sending people out of the country without hearings. People who have not even been legally accused of a crime. People who have been granted in court the right to stay here. A child, who is a US citizen, under treatment for life-threatening illnesses. People are not being sent to their home countries. They are being sent to random countries headed by authoritarian Strong Leaders. They are being incarcerated in those countries. He is sending people out of the country IN VIOLATION OF COURT ORDERS, and not allowing their return IN VIOLATION OF COURT ORDERS.

But he is not sending huge numbers of people out of the country.

I don't think that our authoritarian Strong Leader's main point is to deport people, or to discourage people from coming here for asylum, work, etc.

I think that our authoritarian Strong Leader's main point is to prove that he can do whatever to whomever, and no one can stop him.

As bad as kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to foreign prisons without hearings is, I think that our authoritarian Strong Leader's main point is even worse.
