    How long until they make a deal with the Salvadoran government to have partial territorial control of the prison land so that it’s not actually deportation? Please someone take the lathe away, my thoughts are too dangerous

      I worry that “deportation” is more solidly within the Overton window than “indefinitely detained”.

      “Deportation” implies that someone is free to live anywhere else. “Indefinitely detained” implies that that person is sitting in a cell somewhere.
