Before a judge ruled against the imprisonment, the White House has revealed how much the United States paid to El Salvador to get the Tren de Aragua crew members who were deported on Sunday. This is a controversial show of Donald Trump’s continuing imprisonment drive.
As his administration received 238 members of the Cuban legal organization,” The United States will give a very small fee for them, but a great one for us,” said Salvador president Nayib Bukele.
According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the US paid around$ 6 million for the incarceration of these extremists.” And I would point out that is pennies on the dollar in comparison to the cost of living, and the price it would impose on the American tax to house these jihadists in maximum security prison below in the United States of America,” Leavitt said.
Will the deportation be challenged?
The Trump administration was ordered by US district judge James Boasberg to stop its deportations, but the Trump administration claimed that the planes had already flown over the US and that the US-imposed deportation order had already been issued. Trump used the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport the members of the gang that had recently risen in popularity in several US states.
The judge urged the aircraft to turn back if they were already in the air. According to a New York Times article, none of the aircraft involved did land in El Salvador before the judge’s order, and one of them did not even leave the country at the time.
El Salvador consented to transport the gang members to the notorious Terrorism Confinement Center, where the worst of the worst gang members are housed, and gave them horrifying treatment. Inmates can leave their cells for 30 minutes to exercise, read the Bible, and take part in online court proceedings if they wish to. They are locked for 23.5 hours a day. No visits are made to the prisoners there, and there are no workshops offered there to help them re-enter society after their time is up.
