Stop saying "deported" - start saying "black bagged" (www.reddit.com)

People like Andrys, the gay barber from Venezuela, did not get "deported".

Deportation means that he got sent back to his own country. Which he didn't. He got extrajudicially exiled to prison without due process.

People are being black-bagged by Trump's Gestapo. It's time to call it what it is.

"Funnily" enough, deportation is already a word few people dare to use in European (or at least french) politics because we don't associate it to sending back people to their own country, deportation is the term that was used to put jews on the trains to the concentration camps during WWII. It really doesn't sound like an euphemism at all to lots of people
