"Bukele, 43, indicated that he will charge the US a “relatively low” fee if it decides to use his nation’s notorious 40,000-person capacity maximum-security prison."

Ah, there's always a catch......by the time President Trump gets through with him, he'll be paying US to take 'em.

I don’t like the “fee” thing. The whole point of throwing José out on his ass is to be done with Jose. Jose is worth exactly nada here, and nada in El Salvador so thanks but no thanks.

Good deal!
The only problem, I see here, is that the leftist will take over El Salvador sometime and release them all!
There are many lefties in El Salvador.

Would this classify as export or import?
Maybe extradition. Complicated.

The only downside would be if power changed there. Paying is reasonable and much cheaper than our prisons I’d think. Want a good read look up the unbelievable crime rate drop since this place opened in El Salvador

That is the difference between Bukele and Biden. Biden chose to place them in the general population.

But this isn’t just criminal Salvadorians.

If they’re willing to subcontract to hold dangerous criminals, it’s certainly an option worth considering.

I watched the Tucker Carlson interview with Bukele and saw a you tube documentary of his prison system. THey aren’t messing around.

And El Salvador is a small, somewhat impoverished country that Bukele has turned around. If he’s willing, I’d say go for it, but monitor them closely anyways.

“ even though they’re US citizens ”

US citizens?
Not sure that’s a good idea to send US citizens to a third world hellhole.
When a Dem is back in power, do we want Jan 6th type protestors sent to this hellhole ?

I had thought that maybe this would be a good idea. We could even share the cost of building additional prison facilities in El Salvador, too. It would be cheaper than housing them all in US prisons and they would not keep sneaking back in.

Wow, I went to a leftist site and they are screaming that this proof Trump is a Nazi. He is going to send all the blacks and other people into the El Salvador “gulags” to cement his power.

Marvelous, just the threat alone of going to an El Salvador prison should encourage migrants to head back home.

We pay our jails to keep prisoners why not his? That’s actually not a bad price and we get them out of our country so some liberal person can’t turn around and let them out in a few years.

All Trump 2.0 needs to do is publicize “Leave Now or if we catch you doing a crime, you get a plane ride to paradise”

“The president of El Salvador on Monday offered to house convicted US citizens in his country’s “mega-prison” and take in deported criminal illegal migrants of any nationality…”

Man this ought to scare the hell out of these setbacks!

If that doesn’t deter them from crime, nothing will.
