Zoe Alexandra, Editor of Peoples Dispatch, joins to discuss the Trump administration’s deportation of over 250 Venezuelan migrants to a notoriously torturous mega-prison in El Salvador, after paying $6 million to President Nayib Bukele.
Forcibly removed from the country and stripped of due process, Alexandra explains the politics behind the inhumane policy.
“Venezuelan migrants are being rounded up because they have tattoos, deported to a 3rd country, where their rights are unclear,” says @ZoPepperC, “All of this is completely uncharted territory”
