To reiterate your point, ICE "has no authority to detain U.S. citizens, but has long done so, usually for hours or days, when officers mistake identities or can’t immediately verify citizenship."

10 months for this man, apparently for no other reason than because he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, and as a result of a "deeply entrenched delusional belief system," claims he was born in Jamaica. The amount of time and money, not to mention suffering, spent on this useless pursuit is disgraceful.

I usually think of trafficked being the successful moving of the victim to an endpoint like whatever shady ass nation takes in their victims they deport, like sex traffickers sending their sex slaves somewhere permanently. So in this case I think it’s fair to call him a torture slave or abuse slave in the middle of being trafficked between concentration camps to avoid having to release him back where they know he belongs, in fear that even sending him abroad would be too much for the receiving nation to handle or take on as kidnapping an American born citizen can lead to very very bad political outcomes.

I agree wholeheartedly. I also call them concentration camps in day to day life and I think phrasing it that way helps it click with some people. There will be financial records so every single person getting an ICE paycheck will be tracked down.
