    Maybe we can send the Orange Turd there as retribution for the evil this man is doing.

    I have a stupid question: how did El Salvador even agree to this? Like what mechanism allowed Republicans to send people there to begin with?

      El Salvador’s regime has already sent 80k people to gulags since 2022, and capitalism found it cheaper to outsource US gulags to poor countries, the same way it did for manufacturing. Rather ironic, really.

      Also, Trump’s definitely making money off the deal somehow. It isn’t realistic to airlift tens of thousands of Americans there though. This is just the start. They’ll probably start building domestic death camps soon; to disappear the bulk of the undesirables.

        It is more of a way to sidestep the judicial process. The executive branch can act faster than the judicial branch in removing someone from the country before appeals. Once the person is in a foreign country, they are no longer in custody of someone under the control of American judges.

        It isn’t a cost saving measure, it is a legal loophole.
