"But El Salvador's authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele has followed a different tack by calling on the Trump administration to follow his example in impeaching corrupt judges. His call for Trump to take action against the US judiciary also received support from Maga figures, including an X post by one-time close Trump ally Elon Musk, who has in the past boosted Bukele's calls to impeach US judges."
"Bukele's online call last week was just the latest in a long series of taunts and allegations he has made against the US's legal system, including a March claim that the US was facing a judicial coup, and his mockery of a federal judge's order to halt deportation flights sending accused illegal immigrants to his country's brutal prison system. Bukele's impeachment call was also made amid social media attacks on Oregon federal judge Karin Immergut"
Nayib Bukele called on the Trump administration to impeach corrupt US judges and urged the US to follow his example. His appeal received support from MAGA figures, including an X post by Elon Musk. The intervention occurred amid heightened threats to judicial independence and a pattern of authoritarian tactics used by the Trump administration similar to those in Turkey, Hungary, India and El Salvador. Bukele has repeatedly taunted the US legal system, alleging a judicial coup and mocking orders to halt deportation flights to his country's brutal prisons. The call coincided with social-media attacks on Oregon federal judge Karin Immergut by senior advisors and allies.
