Nice article, but it's a little depressing that we even have to have articles explaining the basic logic of due process. You would think people would have internalized the concept that 'punishing innocent people without a fair trial is bad' but here we are. Unfortunately, the people who need to hear that are unlikely to read this article or consider its thesis.

I agree with what you said, but I think you left off another, vital, concern: that these accused Venezuelan gang members were not deported. Deportation means sending them back to their country of origin. Venezuela didn't refuse to accept them. They are being sent to one of the most notorious prison/torture centers in the world, and there is no mechanism for them to ever be released. Did the people really vote to do that to illegal migrants, whether innocent or guilty alike?
