It was the ACS, composed of prominent white men, that founded Liberia as a colony where the US could send its free Black populace. While the ACS disavowed any official position on slavery, its members insisted that free Black people had no place in their body politic. Flash forward two centuries: Donald Trump is using mass deportation to plunge the US into a tin-pot fascist police state. Mass deportation follows the anti-Black blueprint that white colonizationists had laid a generation before. The United Kingdom still champions mass deportation, even after its misbegotten scheme to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.
