Trump Says He’s “All For” Sending American Citizens To El Salvador


“If they’re criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over the head that happen to be 90 years old and if, uh, if they rape 87-year-old women in Brooklyn, yeah, yeah, that includes them,” he added.

“They’re as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too.”

Trump previously suggested that people who vandalize Teslas as a protest against the company’s billionaire CEO Elon Musk should also be sent to El Salvador.

The reporter asked the question after Trump encouraged Bukele to build several more detention facilities and even offered to help pay for them, praising them as “great facilities, very strong facilities.”

Conditions at the megaprison are notoriously brutal. Juanita Goebertus, the director of the Americas Division of Human Rights Watch, testified last month under penalty of perjury that people there are denied communication with their relatives and lawyers; that people are tried en masse by the hundreds; and that some prisoners are held in solitary confinement cells that are completely dark.

A livestream of the full meeting on Bukele’s social media accounts appeared to capture the two leaders discussing the plan in more detail.
