COL. Lawrence Wilkerson: Will Trump Deport Americans?

State-Sponsored Trafficking and Ethical Concerns

The conversation highlights the serious ethical implications of the current rendition practices in the U.S., comparing them to past actions taken during the Bush administration. There is an assertion that individuals are being forcibly taken from American streets and sent to foreign countries without due process, likening this to a form of state-sponsored human trafficking. The use of private airlines for transporting these detainees under conditions that violate standard imprisonment practices raises significant moral and legal questions. The exchange emphasizes the distress of flight attendants being forced to assist in such operations, underlining the broader societal and institutional complicity in these actions.
