Trump Proposes More Prisons in El Salvador for American Criminals

During a meeting with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, Donald Trump proposed that the country build more prisons to accommodate American criminals, referring to them as 'homegrowns.' He expressed support for deporting U.S. citizens convicted of serious crimes to El Salvador's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), which has faced criticism for human rights abuses. Trump suggested that additional facilities were needed, claiming that the current ones are not sufficient for the number of inmates. The conversation highlighted Trump's ongoing immigration policies and his willingness to expand deportations under legal frameworks. His comments, captured on a hot mic, sparked controversy and drew attention to the conditions within El Salvador's prison system. Critics have condemned the facility for its overcrowded and inhumane conditions, raising concerns about the implications of Trump's proposal.
