Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced earlier that Nayib Bukele, the president of Salvador, had “offered to home in his prison harmful American thieves in our state, including those with U.S. citizen and legal people.”
Rubio called Bukele’s sell” an act of unusual compassion for our state”.
Trump reportedly did not know Rubio had proposed the plan, but he immediately resigned and backed it, claiming that it would be more affordable to send violent criminals to different nations to be imprisoned as opposed to housed in the United States.
” These are ill people”, the president told reporters. ” We have various nations that would take them if we could get them out of our land.” They was. It’s the same as a prison system, but it’s much less costly and would greatly deter sending them to different nations.
Trump did accept that he was not certain if, officially, he could prison U. S. criminals worldwide.
” If we had the legal right to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat”, he said. ” I don’t know if we do or no. We’re considering that at this time, but we could strike deals to get these animals out of our nation.

Rubio is currently traveling through Latin America to explain the Trump administration’s immigration laws with foreign leaders, some of whom have criticized Trump’s efforts to bring unlawful immigrants back to their home countries.
The secretary of state noted that El Salvador may continue to home deported Salvadorans as well as any “any illegal alien from any citizenship” whether they were from MS-13 or Tren de Aragua, and they would also be able to do so in his prison.
