What maybe confuses me is that the word deportation to me already has an intensely negative ring to it. Here in the Netherlands, if we hear the word deportation, I think most people instantly think of the Nazi-regime. Therefor I see no need for any other word to show how it’s actually awful. But perhaps the situation in the US is different when it comes to what associations are stuck to these words.
It’s also “sponsored flights”
You can twist words however you want. These aren’t deportations, it’s literally the first stage of ethnic cleansing
The spirit of the thing is what determines what word we use, not the definition of the word
