Donald Trump also wants to deport US citizens to El Salvador

In certain cases, US President Donald Trump wants to refer particularly violent criminals to the country in certain cases if they have an American citizenship. “We always have to adhere to the laws, but we also have local criminals who push people in front of sub-railways, the older women hit the back of the head with a baseball bat when they look away. These are absolute monsters,” said Trump on Monday. “I would like to lock them into the group of those we want to get out of the country. But you have to look at the laws.”

Specifically, his statements were about the fact that the violent offenders should be deported to El Salvador, where they would then be locked up with the government of the Central American country as part of an agreement. The Trump government has already brought hundreds of migrants to a mega prison for serious criminals in El Salvador as criminal, most of them Venezoleer. It pays the country $ 6 million. The procedure is highly controversial, especially since among those affected is also a man who was accidentally deported.

Last week, Trump told journalists to “love” the idea of ​​deporting citizens to El Salvador after the country’s president, Nayib Bukele, declared that he was open to accommodating US prisoners. Since then, alarm bells have been shrilling from civil rights: Many right-wing experts are convinced that deportation of the US members born or naturalized in the USA violates the constitution. And Trump’s statements on Monday underpinned her fears that Trump is serious.

His comments fell in connection with a visit to Bukeles in Washington. Trump received the head of state from El Salvador in the White House, known for his hard line, and thanked him demonstratively for the support in the procedure against criminal immigrants. At the same time, he said that he wanted to send so many people living in the USA to El Salvador as possible. To do this, he will also help Bukele build new prisons. In the case of the accidentally deported asylum Kilmar Abrego Garcia, both Trump and Bukele made it clear that they did not plan to bring him back to the United States-although the Supreme US Court of Justice has ordered the return of the return.

The mega prison in El Salvador is highly controversial. According to critics, there are always violations of human rights. Bukele, on the other hand, is accused of having arrested numerous innocent people without the rule of law in his approach to gang crime. Bukele spoke about this to Trump. He said to him that he was accused of having locked up thousands of people. But he likes to say “that we have actually freed millions”. Then Trump said: “Do you think I can use that?”
