to his naturalization hearing when ICE agents detained him and are now looking to deport him to the West Bank, something he says would be a death sentence because he's advocated for peace in the region and the government there doesn't agree.


Lastly, we have to discuss Rumeysa Ozturk who is a Turkish national with a green card to study at Tufts University in Somerville, Massachusetts. The Trump administration says while she was here legally, she wrote an opinion piece for the school paper condemning the university on their reactions to the Territory of Palestinian People and this somehow gives them the right to deport her, even though she is protected under U.S. free speech laws.


But when ICE agents went to detain her, 6 ICE agents just walked up to her on the street and forced her into their vehicle before taking her away. Surveillance video shows all six officers are wearing plain clothes with nothing to present themselves as officers of the law. All 6 of them are covering their faces and did not identify themselves as officers nor tell her what she was being detained for or where she was going.


And look, I have been very vocal of my support of Israel's right to defend itself against terrorist organizations as I have done advocating for Ukraine and others. But regardless of how you feel about one issue or another, free speech means the government cannot punish you for peacefully protesting those beliefs. And in my opinion, abducting someone on the street and trying to deport them is a very harsh punishment.


So, if these deportations are not legal, then why not just send them to court? First, not everyone can afford a lawyer to defend themselves. Even if you could, law firms handling cases defending immigrants have had their offices raided by the FBI under the direction of Donald Trump. As part of their raids, the FBI is confiscating any and all computers and files relating to the immigration cases so lawyers literally have nothing to walk into court with to help their clients.


But in the U.S. you can have a court-appointed attorney assigned to you if you can't afford one. Well, not if you're sent to El Salvador before it makes it to trial. And even when it goes to court, winning apparently means nothing. Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 9 to 0 unanimous ruling (which is unheard of nowadays) that Trump had no legal right to deport Mr. Garcia, the Maryland father we spoke about a moment ago. Keep in mind, this means Judges Alito and Clarence Thomas ruled against Trump which they have never done before to our knowledge. SCOTUS ordered Trump to bring him back to the United States but Trump refused this court order.


Some constitutional lawyers argue SCOTUS or Congress could send the military to arrest Trump if he does not comply, which has never happened to a sitting or former president before but others argue SCOTUS already ruled in July 2024 that presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for anything they themselves deem as an "official act".



While a majority of people think this is a law, it is not. State and local law enforcement officers are only required to identify themselves in Alaska, California, Oregon, and Pennsylvania but that does not cover federal agents such as ICE agents conducting operations in those states.


This does leave a legal grey area because citizens are legally allowed to protect either themselves and/or fellow citizens on the street if they see someone getting abducted. It begs the question, what happens when, not if, a citizen tries to protect themselves or someone else from unmarked ICE agents abducting them? Would they be charged with terminating a law enforcement officer or would it be ruled self defense since the officer didn’t identify themselves first?


No matter how it’s ruled in court later, someone is going to get hurt eventually if these abductions continue. This situation is becoming more dangerous with every abduction because we have no idea who is going to be abducted next. Even legal U.S. citizens are not safe from abduction and deportation. We have no idea who is an ICE agent because they are not identifying themselves in any way.


And real gangs are taking advantage of the situation with many missing person cases coming back right now as not conducted by ICE agents. So, gangs and criminal enterprises are dressing up in black masks and abducting people because right now, they look like ICE agents doing the same thing.




But I have to ask, how is a child meant to know the difference between a bad buy wearing a black mask with a gun and a supposedly good guy with a black mask and gun abducting their best friend sitting next to them? But the Trump administration says they're abducting children in schools because it deters families from coming to the United States because they'll deport your child from school, forcing you to deport yourself to go save your child.


It could be legally argued that you have every right to shoot and terminate someone if they are trying to abduct you or someone around you as long as you have a permit to carry a weapon of that kind, if your state requires it. Teachers have the right in some states to carry weapons and they too would have a legal argument to protect their students from heavily armed, masked, unmarked men abducting children without saying a word or providing any kind of warrant.


But you might notice, a majority of these cases are being sent to El Salvador and that begs the question, why? Well, it's because Trump has directed the State Department to pay El Salvador's dictator and government $6 Million to imprison everyone our country deports.


With this many deportations, many families are wondering where their loved ones are being taken to in El Salvador. As it turns out, a majority of them are being taken to a maximum security prison in El Salvador named Cecot. But mysteriously, after satellite photos emerged of Cecot this week, Google Earth blurred the entire area of Cecot prison so you cannot see the area. These pictures are easy to find if you search for them but we cannot show you the "un-blurred" version because YouTube deems it as too graphic which is interesting because YouTube is owned by Google.


Now, why would Google blur the images? Well, it's because many experts have examined the photos and identified huge mounds of what appeared to be human bodies stacked with red liquid surrounding them. And remember, Google's CEO attended Trump's inauguration so some people have speculated this literal blurring of the lines to be assisting Trump in covering up his crimes.


But why El Salvador? Well, according to U.S. law, none of the people being deported have to be tried or convicted in court here in the States if they are moved to another country first. And I know some of my fellow history buffs out there might have some alarm bells going off right now in your head.



So, this has gone way past Trump saying Nazis are "very fine people" and it’s become what appears to be a copycat recreation of the rise to power Hitler had in Germany before World War II. All that's missing are the pink triangles.


No matter copycat or not, it's a very scary time to live in the United States especially with many in Trump's White House leaking that Trump will declare martial law on April 20th, the day his first executive orders expire from a 90 day limit. Martial law allows him to replace the civilian government with military rule. Trump's been talking a lot about declaring it to deport more people but even Trump has said he won't be deporting just illegal immigrants anymore.


And back to my fellow history buffs out there, you're not the only one to notice the craziness of the White House rumoring this declaration of martial law on April 20th. For those who may not know, April 20th is also Adolf Hitler's birthday.


My point is, please call upon your representatives and senators to impeach this terrorist from the Oval Office. You might not agree people should be able to get asylum or you may not agree with everything protesters said at one rally or another but nothing of what is being done right now is legal. People are getting hurt and some may already be dying in El Salvador if the examinations of these images turn out to be true. We can disagree on deportation but no matter how you feel, there is a legal way to do it that everyone has followed for decades. This is clearly not it.


Stay safe out there and someone in Congress, please grow some balls and impeach this Nazi copycat. And next time a Vice President compares their presidential candidate to Hitler, maybe we should believe them.
