The typical FOX News watcher assumes that criminals are bad guys by character, are caught red-handed and identified by a perfect means of detection, and still dress like The Hamburglar.
So no, they do not understand that a robust due process is the right of any given suspect before they are even fined (though a one-year sentence is usually the bar for a mandated jury trial, depending on the state / county), and this is a controversy in the US because a lot of people are not afforded their full rights, or are often coerced into surrendering rights by law enforcement who is more interested in putting a warm (brown-skinned) body in jail than actually seeing justice done.
In this era, no one is asking exactly whom CECOT is supposed to be imprisoning. Here in the US, our death row inmates are treated better, and US prisons are notoriously squalid for industrialized nations. CECOT is Edgar Allen Poe caliber cruel-and-unusual incarceration for tens of thousands who are allegedly worse than the people the US would execute.
Mara Salvatrucha members don’t deserve CECOT incarceration. Tren de Aragua members don’t deserve CECOT incarceration. So who was thinking what when the CECOT facility was built?
And then we’re sending people there for life who have mere visa infractions – a grossly disproportionate sentence – and the US is skipping the hearing before a judge.
So yeah, congratulations, United States, you’ve become one of the worst offenders of human atrocity… again.
