    Why send him to a prison at all? I get that they may have grounds to send him anywhere except El Salvador, but why does it have to be a prison? From what I know, he wasn’t detained for any crime, other than being undocumented. So send him to a country that will receive him, and release him. It doesn’t have to be some terrible prison Hell.

      They want to make an example of him. Their goal is for everyone to fear them.

      They’re trying to be Machiavellian. In The Prince, he wrote that weak rulers are loved and strong rulers are feared.

      What they forget is that he wrote that worst of all was to be hated.
