Outsourcing Suffering: America's Hidden Human Rights Crisis
Description
The United States has begun shipping immigrants to El Salvador's notorious Cecot prison without due process or legal hearings. This video examines how the practice of "outsourcing suffering" allows governments to violate human rights while keeping the consequences conveniently out of sight and mind.
When the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to expel nearly 300 Venezuelans to El Salvador, they did more than violate individual rights—they tested a dangerous new strategy. By moving human rights abuses beyond our borders, officials create both legal and psychological distance from responsibility.
This isn't just about immigration policy—it's about how easily rights can disappear when violations happen somewhere else, to people we've been taught not to see as fully human.
