Summary
Donald Trump suggested deporting violent repeat American offenders to foreign countries willing to incarcerate them for a small fee.
The proposal, shared at a Republican retreat in Florida, has no legal precedent in the U.S. and would require new legislation.
Critics cite constitutional concerns, including the Eighth Amendment that prohibits “cruel and unusual punishments.”
The idea follows Trump’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration, which a recent poll shows has significant bipartisan support.
Hypothetical… what if this is a coup by say Vance, or any of his underlings. The fact is the constitutional crisis’s of arresting a sitting president are all defeated.
We then discover he’s not immune to being deported for his felonies… and trump walks down the street as they ring the bell and say “shame” over and over again.
I still get a bit of a feeling that Vance’s goal is to sabotage Trump. I know it’s unlikely that this will be a good thing, but from his previous stances on policies and such, I’m not completely ruling it out.
