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.
It begins (not really, I mean it began a long time ago ((couple months)))
… if he can send people to black sites that are non citizen without due process, what’s to stop him from sending citizens…

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It’s in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by…well, you get it.
I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I’ll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.
Is 34 felony convictions enough to qualify?
I has the same idea! What a coincidence. It’s gotta be cheaper to put him down there, cheaper for everyone.
Next stop is to label trans people “repeat offenders” for using a restroom
It’s the plan. They already have been trying to make trans people existence a sex crime
As long as you follow it with, “in sports,” it makes it okay to say, “there should be no trans people”.
It’s a slippery slope, Murca.
Someone saw the latest John Oliver! Really great video, I’m glad high profile allies like him still exist for the sake of my American trans friends.
Even the California governor jumped in on that
You mean the same person who spent many thousands out of pocket in an effort to kill 5 minority children, found out they were innocent via DNA, and had no regrets, is a sociopathic piece of shit that no execution method is too extreme for? No way
I’m out of the loop on this one
He’s American himself, soooo… What are you all waiting for?
Legal experts warn no U.S. law permits outsourcing American incarceration
More importantly, are there any laws banning outsourcing American incarceration? Because they don’t need a law to allow it, they just there to not be a law banning it.
More importantly, are there any laws banning outsourcing American incarceration?
Yes. The US Constitution:
- Fifth Amendment (prohibits imprisonment without due process and indictment by a grand jury)
- Sixth Amendment (enumerates rights entailed in due process for any criminal facing prosecution)
- Eighth Amendment (“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”)
The Eighth is the most clearly in play, supposing the courts actually follow the US Constitution, which they’ve been flagrantly ignoring for several decades (ex. there is no good faith interpretation of the Fourth Amendment that allows civil asset forfeiture or compelling anyone in the US to unlock a smartphone or surrender it for cloning, nor for the Fifth and Sixth which allow removing individuals to a military base to be held without trial).
Trump is a repeat offender. Can you imagine him being sent to those prisons? He wouldn’t even make it past the first day.
Da belle of da ball.
He’s sending people there with less it’s a(nother) mistake waiting to go off.
He should lead by example
Of course he does. He’s a sociopath.
Why are these judges not issuing arrest orders for those involved in denying their edicts? We all know the melting orange isn’t personally putting people on planes (he never personally does anything except drive a golf cart and eat hamberders), so surely the people involved in openly defying judges can be arrested, no?
He famously can’t drive. They won’t let him behind the wheel of a golf cart for etiquette and safety violations.
They’ve either been bought or know they’ll be next if they step out of line.
This shit right here is why need a well-regulated militia
The 2nd amendment was meant for anyone who would try to take away the 1st amendment. Or any of the others.
I would say that he said the quiet part out loud, but he has been saying the quiet part this whole time.
OK, lets start with deporting himself.
I think all felons pending sentencing should be extradicted to El Salvador as well.
You serious, my dude?
Maybe I should have been specific to just the overly orange tanned obese wannabe men.
He did get sentenced. His sentence was unconditional discharge. The only negative repercussion is that he is officially a convicted felon.
