CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000.
There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today.
Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.
If you refuse to do the slave labor while in jail for a year before your trial you can be put into solitary confinement as a punishment.
During this solitary confinement for refusing to do slave labor while innocent, you can lose visitation rights, and lose your right to access your attorney.
The Trump admin says that people can avoid CECOT by voluntarily giving up their rights to be in the US and self-deporting, even when there's no legal basis for deporting them.
All US admins say that innocent Black men can avoid the harms of prison and jail by "confessing" to crimes they didn't do.
This thread is not to minimize the horrors of CECOT.
This thread is to say that I wish more people knew about and cared about how many innocent Black people have had their lives destroyed by the exact same horrors.
This tears Black families apart.
As I've said before, racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.

️@mekkaokereke I agree with everything that you said except one thing: Racism is racism and it is horrible. Fascism leverages racism and other things to destroy a democracy. It is a political technique that results in an oligarchy or functional dictatorship. This is what Mussolini used it for in Italy. This is what Hitler used it for in Germany. This is what the FFOTUS Trump is trying to use it for in the United States. Other than the misuse of that term, I agree with you 100% and I wish more people knew what the U.S. state and federal governments are doing that is predatory and racist. (AND some of it is not new, it's been going on since US Civil War.)

1) I said what I said. Racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.
2) Don't argue with me about whether fascism was perfected on Black people first, and based on US racism and ethnic cleansing. Argue with Hitler himself. He based his fascism on US racism, according to his own words and plans. Hitler himself and his fascists based the Nuremberg laws on US Jim Crow. He invaded the Soviet Union because he wanted to disposses non-Aryan Europeans from Ukraine to use it as "living space" for his people, in the exact same way that the US had stolen land from native Americans in California and other states to produce the "amber fields of grain," that we so often brag about. His concentration camps and ethnic cleansing plans were inspired by US reservations and extermination of Native Americans.

Though German colonial expansion fantasies portraying Eastern Europe as analogous to the American "Wild West" started quite some time before Hitler.
(When certain people talk about alleged "racism against white people", they somehow never mean the racism of Western Europeans against Eastern Europeans...)
