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.
Why are these judges not issuing arrest orders for those involved in denying their edicts? We all know the melting orange isn’t personally putting people on planes (he never personally does anything except drive a golf cart and eat hamberders), so surely the people involved in openly defying judges can be arrested, no?
He famously can’t drive. They won’t let him behind the wheel of a golf cart for etiquette and safety violations.
They’ve either been bought or know they’ll be next if they step out of line.
