President Trump has proposed the controversial plan of deporting US citizens with criminal records to El Salvador's dangerous CECOT prison, especially targeting violent offenders. This discussion arose during a meeting with El Salvador's President Bukele, who agreed to the plan. Despite ongoing legal and ethical concerns following wrongful deportation cases, such as that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Trump emphasized the need to protect the US from 'monstrous' homegrown criminals. The administration aims to navigate legal frameworks while establishing cooperation with Bukeleâs government on this initiative.
President Trump expressed his intention to deport US passport-holding criminals to El Salvador's CECOT prison, contingent on legal review and compliance.
White House Press Secretary Leavitt confirmed that the plan to deport US criminals to El Salvador is under consideration, following Bukele's openness to the proposal.
