I have family members who used to own businesses in the garment district in LA. Immigration raids were routine. There are three big differences.
- The showmanship. They didn't make a spectacle with ICE agents in military gear. Trump is treating it as a reality show.
- In addition to the Salvadoran prison, they are sending people to Sudan and Libya. The family of a Vietnamese man was making preparations for his life in Vietnam after he was released from prison. Now he is in Sudan and nobody knows how to locate him.
- Deportations are DOWN while detention is up. Trump's buddies private prison owners are making a killing.
