'Homegrowns are next': Trump hopes to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad

He knows just how to troll you Libtards And you fall for it every time. 

 

President Trump says his administration is actively exploring a proposal to detain U.S. citizens and send them to prisons in El Salvador. Speaking Monday, minutes before a press briefing alongside El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, Trump could be heard embracing the concept.

"The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You've got to build about five more places," Trump said to Bukele, an apparent reference to prison space that would be needed in El Salvador to house U.S. citizens.

El Salvador is already holding hundreds of people in a maximum-security prison. They were flown from the U.S. in recent weeks after being detained for allegedly lacking legal status or having gang affiliations.

Critics say many of those individuals were deported with limited or no due process, some in defiance of court orders by U.S. judges.

Responding to Trump on Monday, Bukele suggested his country is prepared to incarcerate U.S. citizens. "Yeah, we've got space," El Salvador's president said.

The proposal has drawn condemnation from some legal scholars, who said it would represent an unprecedented encroachment on the civil liberties of U.S. citizens.

I'd do it in a heartbeat"

This isn't the first time this idea has come up since Trump took office. Posting on the social media platform X in February, El Salvador's Bukele said his country has "offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system."

"We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee," Bukele added, posting photographs of densely packed inmates crouched with hands on their heads.

His post was amplified the same day by Trump ally Elon Musk, who described the proposal as a "Great idea!!" Speaking about the concept in February, Trump said: "I'd do it in a heartbeat."

Asked again about the idea during Monday's news conference, Trump confirmed he has ordered U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to explore whether it might be a legal and cost-effective way to house American prisoners.

Outsourcing prison sentences for the most notorious traitors is Fiscally smart. 
 

In the good old days they called this exile.

Absolutely. It's a lot cheaper for us to pay them to house them.
