It’s more complicated than that; they’ve shifted from domestic concentration camps to foreign concentration camps — so the first thing you’d have to deal with is international diplomacy.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You could divert a tiny fraction of military spending into ~~bribes~~ investments for these foreign countries.
Also an important step after getting everyone home would be ruthlessly punishing anyone even slightly responsible. Otherwise you're going to get the same shit all over again.
The worst part is that there are no records of some of this. We don't know where some of these people have been taken.
Use executive orders to undo everything. And with your last executive order, you ban all further executive orders.
just shut it down, ICE work for you and the Supreme Court has given you complete immunity.
Oh, you know that immunity will somehow get reinterpreted during the next non-Republican's term (if any) to not really apply going forward, but Trump will still be included.
Youd just sign an executive order and it'd be done. Might need to replace anybody who doesn't want to follow the order.
As annoying as it is, you're not wrong. Donald has demonstrated that the president can effectively rule by fiat, provided they're willing to fight for whatever it is they ordered, up to and including tanking the campaigns of people in their own party. (Which Democrats have never shown a willingness to do, unless you're a socialist.)
In order to create LASTING change, ideally, one needs Congress. That said, so much power is now invested in the presidency that you don't really need Congress for much.
Part of the problem is that you have a complicit Congress and Supreme Court. However, since the majority of Congress is the President's Party, Trump can operate in a vacuum and Congress won't push back. It also turns out that the people concerned about Supreme Court nominees were right.
If you're a Democrat you MUST go Throw Congress and Courts and Public Perception! If you're a REPUBLICAN you can Literally do WHATEVER you Want!
You could pardon them.
But they already shut down alligator Alcatraz.

The president of the US is the head of the federal executive branch. Anything done by the executive branch, you could undo, including release people detained by the executive branch. I don't know enough details about which illegally detained people you're referring to to answer the question more completely.
I didn't know AoC was on Lemmy! Hi! Wishing you all the best.
Well personally I'd create some kind of review board to identify who probably shouldn't be let go. I would be surprised if the net hasn't caught people who best not be walking our streets. Otherwise IMO, any deaths caused by the person after you let them go is on you for facilitating their release into the public.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are largely bad people, but blanket releases are stupid and dangerous. Expedience is key though so forming that board and getting them whatever they need would be high priority since every day they are detained is another day their family is without them.
Just a pedantic statement: you are posting on a world wide platform. As least, refer to which country you are talking about when asking the question. I know it’s clear from context, but it’s off-putting for all the others that are not in the US.
Edit: on one hand, I want to apologize, I definitely came in too strong and was a bit of a duche. Sorry. On the other, I am amused at the visceral reaction I got.
know it’s clear from context,
Then the obvious detail doesn't need to be explicitly written.
No it's not. What's off-putting is treating people like they're morons. Treating people like the lowest common denominator. That's what you're doing.
How many countries are there whose current (or recent) head of state or government is named "Trump"?
Too many.
speak for yourself. US politics is incredibly fun to get into as an outsider.
