🚨 BREAKING: US Secretary of State announces that will take both (a) deportees of any nationality, and (b) US citizen prisoners. (!)

"The US is essentially proposing to send people to a country that is not the country of origin nor is it necessarily the country that they passed through. It's not rooted in any sort of legal provision and likely violates a number of international laws relating to the rights of migrants."

But above all else, we’re a bunch of grudge holding motherfuckers. You’ve taken your shot at us, so now we won’t rest until we get you back. And not just with the big, tariff stuff. Get ready for a whole bunch of small, ultimately inconsequential but still pretty annoying moves from us.”

Concentration camp time.
