LEGAL Immigrants DEPORTED To HORRIFIC El Salvador Prison

U.S. DOLLAR COLLAPSE DISTRACTION - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Earlier this month, the Donald Trump administration deported more than 200 immigrants to a prison in El Salvador, defying a federal judge’s order to halt the flights. The move is part of the administration’s attempt to speed up deportations, invoking the legally questionable but definitely outdated Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Set aside, if you can, the executive overreach and suspension of constitutionally guaranteed rights, and a troubling picture still emerges. A foreign government is incarcerating hundreds of immigrants on the United States’ behalf, in a country most have never set foot in.

Why El Salvador? Well, it offered.

“We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system,” Bukele wrote online in February, following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to San Salvador. America is indeed the land of opportunity. Video footage, posted by Bukele on March 16, shows the immigrants arriving at a Salvadoran mega-prison. The men are manhandled by prison guards and have their heads shaved. In response to the federal judge’s order, Bukele responded like an internet troll instead of a head of state. “Oopsie … Too late ??,” he wrote on X.

There are many reasons to be worried: the documented human rights violations in El Salvador’s prison system, the suspension of due process, and the dismantling of an already broken immigration system. But despite how egregious this latest move is, it is part of a larger trend, one Bukele’s government has encouraged. The United States’ interests are being prioritized over the well-being of the Salvadoran people. Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. If Bukele has his way, El Salvador will be No. 52.
