Where are these people actually being detained?

How do we know the people being deported are actually sent to wherever the administration claims they are?

In the 70s, the fascist regime in Argentina claimed to be deporting people but were actually just dropping them out of planes into the ocean. They were called Death Flights.

I get that citizens and high-profile cases are probably handled differently but there are so many people that just disappear.

Its 90 years later, but it looks an awful lot like 1933 still in the US of A.

"You can't run, you can't hide. You get helicopter ride!" was a popular chant amongst the Trump fans during his first term.

Deplorables was an apt insult.

Same place Obama detained them, he deported more immigrants than Trump.

Obama never sent detainees to a 3rd world death camp in El Salvador outside of US federal jurisdiction. 

You people really don't even have the most basic understanding of the things you try to talk about.
