To be fair, they're not disappearing anyone.

They don't need to, because the US has a finely honed system of railroading.

They push captured migrants through the system to deportation via a "rocket docket" and our rubber stamp justice system.

The system being discussed simply allows them to lay their hands on more migrants to feed that existing quick deportation pipeline.

It's worse than disappearing people. Disappearing people implies they need to hide what they're doing from an objectionable public. Clearly, the people currently in power are blessed with a constituency they don't need to hide from.
