I get that MS-13 is made up of bad people. But they are still people. Dehumanizing language leads to treating people inhumanely. And, no, I don't think even the baddest of the bad deserve inhumane treatment.

There’s also a meaningful portion of Trump’s base that sees no distinction between MS-13 and other immigrants. Trump described immigrants as rapists. - pmb May 16, 20:33
