Summary

Trump expressed support for sending American citizens to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, praising President Bukele’s tough-on-crime stance.

The U.S. already deported 238 Venezuelans there under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, despite federal judges calling the transfers unlawful and ordering returns.

Trump said he’d be “honored” to send repeat U.S. offenders abroad if legal. Critics, including judges and rights advocates, condemned the plan as unconstitutional and authoritarian.

Legal experts warn no U.S. law permits outsourcing American incarceration, raising serious due process and human rights concerns.

      As long as you follow it with, “in sports,” it makes it okay to say, “there should be no trans people”.

      It’s a slippery slope, Murca.

        Someone saw the latest John Oliver! Really great video, I’m glad high profile allies like him still exist for the sake of my American trans friends.
