flag Under Trump, U.S. immigration crackdown includes abductions, secret detentions, and transfers to foreign prisons, sparking resistance.

flag Since January 2025, under President Donald J. Trump’s administration, reports have surfaced of severe human rights abuses against immigrants in the U.S., including abductions, secret detentions, and extrajudicial transfers to foreign prisons like El Salvador’s CECOT. flag Incidents involve a father taken outside a San Diego school, a street vendor who disappeared, and a Venezuelan gay artist held for 125 days in a terrorism prison before a prisoner swap. flag These actions, described as mirroring 20th-century Latin American repression, reflect a broader system of control combining the prison and military industrial complexes through racialized logistics, algorithmic surveillance, and infrastructure tied to migration and dissent. flag Analysts cite Aimé Césaire’s “imperial boomerang” to argue that tactics of domination developed abroad are now being deployed domestically, reducing people to data points and commodities in a system rooted in colonial “thingification.” Resistance is growing as communities organize to protect vulnerable individuals and challenge state overreach.
