A history of deporting US citizens: Trump isn’t the first to do it  

When President Donald Trump emphasized earlier this month that “Homegrowns are next” for illegal disappearance to prisons in El Salvador, critics were horrified at the blatantly unconstitutional ideas being thrown around by the president. After this administration blatantly ignored a Supreme Court order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home, many are questioning whether there is any line the Trump administration will not cross. This isn’t the first time the deportation of citizens has been a hot-button issue within the US. As much as it is being treated as a final destination, a potential crossing of the Rubicon for this administration that is somehow both unimaginably impossible and dreadfully unstoppable, it really is not that far out of the norm for this nation.
