    Makes you wonder how many US citizens have already been “Administratively errored” to El Salvador.

    New rules.

    Are you brown? Do you primarily speak a language other than English? Do you have a common but ethnic name like Gomez? Are you a Chicago Bulls fan? Do you have any kind of marking or birthmark on you that someone could claim is a secret gang tattoo? Do you have a name similar to or even live near anybody who fits any of the above criteria?

    If the answer to one or more of those questions is “yes”, I wouldn’t be leaving the house. You can literally find yourself on a plane destined for El Salvador literally before your family even realizes you haven’t made it home from work yet, because the new rules are that as long as they can stick you on that plane and get that plane in the air before a judge can say something, they get to get away with it and you have no recourse. Good luck ever speaking to anyone who even speaks English ever again, let alone family.

    What’s scary is that that is not hyperbole.
