What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

‘This Is Worse’: Trump’s Judicial Defiance Veers Beyond the Autocrat Playbook The president’s escalating conflict with federal courts is even more aggressive than what happened in countries like Hungary and Turkey, experts say.

Steven Levitsky, a Harvard political scientist and coauthor of “How Democracies Die," compared Trump's first two months to actions in other countries that moved toward autocracy in this century and concluded it's "worse" here than any other place. “Honest to god, I’ve never seen anything like it."
