ICE arrested US-born citizen Julio Noriega. He spent most of the night in immigration detention.

But Noriega was lucky – he carried his Social Security card on him. If he didn’t, he could have been there much longer.

It’s important you understand this. The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation. This was done in defiance of our American courts that deemed the action illegal. They could be legal residents. They could be innocent bystanders. They could be asylum seekers. For all we know, they could be U.S. citizens. Now, they’re trapped in one of the most violent prisons on Earth, enduring brutality beyond what most of us can imagine. If you don’t find this morally repulsive, then you are morally repulsive.
