[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm listening live to Trump's press conference with Bukele (president of El Salvador) in the WH today. When asked whether he'd consider sending US prisoners who are US citizens to the prison in El Salvador, he answered in the affirmative and said they were "looking into it." He seems to include US-born citizens because he used the word "home grown." He mentioned how much cheaper it would be to house US criminals in El Salvador and how much money they could save. Any lawyers care to weigh in on the legality of this?

Oh, and neither he nor Bukele are budging on returning the Maryland man who the SC weighed in on recently.

He said a lot of other unfiltered, bat-shit, and mendacious stuff which will make its way onto the news and social media soon. Buckle up.

Thanks for doing this work. I am not able to listen.

There are roughly 1 million in state prisons, 560,000 in state jails, and 203,000 in federal prisons. In that last category, approximately 11,000 in the Bureau of Prisons are there for violent offenses (homicide, robbery, sexual assault, other). The vast majority are in for drugs.

How is this going to work? Are states going to join with him and send their prisoners to El Salvador?

This is horrible.[/quote]
