The US government paying El Salvador to warehouse deportees from other nations could spark a wave of innovation in the developing field of Human Rights Violations as a Service (HRVaaS), a sector that some analysts believe could grow to generate hundreds of billions of dollars by the mid-2030s.

@angusm Britain tried with Rwanda. Ahead of its time. Perhaps Israel will pull it off... they have the scale

@angusm You missed Australia pioneering the practice on Nauru ("offshore processing") and the UK Conservative party's abortive attempt to deport refugees to Rwanda: this hasn't come out of nowhere, it's the right wing shitehawks picking up each others' best practices.

@cstross @angusm And Italy attempting to deport refugees to Albania (and Starmer talking to the Italian PM thinking it's a great idea - not just the Conservatives you know...)

@Uilebheist @angusm Starmer is an utter shit. I find him less forgivable than the recent Tory PMs, because he's got the background to know better.

@angusm

GWB did "extraordinary renditions" where he would transfer captives to other countries where they would be tortured.
