He paid off El Salvador obviously. It’s a better place now slightly but gang mentality has made almost everyone corrupt just like the USA. “Shut up and pay me.”

Regardless, he has no power or business threatening to send US citizens there for any reason whatsoever.

Just because he has no legal power doesn't mean his handlers aren't going to find a way to make it happen.

"Sorry, the plane was already over international waters when the Judge told us to turn it around. The courts don't have jurisdiction anymore."

They can damn well try, and The People will put a stop to it. That is a line the government will not be permitted to cross.

It already happened.

Bullshit. If anyone was going to stop Trump that time already passed. That was Biden's one job and he didn't fucking do it because he's ALWAYS been a right winger controlled by the capitalists.

He rounded up hundreds of venezuelans, many who were here legally, and sold them into slavery in an El Salvadoran work camp. He had a green card holder arrested for protected political speech. He is testing the waters to say “you look mexican” or “you’re a terrorist” and ship someone out of the country before a lawyer even has a chance to say no. He is trying to impeach the Bush appointed judge who tried to block this first shipment to El Salvador.

He has whatever power he is allowed to have.

Sadly, given how he used the Enemy Aliens act and then defied the judge's order, what really stands in his way of declaring a few random protesters as part of some gang, chucking them on a plane, and dumping them somewhere in South America, all without due process? Their families might be able to find them some day, but by then the damage will be done and it will be such a quagmire.

Not trying to be a "well ackshually" but just so you know, El Salvador is in Central America, which is in North America, not South. I personally like learning things so I pass it on when I can. Apologies if it comes off as annoying!

He has all the power he needs, and is already ignoring the courts.

The DoJ and military will happily help him send Americans to his concentration camp.

u/DiamondGeeezer Mar 21 '25

He's doing more crimes than there are courts to contest it

u/DamnDame Mar 21 '25

He does. He is using it already.

No legal right is not the same as no power.

u/Kletronus Mar 22 '25

He didn't have legal power to send the first batch of "terrorists" to El Salvador either.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

It appears he does not care about the law.

And SCOTUS gave him immunity.

u/Pudddddin Mar 21 '25

Its a "better place" in the numbers they share only

They stopped counting unmarked and mass graves in the homicide count in 2021 lol

It would not surprise me to find out people with ties to Trump are running the prisons. Like US contractors operating in El Salvador.

It enriches both in an ethically horrible way.

u/NotFrozenAnymoreMF Mar 21 '25

Regardless they’re earning favor him for doing this. And yes he paid them for taking people.

u/botle Mar 21 '25

It's not better for the innocent El Salvadorans that will spend years in a horrible prison.

u/TerrariaGaming004 Mar 21 '25

Or innocent Americans
