Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

From the time I was in high school, it was drilled into my head to protect my social security number from anyone and even though I was very diligent about doing so, my identity was stolen anyhow. The last thing I want is for a group of teenagers and their adult lover to access it
