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.
Has everyone forgotten about Guantanamo? There are probably people there still who just got caught up in “911” sweeps for all we know. Even if they say they’ve moved or transferred all of them.
And this is why you speak up for overall human rights when it doesn’t affect you. I mean beyond just “being a good person” reasoning.
They are expanding Gitmo, with a new 30,000 prisoner facility, which is almost 4 times larger than our current largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average. They are about to add a LOT of American Terrorists.
Gitmo currently holds about 120, and they are the 9/11 people you mentioned. .
