That’s the fatal flaw – okay, a fatal flaw – in this whole “if you don’t want to send the terrorist gang member rapist thighs like cantaloupes types to CECOT then you’re soft on crime” bullhockey in the first place.
If they’re such, how did the patient put it, bad hombres, then surely any halfway competent (okay, I see the issue there) prosecutor ought to be able to put them away for hard time at a federal prison without much effort, right?
Surely our courts and our prisons have dealt with stuff as bad as this before, right?
In fact, you can draw a straight line to where we are now from the freakout when Obama wanted to shut down Gitmo and move the inmates to U.S. federal prisons and courts.
Our prisons, specifically those for allegedly-violent non-white inmates are not exactly resort camps to begin with. The idea that you could have some Bin Ladinist terrorist type who is so dangerous, even in 24x7 closely supervised incarceration, that we do not dare let him set foot on U.S. soil – even if every square inch of that soil is controlled by US DoD and/or DoJ – lest he bring down another Manhattan skyscraper with his mind, is just stupid.
It’s also letting the terrorists win. By allowing yourself to be terrorized beyond any reasonable bounds.
The first thing any liar says is some version of “I will not lie to you” or “I cannot tell a lie”. That’s the tell: they are cons and liars without any awareness and will lie to you constantly and without guilt just like they lie to themselves. They don’t know why and never will. An aspect of evil.
Which is yet another reason why our election “system” is so hella hard to hack. The fever swamp narrative of an algorithm, or an Italian military satellite, or Chinese bamboo fibers or whatever, “flipping” vote totals is just completely unmoored from any resemblance to reality.
There is no one single database to “flip” votes on. There are thousands.

I recall a bit in Kissinger’s memoirs (which I bought from a used bookstore, on general principles), in which he described a complaint from the Israelis that the Egyptian forces were violating the cease-fire because their SAM defense radars were locking on to Israeli military aircraft as they flew their attack runs.
Henry said, “such are the mysteries of a cease-fire in the Middle East.”
Memo to all involved parties: “cease fire” means that you frigging stop shooting!
