Wie bitte? ICE führt womöglich #Deathflights durch? Na das passte ja dann zu #Konzentrationscamps und all dem anderen Nazischice den die da grad durchziehen.
Es ist Zeit die Beziehungen neu zu bewerten. Das sind keine Freunde mehr. Und ich will die auch nicht mehr militärisch im Land haben. -

#TIL about #DeathFlights.
I find it very chilling how the last part of the entry regards the United States all-right using them as threats.
“Some alt-right commenters use the phrase "free helicopter rides" to euphemistically refer to murdering political opponents (usually socialists, liberals, and progressives), particularly opponents of President Donald Trump, notably in reference to Pinochet's death squads.”

Where I lived for most of the last decade in Uruguay, I became much more aware of the outrage of the dictaduras there, and in Chile, Argentina, and other regional neighbors. All at least indirectly supported by my country of citizenship, USA. Uruguay had some of its own "death flights" as well as some of its citizens sent to Argentina to perish there.
But unlike Uruguay with its Law of Impunity, sheltering from justice many of its dictadura criminal leaders and followers, Argentina has the legal right to pursue justice. Discovery of where this one of the "death planes" now was, helped convict some of the air crews who pushed people out to their deaths in the South Atlantic Ocean. Its return to Argentina for its Museum of Memory may help with closure, at least for some.
