[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me what power does a US senator has to go to the foreign country and demand that that country release their own citizen???? Based on what? Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador and El Salvador made decision not to release him. How is it legal for the foreign government to exercise any power over the citizens of El Salvador in El Salvador? [/quote]

Because ES is only keeping him locked up bc the US is paying them to do so. If we stopped giving our money to ES he’d be released.[/quote]

A foreign country can choose who they incarcerate based on their own rules. What power does US have to tell them what to do with their own citizens?[/quote]

We keep telling you—the US IS dictating what happens to this guy. The US is paying to keep him in prison.[/quote]

According to Van Hollen.  [b]A lot of other evidence suggests this is not true[/b].  The US is paying for Venezuelans to be imprisoned.[/quote]

Cite for the "lot of other evidence" you are referring to? Grok disagrees with you.

"The U.S. government is paying El Salvador to house all deportees sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), which includes both Venezuelan and Salvadoran prisoners. Reports indicate that the U.S. paid approximately $6 million to El Salvador to detain 261 individuals deported on March 15, 2025, comprising 238 alleged Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members and 23 alleged Salvadoran MS-13 gang members. The payment is part of an agreement to cover the costs of their incarceration at CECOT, with no distinction made between nationalities in the financial arrangement. Additional deportations, such as 17 Salvadorans and 10 others mentioned later, are also covered under this deal, though specific payment amounts for these smaller groups are not detailed."
