“What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” – U.S. Holocaust Museum, Holocaust Encyclopedia, “Concentration Camps”
“…nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” – 5th Amendment, United States Constitution
“Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.” – Article 6, Universal Declaration of Human Rights – December 10, 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A)
“Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.” – Article 16, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, General Assembly resolution 220A (XXI) of 16 December 1966, entry into force 23 March 1976, entered into force for the United States on September 8, 1992
“…On March 15, 2025, the United States removed Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from the United States to El Salvador, where he is currently detained in the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT). The United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal. The United States represents that the removal to El Salvador was the result of an ‘administrative error.’…” – SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, April 10, 2025

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Thanks to President Trump, the CECOT prison in El Salvador, which is home to some of the country’s most vicious criminals, now includes illegal immigrants who broke into our country and committed violent acts against Americans.
It is unconscionable that Democrats in Congress are urging the release of more foreign criminals back into our country.

Why does Jason Smith (r) hate the United States Constitution and due process of law?
Interestingly, Senator Chris Van Hollen (D) wasn’t allowed to visit the very same concentration camp.
