I know america is fascist now and that should be common knowledge at this point, but this guy literally got disappeared into the ~~mega prison~~ concentration camp in el Salvador because he wanted to show support for his autistic brother.

No trial, no reason given.

I seriously do not have the words for how sick this makes me feel.
