It has not. We have never previously sent immigrants to foreign concentration camps. There were internment camps which were bad enough during the war, but we're now kidnapping people, sending them to El Salvador, and locking them up for life.

People here really seem to like ignoring that part for some reason. That is a very real line that had not previously been crossed.
Especially the part about “we imprisoned legal residents of the US in a foreign country without due process and now can’t do anything about it, even though the Supreme Court told us we have to return them to the USA, because, whoops, they are imprisoned in a foreign country!” bit.
Can't do anything to bring them back, yet keep sending more people there.

Here's a riddle for everyone. What do you call a prison where people go in without trial, never come out, and there's always room for more?

Have they sent more?
