The picture on the left is from when the prison first opened, so won't show any of the deportees

Oh hell. OTOH, I'd imagine we have no reason to think it's looking better these days.

Still, thanks for the correction, I took that as I found it.

Thanks to modern technology we can watch the whole thing unfold in real time!

It seems this new technology is not much benefit in stopping it? Observers are great, powerless and disorganized ones not so much.

Reminder that before all this El Salvador was sweeping up anyone and I mean anyone they found on the street during their sweeps and throwing them in huge overcrowded cells to await mass trials without representation.

Let's see what they look like 2 years in. The Buchenwald picture was taken at liberation.

Edit - also as someone else pointed out, although the picture is from the El Salvador camp, it is NOT a picture of the same group of people discussed in the article. I did not know that when I posted.
