Cool. I noticed that it only mentions convicted, pending conviction, or other immigration violations. It doesn't mention those that have no issues? Or is that what other immigration violations are (like visa over stayers etc).

    For starters: Australia requires all unauthorized asylum seekers, whether arriving by boat or overstaying visas, to be detained, often without a fixed time limit, in onshore or offshore facilities. Average detention has been over 500 days; some cases extend to years. Facilities on Nauru and Manus have drawn international condemnatio, including UN findings of "inhumane" conditions, rights violations, and long-term psychological harm, especially for children. Reports document abuse, selfharm, sexual violence, deaths, and restricted access to basic services and legal recourse.

    I am from Australia. It is much stricter than the US and has been for a while. They can detain and exile you to a detention island indefinitely, with much more undefined laws than the US has. The US is worse now than before, but it is no where near Nazi levels, and it's not even the worst country, like try protesting in Japan or something lol.

    I only mention this because comparing the US to the Nazi regime takes away from just how evil and authoritarian the Nazis were.
